I know that we don't want a lot of handle dragging in our swing, not I seem to hit my best wedges with a handle dragging approach. This works very effectively until I get to around a nine/eight iron, any particular reason for this?

Big time props to Stacy Lewis for becoming world number one. Overcame physical issues to get there and didn't let her caddies mistake throw her off this week despite the two stroke penalty

So, I have really been struggling with the driver lately, and I have had a feeling it's been holding me back from improving my golf game. Currently I'm a 4 handicap, but it's good iron play and short game that's been saving my ass, as I'm consistently hitting blocks to the right and hangback...

ok, forgive me for being thick headed here, but trying to understand the science Brian, Mike, et. al have brought to the thread and want to make sure I understand some of the forces correctly. Is it correct to say that at start down there should only be tangential force(ie: force along the...

Wow, very impressive.

ok, I've been working on the out-toss and was getting really good results, however, lately, it's been fore left, and I believe the reason is when I start my down swing, I hang back on the right side, never really getting back to the left, greatly increase my axis tilt, therefore the clubhead is...

ok, I understand from Brian's studies that in order to hit a ball straight with an iron you must swing left to offset the down, and to hit a driver straight you should swing slightly up and right. So my question is, ideally would your amount of shaft lean decrease, and path go more right as you...

ok, each year, I look back and review my season to determine if i had a good year. Key stats I look at are index, average score, etc. For me, this was a very solid year, Index got to a low of 2.8, for the first time in my life my average score was in the 70's(78.9), i had my lowest score at my...

So I've really been working on more of an out-toss and lessening the pull/tug as per recent articles from Brian and Mike, which by the way, thanks a ton. I've really moved toward normal and have greatly lessened the pull and force against the shat I was applying with great results. When I was...

So last week, i had the privalege of playing with a guy who played on tour for 18 years. It was a really neat experience, especially hearing some of his stories. But of particular interest was his thoughts on playing a draw or fade. Talk about a simple approach. Assuming you are right handed...

Some things I've noticed about the best players at my club. 1. They don't practice much 2. They started playing young 3. They don't get lessons 4. They have one swing and they don't mess with tinkering around with whatever the latest article in Golf Digest was 5. They have good short games 6...

spent the day at the Tour Championship in Atlanta. Great day for golf, crowd was very manageable so really got some close up views of some things. My son almost got hit by Lee Westwood's approach, which went long right on 7, Lee then proceeded to hit a nice little chunk and run and save par...

What did you guys think about Sir Nick's comments on Tiger, " He fragile", " His excuse about being too relaxed, I don't buy for a second" Pretty tough feedback. The expectations are so crazy for Tiger it's insane. I'm not a Tiger fan, but for crying out loud, the guy finished 40th, T21, T3...

so, we had our club championship this week. I played horribly, got the pull hooks and it's not easy playing a 7000 yd course out of the left rough all day. What was amazing was how bad the scores were. The winner shot 73,76,71, so pretty decent, but nobody, and I mean nobody shot to their...

ok, to all of you experienced tournament players out there, aka Kevin Shields, Brian Manzella, Lindsay,etc. etc. for a lot of us amateur hacks it's tourmanent/club championship season. so what are your suggestions for getting ready in the last couple of weeks. I'm thinking I've got to go with...
