I know we are here to debate the finer points of swing mechanics, but ultimately (and obviously) we need to transfer the swing from the range to the course, something that I have a hard time doing. I was watching Justin Leonard on "playing Lessons w/ the Pros" the other night and he said that he...

How much lateral movement should there be going back and through?

I was hoping to get some help/advice from Brian and others on how to correct some of my swing faults that were uncovered this weekend during a lesson (non-tgm'er but respected teacher). My ball flight was all over the place - army golf. Left right, etc. By the third hole I am aiming down the...

Brian, I have a lesson this Saturday and was wondering if you have some advice for the pupil on how to take a good lesson. I have not gotten much from lessons in the past (not incl. this Pro) and want to make sure I get the most from it. Not sure if it is me or the pro's that I have seen in the...

I have used either the claw or belly putter the last few years due to an, ahem, over-active right hand. :) I just went to putt at lunch and used a normal grip and concentrated on loading pp3 on the backswing and keeping the pressure on pp3 thru the stroke. While this was not under tournament...

I actually got to hit some balls and chip a little on Friday which allowed me to put your swing lessons to a test, Brian. I was wondering if this feel was correct or not - from the top of my backswing, and with a flat left/bent right, can I just concentrate on dropping that whole unit into the...

The aiming point concept is new to me (along w/ a lot else in TGM) but, after some limited golf time in New England, I am excited about the use of it. I have noticed that a certain shot happens if my aiming point is off, too far forward and a cut vs. too far back a hook. I was wondering if...

Brian, I was hoping to start a folder where we can post some of our current (or ingrained) swing problems and get feedback on things we should try and check to possibly get back on track. My current fault is a pull hook (low trajectory) with the driver as well as a pull with the short irons...

I was hoping someone could provide some more clarity (in laymans terms) to the different types of hinge actions: closed: laid back: closed and laid back: In particular, I am having a hard time understanding "laidback" and what this looks like. I assume (correct me if I am wrong please) that...

Just read this article and got me thinking about how tohit a driver, swing up or hit down? I know this has been discussed and i believe the answer was to hit down like the other clubs, but this article would seem to contradict this. Thoughts? Angle of Attack – Its Role in Optimizing Launch...

Gary Koch hit a shot on SUnday, par 5 lay up, where he basically punched it down the fairway. I thought it was a great swing - good lag, hit down on it. I was wondering if any TGM'ers saw it and could comment on that swing as I thought it had a lot of good things to it.

Harmon was on the Golf Channel last night (he must be coming out w/ an iron graphite shaft as that was what he had in his club) but he showed Stewart Cink and COrey Pavin's new moves under his tutlelage. Cink did look better, but I could not believe the difference in Pavin's swing. COmpletely...

Brian or other TGMer's Could you explain the hip motion in the backswing. Should you try and restrict your hip turn as everyone advocates or can they have some "give" in them as long as you turn into the right leg and don't collapse.

I was hoping for some clarification/affirmation about the pivot. Is the pivot the same as if I crossed my arms across my chest (making an X with each hand on opposite shoulder) and turning back and then turning thru (pivot back, pivot thru). COrrect?

Now that 24inches of snow has fallen, it looks like the clubs are away til March! Any suggestions for drills that can be performed indoors? Thanks

My bad shot, which has diminished since reading this foruma nd adding horizontal hinge and some other things, is a big block cut. Always hit solid so it goes real deep into the woods. I have never been able to find someone to tell me what causes it. Brian, what causes a/my block cut?

I was hoping a TGM'er could explain how you flight the ball differently for hi/low/fades/draws as well as the "stinger"

The following link is to a recent article on what is wrong w/ Mickelson's swing and the feedback from some teaching pro's. What would you advise brian? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/golfonline/news/2003/04/01/phils_ills/

Brian, I was wondering if there are other sports movements - hitting a baseball, tennis forehand, slap shot in hockey (if you southerners no what that is :)), etc - that are good to look at in the TGM mode. thanks

I have been lurking and picking up a few tidbits to try and see if the TGM method would work for me. My game is characterized by weak slices with no power. My contact is weak and my divots point (if I take one) left of target line (way left). My bad shot is a big block cut. I played last night...
