    club length as it relates to divots?

    i have a question on the fit of my clubs as it may relate to ballstriking. i have slightly longer armlengh for my body, but use standard length clubs. still fall within that range. problem is that i have a hard time hitting ball first, then divot afterwards. i think my pivot is decent but...

    driver upshooting

    played in a scramble the other day, (and i know partly due to trying to be more aggressive) with my driver i tended to upshoot the shot with a very high trajectory. didn't feel i was driving through and found myself prob. staying back a bit. anyone have any drills that will give me a more...

    Driver tee height question

    i have a driver question. when i tee the ball up with a pretty 'standard' tee height, my tendency is to hit the ball a tad thin---on the lower part of the face. when i tee it up an additional 3/4 inch or so, it is SO much better. i know the easy answer is to just tee it higher, but why or...

    driver pull/fade---irons straight??

    i've previously had a problem with hooking my irons. now they're pretty straight. took the nha approach as i was swinging way to the right. but with my driver i have a tendency to pull a bit, as well as having a slight tail to the right. i've thought of getting the never slice again but is...

    Throwing the drunk off

    Brian: I keep hearing the throw the drunk off your back thought several times. i have a decent idea what you are talking about, but if you could do a quick video snip of it many of us would understand and SEE exactly what you are referring to. would thinking of this be a good key or thought...

    if anyone has a single key thought, or manzella-ism that serves as a key thought, please give it here and why it has helped you. things like 'throw the monkey off your back', etc.... i get a bit confused with some of the tgm terms, so i want to keep things simple. thanks,

    Brian: Is there a way you could post up some video of Michael Finney's swing? I do a search and only see the one of him hitting a driver. I feel i can watch and pick up things by seeing the visuals. Thanks.

    Aiming point ahead of ball?

    if anything, i have a tendency not to hit the ball first, and then make the divot. sometimes i'll contact the ground just a fraction before the ball, others perhaps catching it a bit on the upswing. i've found that if i focus and tell myself to swing to a spot just in front of the ball my...

    role of Left Arm in swinging

    My question concerns the left arm in a swingers motion. Should it be connected to the chest during the downswing? I've heard where the left arm 'blasts off' and not sure what this means exactly. i take it that through a hard pivot it will eventually leave or be thrown out. Please clarify...

    pitching question

    ok, i've come to believe that swinging may be best for me, but have a question on the pitch. from what little i gather, to me it is getting the right elbow more into the center of my body rather than hanging back on the hip. now here is where my question comes in. on the downswing, should...
