Brian, I get way too caught up in swing mechanics, to the detriment of my game. I have vowed this year to Keep it simple, stupid. I know my main faults: I get Aligned right of target, ball too far forward, and tend to get too tall at address. In addition, with all the mechanical thougts, esp. on...

Have always played my hands more forward but moving towards the mid body hands setup. It really changes the feel of the initial part of the backswing. It is more one piece, as opposed to an earlyish type set. Not sure exactly what my question is but was hopng to open a discussion on the merits...

How do you upload an avatar next to your name?

When I try and use the LCT or the Nicklaus backswing (hands above clubhead to top as BM described on Youtube) I really like the tempo and power storage it gives me but I always slice the ball off the earth. SHould I be doing something in combination w/ this type of takeway on the downswing to...

This thought has been rolling around in my head for a while so I thought I would put it out here to see if it gets shot down or not so if need be I can clear room in the limited space upstairs for some other more useful information. Does the length of the club you are swinging effect the length...

I pulled this out of the other thread so it doesn't get lost. I can trace a SPL in my backswing pretty easily, but have trouble on the downswing. I have a few tendencies - swing too far to the right, come over with an open clubface, and I am sure there may be other things I do as well. My...

Do the same ideas hold for tracing the SPL after impact, ie. line is being traced or club is parallel to it all the way to the finish? When done correctly, does it feel like you are swinging more left?

A lot of exercise recommendations involve working on strengthening your core to help with power and prevent injuries. I was wondering what role the core plays in the golf swing as it relates toTGM.

I really think Vijay may have the best tempo out there today. I love watching him swing it. I have read he uses the term "seventeen" when he is swinging to help his tempo and if you say it while he swings you can see he really swings to that beat. Has anyone ever seen him hit it live? It looks...

Hit balls for the first time of the season here in MA. After listening to BM over the years, it finally sunk in that I really need to figure out how to fix my clubface. Here's the deal: my ball flight, esp. my irons is a weak cut (driver too). Ball starts at target/right of target and slices...

I know he is long, but some of the shots he hit with his irons yesterday were unbelievable. A 4 iron 242 yds into a par 5, a 203 yd 8 iron into 18. I can't fathom how he hits his irons that far.

Growing up I played all different sports;different one each season and then some. There were a few kids who would play different sports each season as well as play one all year round (esp. hockey). It seems that nowadays the trend is to pick one sport and play it all year round and golf (weather...

Brian, You mention these quite a bit but I am not really sure what you mean by swinging more left or swinging too far right. What is this in relation to? Thanks.

Watched him this weekend in the SOny and really love hiss wing. He appears to do a great job tracing a straight plane line back and through. He always seems so square. Maybe a review?

I have been doing one arm swings with the Momentus and it has really helped me ingrain the left arm, wedding ring up, motion and feeling. Stop, drop and roll.

I always get too consumed about how to take the club back and I really think it hurts my swing, esp. my tempo. I am always worrying about how I should take it back; early set, club outside hands, good turn, etc. It changes on a daily basis, if not hole by hole or even shot by shot. The times I...

Mike, Given your recent thread about playing more, I am always interested in hearing how good players play the game. Do you play with swing thoughts? Do you envision the ball flight and try and produce the shot? Target oriented? Other?

Had the Momentus club yesterday and was just swinging with the left arm and really noticed how I could get it to go wedding ring up very easily when I let it go. Added in "Video 3" advice of letting arms drop and moving them through with pivot and swing felt very powerful and fast. This the...

Since my original question got thread jacked, I was hoping Brian or someone on Brian's team could explain how the pro's increase their swing speed so dramatically from hip level through impact. I am wondering if you answer it in your video #3 Brian where you talk about dropping the arms and then...

After watching the Tiger Challenge this weekend- especially Tiger, Stenson and Ogilvy - I am amazed at how much speed they generate from about hip level in the downswing through the ball. They are so smooth in their backswing and first part of downswing to about hip level then they just whip it...
