I struggle with collapsing my left arm at the top and my right arm gets too bent (> 90 degrees). I also lose the lag in my downswing. I am wondering if extensor action would help keep the lag or do the two have nothing to do with each other. Thanks for your help! Mike

Hello all! I have yet to hear anyone who can explain why shots are hit on the heel. I do this all the time and lose distance and accuracy because of it. Is it because my downswing is slightly over the top? Or is there something else? I have tried moving away from the ball at set up and...

I have his new video and it talks about swinging. Very rope-like arms and letting all of the energy flow down the shaft and into the ground. He likes to say dump the energy into the ball. I like his ideas- very TGM-may have learned from Ben Doyle or McHatton. Has anyone had a lesson from him?

Hello all, I can carry a driver 265. Hit a 5 iron 195. But I can barely get a 54 degree wedge 100 yards even when it feels solid. What gives? Thanks for the help! Mike

When I see video and picture of good ballstrikers, they seem to have very quiet lower bodies. I am wondering if that is a conscious effort or the result of the proper swing motion? There seems only to be slight lateral shift and then posting up on the left leg. Part of my problem has been the...

Brian, I changed my grip to more of a neutral one thanks to your grip article. I am hitting the ball straighter, but my distance is not what it was. Even well struck shots are coming up about 10-15 yards short with every club in the bag. I used to carry my 5 iron 185- now I struggle to just hit...

Brian, I have been working on swivel action in my swing and it feels sort of like I am just letting the toe of the club release fully. is this a correct feel? The back of my left hand and forearm feel as if they are rotating down towards the ground halfway to thru the finish. It is very...

Brian, How do I keep my right shoulder back in the downswing? It seems that when I hit drivers or long irons I always end up coming over the top and pulling the shot. How can I work getting this right? Thanks Mike

Hello all, Lately it seems that I have been spinning out on shots. THis has led to pulls and/or horrible contact. At least I think this is why I pull and have bad contact. I am wondering if there are some drills to help me get to sit down position easier. Should I try to keep my right foot...

What did people think of Gary Edwin's ideas on the swing? He teaches Peter Lonard and Rod Pampling. The swing looks very simple and looks like hitting to me. Any thoughts? Mike

Lately I have been feeling like I am hitting the ball off the right hip. This has helped me pivot better and my ball striking is solid. I have heard this tip before from various places (Ballard, Mike Austin). Is this a good feeling to have with a TGM swing? Thanks fm
