    Running out of right arm

    Hey guys, i'm trying to rid myself of a problem of running out of right arm and scooping the ball particularly with my short irons. Woods i'm hitting really well at the moment and longest i've ever hit them. To get better though i've got to start hitting my wedges in particular a lot more...

    Manzella Neutral & Setup

    Hi guys, i've moved to a "Manzella Neutral" style grip recently from a strong grip and have been hitting a lot of straight pushes and push slices with my irons and sometimes driver (a long way right). I've found that if i address the ball with the clubface slightly open i have a hard time...

    Plane Shifts Part 2

    Following on from the Sonic Doom thread..... this video i think is along the lines of what Sonic raised... a steeper downswing than backswing. What do you guys think of this type of motion... is it OTT? http://members.iinet.net.au/~jds072/070115%207i%20DTL.avi I have a tendency to hit...

    Right elbow half way down

    Hi guys, I'm struggling with a problem particularly in my short and mid irons of 'running out of right arm' in that my right arm starts to move slightly 'out' away from my right hip and starts to straighten about when my hands are hip high. This results in a small flip at the bottom to make...

    Swing Analysis Request - Stuart Appleby

    Hey Brian, have enjoyed your swing analysis threads a lot. If you get the time i'd like to put in a request for an analysis of Stuart Appleby's swing. Some say hitter, others say swinger, some say a bit of both. Would be interested to hear your thoughts ! :)

    Overactive hip slide

    I'm trying to calm down a too aggresive hip move towards the target on the downstroke with my driver. Seems like it has gotten a bit more extreme over time so i'm looking for a drill that may help me to really feel the difference of not lurching towards the target from the top. Any drills or...

    How to hit Low, trapped Wedges Brian?

    Hi Brian, Some time back you suggested hitting some low, trapped wedges (i.e. a low draw ball flight) as a way to ensure a flat left wrist at impact and eliminate any last minute scooping. Do you have some more info as to how to setup for this and what you should be feeling? Cheers

    Baby Scoops

    Hi Brian, thanks again for the "Former Flipper" Video, some gems in there. I've pretty much worked the flipping out of my system and are hitting some pretty solid irons. On video i notice sometimes i lose a bit of right wrist bend only in the last few inches before striking the ball... i'm...

    Irons ok... Woods terrible!

    Irons ok... But problems now with the Woods Hi all, I seem to be stuck in a cycle of a month or so striking solid irons and can't hit a wood to save my life then back the other way. On the weekend I struck my irons probably better than i ever had, long and with a nice high draw. With...

    Flipping Wedges

    For some reason I have the biggest problem retaining a flat left wrist when hitting half shots with sand wedges or pitching wedges On the downswing i tend to lose the bend in the right wrist about halfway down which then leads to hitting the outside of the ball or worse still a shank. With...

    Twistaway on Downswing

    Hi all, i've been experimenting with the twistaway that Brian describes and have had really good results in stopping throwaway and really compressing the ball (especially with wedges which i've found hardest to control). I don't normally have a really open clubface at the top so it seems that...

    Ball Flight "Laws"

    Hi Brian, you mentioned in a couple of threads a potential video showing how the clubface and path influence direction and spin (and how in the real world that differs from the PGA ball flight "laws"). Did this ever get made? Of particular interest is how to draw/fade the ball and how to...

    #10 - Clubface Aim at Address and Impact

    Hi Brian, in your previous articles you mention "not to hit it at the target" and to aim the clubface slightly open to allow for horizontal hinging and subsequent closing clubface. Would be interesting to see how you go about establishing how much the clubface needs to be opened up to get the...

    Shanks - A familiar topic again

    Firstly thanks Brian for the Flipper video - great stuff. I've been practising chipping a lot lately and have got the flat left wrist working well. Occassionaly i shank the ball however - i've eliminated all of the possible causes and have come back to the theory that in my case my hands are...
