    Plane board

    I know a guy that has a decent relationship with Bender and he said if Zach could go back in time he would work with a plane board every day religiously. I'm curious what the instructors here think of that? Do you use one with your teaching? Is it a good idea? He has instructions he said he...

    Downswing initially too steep

    Any ideas how to help the initial part of the downswing? Getting the club shallower closer to impact but need to make compensations for it to happen. I've seen try to flatten your backswing but I've also seen steepen your backswing???

    Uneven lies

    Would be nice to see what the experts on here play uneven shots: Uphill Downhill Ball above feet Ball below feet My boy is playing in his last tournament (championship) soon so we went and played a practice round the other day. Very nice course and the fairways offered very few flat lies...

    Clubfitting question: Lie angles

    Should lie angles change as a person grows? My gut says yes but I'm not an expert. The reason I'm asking is that I just noticed my son's toe was way off the ground when he addressed the ball today. For him to address the ball correctly his hands would be WAY too high. The thing that really bugs...

    Toe shots - low hooks

    Seems like when I used to hook the ball the shots were closer to the heel of the club. Now I'm hitting really low hooks and contact is more towards the toe. Really don't feel like I'm excessively inside out or outside in because I laid a 2x4 outside of the ball and am not hitting it. Any...

    Johnson Wagner

    Why is he such a "short" hitter? He's practically a middle linebacker that gives it a big rip yet is ranked 164th in driving.

    Putter setup

    Curious how you guys set up for putting? Are you 50/50 or a little more weight on your left foot? What is the purpose for more weight on the left?

    Follow through position

    What would make a right handed golfer finish with his right arm across his face?

    My son's swing

    Here are a couple of swings from my 7 year old boy. His shot is normally right to left that can sometimes turn into a hook. Earlier this year he was swinging really flat/laid off but he's getting better. He also likes a pretty strong right hand grip but I normally tell him to get it back to more...

    Release exercise

    Stumbled upon this video where a guy shows how to release the club and some ways to train it. Wondering if the Manzella camp agrees with this or not? I just find it interesting because the other day I read where a pro (can't remember who) practiced with a ball between their legs. Thanks Sorry...

    Downswing: Hands behind me and laid off

    Hey everyone, struggling with the club getting really laid off when I transition into the downswing and my hands seem to get way behind me. Coming into the ball my hands seem real low and right next to my front right pocket. Very inconsistent right now with the occasional "skank". Anyone have...

    Rangefinder vs GPS

    Hey everyone, been gone for a long time but that's what happens when you have snow. Anyways, my son will be getting into some tourneys this year and they allow devices to measure distance. Looking for something to utilize both on the course and off. Any suggestions? Thanks, Curtis

    Shanks (with a Manzella answer for the ages)

    How can you go from playing really good golf to the "skanks"? What should I be looking for to get rid of these evil creatures? Can't get rid of them!!! Was going to really get serious about the club championship and then this happened, it's like a dagger to the heart. :(

    Zach Johnson's finish

    How do you describe Zach's last part of his swing? Mostly talking about the club and his right arm in a perfect line. Is that good or bad and why? Just took some video of my son and after the club gets parallel (after impact) in his follow through they look like twins. What do you think of...
