    What do I do now?

    I'm stuck. Not necessarily in the technical sense. Just in the sense of not knowing what to do. I haven't had a lesson for a while, and this is the first time I've seen my swing on video for a few years. Frankly, I'm not sure what to make of it. I knew that I had a tendency to swing in to out...

    Connection?

    As in arms moving in sync with the torso. Specifically, as in holding a handkerchief, or a headcover, or a towel, or a tee (since we're not namechecking specific methods any more!) in one or both armpits whilst swinging. Any thoughts from the forum on whether this is good, bad or baloney? IF...

    Hacker to Pebble Beach Head Pro

    This was posted on another thread which was already heading off the rails into a pseudo-therapy dispute. Rather than take the original thread even further off-topic, I'm posting this fresh in a new thread. Anyone know more about this story? Sounds interesting.

    So, how hard is golf?

    Not a rhetorical question. Seems like a near-constant undercurrent in teaching and discussion is that golf is a hard sport. I'm not sure I understand the reasons for this. Usually the arguments take one of 3 forms: 1. The "long bat, small ball" argument. Long clubs, high clubhead speed...

    Weight transfer thread?

    We had a thread on here, a few weeks ago, with quite a bit of discussion on weight transfer. I'm damned if I can find it now, although I've tried using the search function. From memory, there was a lot of discussion on Stack and Tilt, and Foley, ideas about weight transfer. Where the weight was...

    How to not cross the line?

    Please post your thoughts, feels or moves for getting away from an across the line position at the top towards a more in-line position. Anyone who has wrestled with this - please post what problems you came up against, especially if you resolved them. Many thanks BS

    What does the hole in my glove tell me?

    I know, I know - other than that I need a new glove. I started wearing a left hand glove for the first time in years this summer. Relatively quickly, I wore a hole in the thumb - immediately below the crease of the joint nearest the end of my thumb. This is the same spot that tends to blister...

    Nice article on pitching

    Not new, but new to me - and I liked it. Mark Roe seems to have done great things with Lee Westwood's short game. Some similarities to Utley in terms of philosophy I thought, but technique-wise likes a more upright action than SU...

    Clubfitters/Design gurus?

    This topic came up on another thread and I thought it was interesting in its own right. The issue was "high launch, low spin" shafts in irons - and I wanted to know how these work and what changes in the impact conditions to achieve this. The variables that seem relevant to me are dynamic loft...

    Revenge of the cliches

    I should know better. I'd guess most people on this board already know better, at least if they've been paying attention. I've read my Cochrane and Stubbs, and my Jorgenson, and I know that there's no such thing as a "heavy hit", and that there's no extra juice on the ball if I keep my weight...

    General lessons from trackman

    I'd be interested in what people, teachers or players, with regular access to trackman (or similar) facilities have gleaned that's of general interest and application For example, if I were a busy teacher using trackman with my students, I would hope that I would eventually draw some...
