The twist away has worked wonders for my iron game, but I am hooking the crap out of the ball with my driver. Any suggestions? Is this typical and should only be used for irons. My old iron swing miss was thin, weak fades. With the twist away I am hitting a very solid slight draw. My driver...

For some reason when I start my swing from the half way back position, I can hit the ball very well. From this position it feels as though I just turn my shoulders back and through and I finally feel the sensation of hitting the ball with the back of my left hand. The ball has a nice little...

1) chipping/pitching - one handed right hand chips and pitches are perfect. When I add the left hand - shanks galore. Only way I can stop shanking is to set up with the ball on the toe. I don't have to do this with the one hand chip - so I must be doing something differently. 2) full swing -...

I was at the range hitting balls with just my right hand and it was the first time I really felt lagging and correct pressure on pp3. However, I was not able to duplicate this when I added my left hand???? I lost the lag, no pressure on pp3, and I had my usual difficulty with balance. I am...

I was doing a Manzella drill with my driver whereby I teed the ball a few inches in front of my front foot (towards the target). From this ball position I was trying to exaggerate a forward hand position at impact. The problem is I was able to hit the ball MUCH more solidly and further from...

I tried the right forearm takeaway this weekend and I have 2 questions. First, my playing partners said it looked like my takeaway was too flat or laid off. Second, I did not feel wound up like a normally due with my old takeaway which was more of a shoulder turn takeaway. Any ideas what I...

Can someone explain this concept to me? Is it referring to pp#3 or my forearm? I have heard it explained both ways and I am a little (or a lot) confused.

I have an unusual problem that I hope someone can help me with. When I try to make a large pivot on my backswing, I can't see the ball. I am left-handed and left eye dominant. When I make this large shoulder turn, I can only see the ball with my right eye. Has anyone else had this problem...

I am a swinger and I am incorporating Brian's twist away move which does keep my left wrist flat at the top of my backswing. However, I can't seem to be able to "twist away" and rotate my forearms. Being a swinger, will I get into trouble by not rotating my forearms on the backswing? My...

I am having some balance issues. On my backswing I seem to be getting my weight onto the toes of both feet and my head moves towards the ball. If I start my swing from with the club parallel to the ground and just turn my shoulders back, I am much more balanced and I hit pretty well. Any...

Will it be a problem understanding Brian's tapes if I hadn't read Homer's book?

I recently stumbled accross this very enlightening forum. After years of lessons, videos, and book reading (not Homer), I still reverse pivot. When my timing is on, I can shoot in the high 70's or low 80's. When my timing is off - add 10+ strokes. I don't think I have the cranial capacity...
