So the Masters is over. Any updates to the new videos? Anything new to share on what you've been working on the last 6 months Brian?

I cant seem to find an answer to this question using search so forgive me if its been covered. What would the swing tendencies be with a club face that is to closed during the backswing? Furthermore, how would I fix it? When I try to swing back with a more neutral club face I tend to...

Hope this is okay. If not let me know and I'll take it down. Not looking for swing help just thought this was some fun video. Took him to golf practice with me the other day and let him hit some balls on the range. He plays golf with me once in a while but hasn't really caught the bug yet...

I can tend to be a little OCD and it helps me to think through a new concept out loud in an attempt to understand it. In this case out loud is posting on this forum. It seems that Art has proved that setting the rear hip before the back swing to facilitate dynamic balance and rotating the...

If your not familiar with Pareto's principle wiki it. You'll have a better understanding of it than I could hope to convey here. An alternate name of the Pareto Principle, the 80/20 rule, has been applied to a lot of things outside of economics. A very simplified explanation of 80/20 is that...

My standard disclaimer, I'm not an expert just a high school golf coach that loves to play the game. I've been working on the soft draw pattern for several weeks and just haven't been able to make it work. I was working to hard at trying to make the ball draw. I'm not sure when the light bulb...

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert. I'm a mid 80's player thinking out loud and looking for educated opinions. I also think to much. I've been watching lots of video of the younger players on tour and in college. All most all of these swings seem to be very similar. Yes they look different if...

I haven't put my swing on video in a long time. I suffer from inconsistency like most amateurs and would like to get better. My swing is self taught. I have never had a lesson in my life. I'm not a bad player. My normal scores are right around 80 on moderately difficult courses. I'm not a...

I'm having some great results with softdraw. I'm starting to think this might be the best pattern for me but I'm having a couple of issues. Why do I tend to roll the face open on the back swing and how do I stop doing this? Also, I've been hitting some pulls while working on SD. Not pull...

"Tiger did better when we worked on motion more than positions. He picked up the importance of posture or ball position better when I would show him how to hit certain shots, which was his favorite thing. I never tried to load him up with a lot of mechanical thoughts." -- John Anselmo I have...

I need to shoot some video and post it up but I'll try to describe what I'm doing in hopes of getting some answers. I have a take away that goes a good bit inside with a closed face. My first move back is a full turn of the hips. My first move down is a snap of the hips to the left. Club...

I just purchased building blocks the other day. I've used the grip described in the video for most of my playing carreer. The problem I have with the grip is when I change my grip pressure a little bit, make it a little tighter, the face closes. What am I doing wrong? Could this account for...

I'm a high school golf coach and it's time to start getting ready for the season again. I always have difficulty teaching the rules of golf in a way that will allow my players to apply them during a round of golf. I had an idea the other day to break the rules down and focus on the...

So I just finished an 18 month, military induced, layoff from golf. With the current weather in middle USA it may be a bit longer. So what should my plan be to get my swing back? I never established a handicap but was a decent player before my time off. Usually played 18 in the high 70's to...

My swing gets really lose at the top and has since I started playing 10 years ago. My left arm bends a little to much and my left hand grip gets a little lose at the top. I lose my feel for the clubhead, over accelerate, come over the top a little, hit pull hooks followed by blocks, and manage...
