    Hip Turn on Backswing and its Effects....?

    Does the amount of hip turn on the backswing affect distance? What about accuracy? There is of course the X Factor thing that says limiting hip turn while turning your shoulders will increase distance, and Tiger, Villegas, and some guys on tour do this well. But then young Jack Nicklaus used...

    David Toms Swing Vision

    With so much talk of lag and hitting down on the ball I was kind of shocked to see this. Brian, did you ever try to add lag and a more descending blow to David Toms' swing? Do you think it would help him? oIkTHPmFAZo

    Why do I tend to hook knockdown shots?

    I (and I've noticed many other people) tend to hook knockdown shots. I play the ball back, maybe halfway between the center and right foot, might have my weight a little left at address. The shot has the lower trajectory that was intended, but a lot of times has a hook on it I did not intend...

    Johnny Milller is a tremendous coward

    He always waits for the result of the shot to happen, then he acts like he knew what would happen all along and is much superior mentally to the player. Meanwhile he's the same guy who couln't break 80 when he attempted to play on the senior tour. He never says anything before the shot because...

    Putters: How Much Offset?

    What do you all think about the benefits or problems of a putter having a large or small amount of offset. I think offset is the right word, I'm talking about the shaft being set ahead and at an angle to the face. Most all putters have this. It seems that the more offset then the more you...

    Drive with Trouble Along One Side

    What is the safest/smartest/most effective way to play a hole with trouble along one side. For example let's say there is water all down the right side of the fairway, do you: Start it over the water and draw it back to the fairway? Start it safely well left over land and fade it back...

    Anyone else get tired while playing?

    It's summer and hot but still, I don't think I should be getting as tired as I do after about 12 or 13 holes. I drink plenty of water, but I normally don't eat anything while playing. Do you guys eat while playing if so what? And what else do you do to prevent losing energy on the back nine...

    Pitch Shots and Grip Strength

    I have noticed that it is easier to mishit pitch shots with a strong grip and consistently solid contact is not as difficult with a weaker grip, or at least neutral. I read in a Dave Pelz book that he says there should be a short game grip which is weaker than normal. What do you guys think...

    Grip and Ballflight Changing...

    I'm sure like me, some of you guys have gone from slicing the ball, back to hooking, to hitting it straight, back to slicing, etc. This may happen over the course of weeks or months while overcorrecting from the last fault. What's weird and frustrating is that my grip and swing slightly and...

    Where to Look When Putting?

    Where do you guys look or where have you heard tour players look when you are standing over the ball about to hit a putt. Let's say it's a 10 foot putt that breaks 6 inches left. I look at a spot six inches left. Seems to work pretty well. But sometimes if the green is unblemished it's hard...

    Accidentally Aiming Right

    I tend to accidentally aim right, and I've noticed that I'd say about three fourths of all golfers aim right without knowing it. Why does this happen and how can it be prevented?
