    Debate: play great golf without ever thinking about the pivot?

    Can a teacher make all the changes he needs to make on a student's pivot without ever saying a word about the pivot? What if Brian gave his next 100 lessons without ever actively changing someone's pivot (except at address), so all he could change was how his students move his arms and hands...

    E.Molinari on Trackman vs Flightscope

    He tweeted: @DodoMolinari: @TrackManGolf beats @flightscopegolf for accuracy and consistency all day! A radar giving wrong infos, even if once in a while, is not good! @DodoMolinari: @AndrewRiceGolf @TrackManGolf I also tested both Andrew, both side by side and one after the other. There is no...

    Charl Schwartzel

    Seems like he's on fire with his 12 stroke victory at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and 11 stroke victory at the Thailand Golf Champtionship last week. Not a US Open field, but still very impressive. He must be doing something right...

    Timing of tumble part of DNA or easily adjustable?

    If you take 100 novice golfers and taught them the basic set up and let them swing, what percentage would do a late tumble (Nicklaus, Watson, Couples) vs early tumble (Sergio, Fowler, less so Hogan)? Would you say there is a natural inclination for a golfer to time the tumble in a certain way...

    Best ways to lower dynamic loft

    Let's say you have a pretty orthodox looking swing but you think your dynamic loft is a few degrees to high and you want to lower it a bit. Without doing something goofy like tugging, dragging, forcing some arch in left wrist, putting ball way back in stance, etc (which tends to steepen attack...

    taking the grip

    Wondering if you guys prefer taking your grip with the club grounded or with the club more sort of vertically in the air. I find it easier to get my left hand's fingers more 90 degrees to the shaft if I take the grip in the air.

    imagine...

    Imagine if somehow you can get your optimal swing tracked, so it's like running on a railway. Somehow every component of your hands, body and club is guided towards their optimal path. Or you could imagine magnetic forces that somehow guides all your movements to their optimal path. Would you...

    Understanding impact

    Please answer if you are pretty sure of the facts and not speculating. I'm sure this has been discussed before but I still don't quite understand the topic fully. During impact, can the clubface twist open or close? I know the golfer cannot influence the impact dynamics during impact, but I'm...

    difference between ball and no ball

    Let's say you make two exact same swings with a driver. One with a ball, and one without. Would there be a noticeable difference in the look of the swing during or after impact? (obviously there would be no difference before impact by definition).

    Release feel

    By release I mean the area roughly between the last parallel before impact and first parallel afterwards. My question is, for the majority of golfers out there, should they FEEL at release: 1) The right wrist flattening? I think the discussion we've had for the last year basically concluded...

    Driver weight and clubhead speed

    How much does an extra, say, 20g affect your clubhead speed? Does it make a difference whether the extra 20g is in the shaft or clubhead?

    Role of right arm in squaring the face

    What role does the right arm have in squaring the clubface? I'm talking more about right arm straightening rather than wrist rotation. There used to be a belief that force across the shaft will keep the clubface open for longer whereas a more free wheel type of release will close the clubface...
