    David Toms question: Twistaway to start downswing?

    I have always love DT's swing but he has one move to start his downswing that I could never figure out what (or why) he was doing it. After watching the 1st half of NSA I am wondering if DT is performing the twistaway move to start his downswing and then just turning through to a complete finish?

    Plan to improve

    Brian, I have the rest of the summer/fall (and winter) with no tournaments so I want to try and fix my swing. My problem is I have very little load going back and throw it out even more coming down. Result is no power, a lot of body movement forward to try and get something to hit it with...

    it's offical

    I stink. Club Championship - 89. And I had to scramble like mad to shoot that. I have the short game of a 3 and the long game of a 12. And thats being unkind to 12's Left, right, left, right. 0 greens hit. end of rant.

    Quiet my body

    Jump out of the car after work, head straight to first tee and hit my opening drive with a (very) little stretching. Perfect drive with slight fade and good length. Very easy swing. AS I loosen up during the next few holes the ball starts to go more and more right as my body gets more involved...

    Hitting vs. Swinging

    Happy 4th. Never really understood the difference between hitting and swinging. Always seems to get bogged down in a technical discussion. I would appreciate it if, in layman's terms (or BM speak), someone would explain the differences between these two and why you should consider one over the...

    Block and Hook

    bad shots lately have been a big block (always been my bad shot) and a pull hook. Block feels like I am standing up and club gets under plane while the hook feels like my pivot stops and the club flips. To help get rid of these I have been thinking about the position of the clubhead and/or left...

    Furyk's Grip

    Started fooling around with Furyk's double overlap grip and really like it. I can feel the club swing better and feel like I get better set going back and lag coming down. Any thoughts on the mrits of this grip?

    Sergio

    Watched Episode #5 again and while the focus was on JN, Sergio is another prime example of that move. What is actually increasing the lag in Sergio's move? Is the right wrist bending back more? Or is he just leaving his hands at the top and holdng on while he pivots though which does it? As...

    What "holds" the lag angle?

    I may have been confused on what holds the lag angle coming down. I know you are supposed to feel it in pp#3, which I interpreted to mean that lag is held/stored from the top of the downswing by keeping the angle in your wrists (BRW/FLW) and felt in pp3. So to store the angle you need to...

    Sergio, Camillo, Boo and others

    They had Camillo V on Swingvision over the weekend and talked about his downcock in his swing contributing to his length. Obviously, Sergio is the king of this and a recent YouTube showed Boo doing a pretty good job too. I was wondering what you need to do to increase the lag/downcock in the...

    Left foot Position

    I have never really had much turn in the left foot so I am experimenting with the position of my left foot (right handed swing), turning it out more. It seems like I get in a better sit down position and it gies me more room to release. WOndering about the pros/cons of a turned out left foot.

    More angle/Lag needed

    Had a lesson this weekend with video and it was obvious in my swing that I do not creat ANY angle going back or coming down. At the top of my backswing the angle was measured at 120* and half way down in my downswing the lag angle was only 141*. As I have stated here before, I have a lot of...

    Practice station

    Brian, Do you have any suggestions on how people should set up their practice area when hitting balls? I put down a club for alignment, but that is about it. Should we do anything else?

    Rounder, deeper, flatter

    Any advice on how to get my backswing flatter and deeper behind me as well as a more rounded swing as a whole? Hard to explain what I am doing right now, but I know I have to do the above. With my current backswing my only move is forward, either with a bump of the hips which drops the club...

    Books on the Mental side

    I have read a bunch of books on the mental side of golf (no jokes :)) but find the majority to be lacking. I especially think the Rotella stuff is weak. The focus on the target stuff he preaches has never worked for me. I have found 2 that I thought were good: Zen and the Art of Archery The...

    Brian Your opinion on Augusta

    BM, INtersted in your opinion on how hard AN was playing. Obviously the scores showed very hard, but tough to see exactly why. Wind I assume. Dont give me the cold either, it looked balmy compared to MA and I have played in worse! :)
