i was viewing one of brian's lessons on youtube and caught a part where he was telling a student to try the "storke drill". i messed around with few shots myself and actually found myself hitting the ball extremely well and clean. what is the purpose of this drill and what does it help the...

here are a couple links to youtube of a buddy's swing. he has a bit of a problem with his left knee do to surgery and has trouble putting a lot of weight/torgue on it. any comments, suggestions, anything that i can tell him to work on? i know he doesn't have a great pivot and not a lot of...

where should the shoulders be at impact? are they to be paralel to the target line? i've heard this somewhere, andthen immed. after they go left. can someone clarify this for me?

Brian: I know you like the swing and have very good things to say about Greg McHatton. I love how smooth his swing is and how he really gets that long flat divot. I have a video of his and the visualization helps me. But is there anything that he says or does that you would perhaps change...

i seem to have my left knee move somewhat back during my backswing. should the left knee(for a right handed player) move more towards the ball rather than back to my right foot?

i find that i do not pivot through the forward swing enough and do not rotate my hips enough. sometimes as though my hips look pretty much square to just slightly open. would it hurt to somewhat pre-set my hip just slightly open to get a head start and hopefully get a better pivot? what...

i still have a habit in my backswing of taking it to the inside too quickly and i lose the 'up' part of my backswing. i know it's been said to just take it straight back, but in doing so it seems as if it is going to the outside. when i go to the inside it does make it hard to drop the club...

brian and others: what is your view of the popular "pump drill" where you take your backswing and make one partial move to the ball, then a second, and then the third go through and finish the swing? is this a productive thought or drill to use, and if so, what are its main benefits? thanks

is there a preferred grip that when viewing from down shows a certain number of knuckles, or does it vary? would changing how the hand is positioned change the lowpoint in the swing? i nomally don't see any knuckles and i seem to bottom out before the ball slightly, and either hit slightly...

i have a quick question regarding the left knee(for a right handed player). should the knee be somewhat 'in' throughout the swing? i have a habit i think to get the knee somewhat straight and the kneww crosses my toe line toward the target on the downswing. if this is correct, what keys...

i've heard the term 'throw the javelin' or something to that effect at the ball or aiming point. can someone describe this a little more? i'm still plagued by hitting just slightly fat and have tried many things. would taking the butt end of the club and getting that to go just forward of...

does anyone have any ''a-ha" thoughts that just seemed to click with you in fixing a problem or keying in on a swing thought or idea? would like to hear the problem, and then what was the remedy that just 'worked' for you.

what would you say is the correct sequence to the golf swing, especially downswing? is it a start with a bump, shoulders, arms, etc? what exactly happens first, second, or whatever? also, i hear to keep the right shoulder back from some. what if anything does this do, or should it be a...

I feel and have been told that I swing under plane. I understand it for the most part, but don't understand why I do it, or how to fix it. I read all about making sure i have axis tilt. Can this cause my right shoulder just to dip down and cause swinging under plane? thanks

here's my dilemna with my driver: if i tee it a bit low or even at the suggested tee height, i apparently come down a bit steeper on it and it gives me a higher spinning shot with little rollout. now when i tee it with an exagerated tee height of around 3.5 to 4 inches, i get a great trajectory...

Is there any updates on the release of the 'Friends' video? not sure if it's been asked or answered yet. thanks

here are a couple swings of mine i put on you tube. i know my tempo is a bit quick, but please give other useful comments on what i can work on. i'd like to have a swing like michael finney, so anything to work on that goal would be appreciated. http://youtube.com/watch?v=uiYgEIQbbjU

i have a question involving the traditional horizontal hinging. not sure if i do it incorrectly or not. is this something you would intentionally try to do? sometimes i have the feeling as if i come through the ball with vertical hinging, as if i am just trying to take a half swing into the...

i just rec'd nsa and really like it. it explains many of the items brian talks about during his commentary and answers here. one area i have a problem at is the swivel and how to get it there. i have no problems with all the other items leading up to it. does the swivel just happen, or is...

i've heard of the right forearm as being a key in the swing. at address, are you supposed to have the right forearm and shaft in a line(as in the flying wedges)? i see this to some degree in pictues, but this months issue of golf digest shows ernie els(with driver) as havign the shaft well...
