Booooom! Had a great day at the range today and thought I'd post an impact capture. A little flippy on some of the not so great shots, but the good shots were just solid. Gotta get that flip to stop creeping in... grrrrr... Even the driver was working today! :D <a...

Question about swing tempo and it's affect on the pivot. I have recently noticed that my swing has slowed considerably because I am focusing so much on "making the right movements", and I wonder if it might be causing some of my problems regarding flipping, too much in-out path, closed clubface...

Well, I have come to the point of understanding what I do in my swing, but not how to actually fix it. I take the club back severely closed and inside (the result of practice too much twist away type waggles) and return the club to the ball with far too much forward lean (the result of...

Well, curiosity killed the cat. Finally finished building a custom long putter for use putting sidesaddle (a la Sam Snead). Photos of the finished product... http://pbckt.com/sY.dNDT Early tests show making short putts with this thing are so simple, it's stupid.

Something that has been bouncing around in my mind for a while now. Ben Hogan's clubs were apparently: 1) Flat lies 2) Open faces (even more so with the driver) 3) Large grips with heavy reminder Has anyone recreated his clubspecs and tried hitting them? Did his swing combined with the club...

Well, it's raining here today, so to get my golf fix I stopped at Golf Galaxy on the way home just to check the used club rack and hit a few on the simulator. Still been struggling with a massive hook, the result of a 9-12 degree in-out path and closed clubface. The path is pretty consistent...

This one took me by suprise... New generation of tour stars should focus more on instincts and less on video - Tours & News - Golf.com A ray of sunshine in an otherwise clouded world.

Just curious, what's the opinion here on breaking the knees at the target in the downswing pivot (lee trevino, jack nicklaus, johnny miller, ben hogan type movement)? Doesn't seem like something that is really taught anymore. Who is it useful for? Any particular swing problems it can help...

Watching that S&T interview made me realize something... Had I never discovered this site, I may have well bought into the entire thing. Hook, line, and sinker. As an engineer, this site appeals to me so much, since you take a truly scientific look at the golf swing, then reduce it to...

Ok, so we all know the detriments of misaligned and misused 2D video. So how should it be used? Is there a view that would be particularly useful? My dad had the idea recently to setup a camera on a PVC stand that could take overhead video. This way you could actually watch the clubhead path...

Can anyone recommend a high-speed HD videocamera suitable for recording swings in slow motion? I don't want to spend a huge amount, but would like to add an HD video camera to my collection of toys. Thanks!

Hey everyone, Still struggling with that hook. Too much in-out and underplane shallow. Taking divots with the driver is fun! ... yeah.. right. Anyways, working at the range yesterday I was having a really hard time taking divots as usual (shallow approach will do that to ya). I suddenly...

How does one avoid misaligning the clubface or adding torque to the club when adding the right hand to the grip? I think this is the chief cause of my recent hook problems with a closed face (besides also coming too much in-out, although that could be connected to the grip as well). When I take...

In a lagging clubhead takeaway, does the body pull or push the club away from the ball (through the hands)? Reason I ask, is that they seem to produce totally different feels. The pull sensation seems to cause a lot of whip, but poor control on the transition and a more in-out path. The push...

Anyone know a good TGM instructor in San Antonio, TX? Looking for a new golf teacher. Thanks!

I was watching a video on youtube this weekend where Canadian instructor Shawn Clement talked about grip efficacy and the need to maintain constant sense of the hands and their position on the grip throughout the swing. I've never given this much thought. I suppose I just set my hands on the...

Brian, After watching a few of your youtube videos, I finally get the idea of how all good players use some amount of twist away to turn the sweetspot off the plane and into the ball for impact. This, for me, has really been the missing ingredient when it comes to hitting solid iron shots...

What are the recommended fixes for someone who gets their hands too far ahead of the ball too fast, and as a result either leaves it open and shanks it (way in-out), or hoods it over and smother hooks it? Having problems with this lately. I'm curious how to get the path straightened out with...

Simple question: If a golfer's hands aren't "meaty" enough in the heel pad to really prop the club up (a la Hogan), should the club be placed more in the fingers or more in the palm? Yes, we're talking about my hands here. I thought it should be more in the fingers, but now I think the palm is...

Watching a really good college player at the range yesterday got me thinking about something. This young man's swing was a copy of Raymond Floyd. Way inside, lift, toss through the ball. Hit a slinging draw. Very consistent. This got me really thinking about the loop direction. I've always...
