I remember a picture from a while ago showing Brian holding a golfers head "back" while pulling or stretching the club forward about halfway into the follow through. The effect was to get the student to feel what it was like to maintain tilt away from the target as opposed to moving the upper...

Can someone give me an idea what's going on with that finish? It looks like he is trying to hit the biggest wipe cut ever, but I have a hunch he hits it pretty straight-ish. Is it just a "Super Spiderman" left hand? How does he do that with a driver? I know he is a good sized fella with...

I am looking harder and harder at flipping the gaps in my set. 3° in the long end and 5° on the short end just does not make sense to me. Sure, it's easier to hit a softie, baby cut take 2 yards off wedge than the same shot with a 4 iron, but why am I hitting that shot anyway? If I had...

For years, I have stood too far from the ball. I am fixing that issue now, but as I move closer to the ball, I hit shanks. I realize that this has more to do with how I am used to backing the club up to square it than the actual distance from me to the ball and where the hosel is in between...

What is the issue here? Is the US a bunch of non-closing cash machines? Are the Captains not in touch with reality? Do the US teams not care as much? What say you?

A question for everyone out there. What is your best drill for club face awareness?

Does anyone have any visuals or drills like the Yellow Brick Road to show proper path to the golfer through their own eyes, but for the backswing instead of the follow through? Thank you in advance.

I feel that I may be overdoing the "step on the right foot" to start the backswing. By the time the club head is just above waist high on the backswing, my left heel is already off the ground and all of my weight is shifted to the right foot. From that point, the rest of the swing feels poorly...

So watching these guys on the range today (okay, so I am gloating a bit!), I am struck by a commonality that I see. Almost every shot these guys hit does all of its curving on the way to its apex and then falls almost straight down. Is this due to how closely the face and resultant path...

Can someone describe the correct or optimal movement of the right shoulder complex from address to follow through please? Does the shoulder start "pulled in" by the right hand and arm, then pull back during the backswing, stat back during the downswing, and then get pulled forward as the arms...

Since the downswing takes approximately .3 seconds, how long into the downswing do we have to initiative the torque that will square the club face? Nicklaus liked to say that he was "releasing" the club from the top. So, if needed, should the first move "down" (for someone learning to square...

I need help with a grip problem. I am double jointed in both thumbs. This causes my left thumb to go farther into extension during my swing which then causes my right hand and heel pad to fold farther over my left thumb and into a weaker position during the swing. What can I do to remedy...

How do you decide on your yardage gaps between clubs? Some pros have exact distances between all their irons. Peter Hanson has exactly 13 yds between each club from lw up to his 3 hybrid. A former poster used to talk about having your tightest gaps in what he referred to as your "danger...

You are standing over a shot. Any shot outside of a 6' putt or so. For whatever reason, you hit what you would consider a poor shot. Basically a shot that is going to make you have to work for your par. Semi-disgusted, you drop (or tee up) another ball, add or subtract that one bit of info...

I've noticed that when taking my grip, both hands are twisting or applying pressure as if to get into dorsi-flexion (the left wrist twisting towards "stronger" and the right going the opposite way, towards "weaker"). From here through the first part of the backswing, these pressures continue...
