I was lucky enough to take a lesson from Brian this morning as part of his Ann Arbor tour stop. I've been lurking on this site for a while now and thought this occasion might merit my 1st post.
I won't give a full review of the lesson, but will simply say that it was fantastic, as advertised by many others on this site.
After watching me for a bit, Brian quickly made some changes to my setup that opened up a number of new elements that I could put into my swing. If I was interpreting it correctly, it sounded like my old setup was basically forcing me into doing some non-optimal things just to hit it decent.
The reason I'm mentioning this is that I've been following this site for a while, but I'm generally picking out and trying out ideas of things to do during the swing. For others, like me, who were previously trying to work things out on their own, I think it's easy to skip the "boring" setup stuff and dive right in to the swing itself. I'm guessing it's often overlooked by others, because I was around long enough this morning to see Brian's next 2 lessons and, in both, he was positioning hips, shoulders, and other setup angles within the first 10 minutes.
Okay -- got the 1st post out of the way. Thanks to all for the wonderful forum...
