With all the analysis going on around the web I think an interesting case would be 'what has happened to Kaymer'? Seems to have lost his way a bit since being the world no.1 - today +6 at an event he has done well at (3 wins since 2007). He was Mr. Consistent for a while, but apparently tried...

Can anyone help explain to me the following image, from the Steven Nesbit paper on hub path: The initial move is far less ‘tangential’ than I expected - is this to prevent jacknifing of the club? Also, I didn’t expect a much narrower path. Lets say you are the golfer above, with the ‘Actual’...

Just wondering if there is a resource where some of the papers are available? I recently found Steven Nesbit's article courtesy of Lia...

Just a quick question/thought: This optimal point of applying torque (around the coupling point) that can now be defined...how does this relate to the club face squaring up? Lets say for an individual the new model says the optimum release point should be later - now the golfer is holding off...

I have a trackman question :) There is some data around from 2009 that includes averages of PGA players on trackman. The driver stats are: Angle of Attack : -1.3 deg Vertical Launch : 11.2 deg A Trackman newsletter states that the launch angle for a driver is 85% dynamic loft, 15% attack...

Hi Just got back from the range, still working at that tumble thread and its many nuggets.. Anyway, I noticed something: when I try and lay the club off in the downswing (with a closed counterfall, or at least what I feel as such) I feel a big increase in pressure on the right index finger...

So, evaluating my swing with some recent concepts from here.. it looks very much like I need to steepen the swing plane. Thinking about why it became horizontal I came up with this. The need to have a downward strike, tons of forward lean (lag!) and a divot that started way after the ball led...

..starting to hook shots regularly! Basically I've been playing at least 6 months throwing my hands at the ball (or plane line) in the downswing. To quote Lindsey Newman on another (old) thread here, I "obviously (had) to stand the shaft up and back it up to get the face on the ball". Add this...

Hey guys I notice in a lot of Brian's videos some form of 'lagging clubhead takeaway'. Commonly I see mid body hands at address, the clubhead staying behind the left arm going back, then 'loading' behind in the transition. When I started playing this lag thing was being made out to be the big...

Hi guys Turns out I've developed a bit of a flip/stand up at impact move (or combination of both)..it sure doesn't feel like I flip at it but video says otherwise! Anyway, I think the reason for it is I set-up with my arms hanging down (fairly vertical, maybe just off, but relaxed might be the...

Hi guys, another question :) I've been experimenting with grip strength recently. I've read elsewhere that "most people don't get enough forward lean due to a weak grip". I've had mixed results with different grips, something weak seems to favour a more consistent shot shape for me (I think)...

Hi, Well, I posted this a moment ago, and its since been removed? I can only think in error, as its a genuine question from someone new wanting to learn.. Anyway, my question was essentially what factors cause a 'penetrating' ball flight? Having just seen my first tour event up close and...
