    Cleveland HiBore XLS

    Since I'm giving up a good bit of yardage playing the driver that I am, I decided to hit one of these while the Cleveland van was at the range. Has anyone here demoed one of these? What did you think? How does it compare to other drivers (particulartly distance)? Thanks

    Practice or Play

    Out of curiosity, I was wondering which (range work or playing rounds), elicits greater improvements in the scores of the members here (assuming that doing both would be optimal). Also, maybe the instructors (or anybody else, for that matter) could weigh in on why they think one would work...

    Long swing and Pivot

    Was messing around at the range, and decided (for no real reason) to let my swing go long (well past parallel). Not only did I hit the ball better, and longer, but my pivot improved. When I stop at parallel, the upper half of my torso tends to tip over toward the target at the top (reverse...

    Shot shape and clubface alignment

    For those of you who have a predominant shot shape, do you set up with the clubface square, or do you set up with it aligned otherwise?

    Some Feedback from Brian

    Played my first round in several months this week, and took a camera with me. I saw some interesting things, and would like to know what you think (sorry, don't have the hardware to transfer the images to the computer yet). First of all, ballflight was a draw, hook, push, or push cut. Nothing...

    Fast hands, slow hands

    Is there a drill to determine whether or not a person has fast hands or slow hands? How can they use this knowledge to aid them in their swing?

    Draw and the fairway wood

    Since I got into the game 7 years ago, I've heard quite a few good players say that if they need to hit a draw, that it's easier to do so with a 3w than a driver. I asked my bro, who plays in the 70's regularly, and he couldn't tell me. Why is it easier with the 3w? On the surface, it seems...

    How Long/How Far To Pull?

    For players that do better accelerating the club by dragging/pulling it during the downswing, how long should you do it? Impact? Both arms straight? Finish??

    Manzella Matrix

    If someone favors one end of the MM, is it unusual for you guys to move them toward the middle of the matrix to fix their swing, without moving them to the other end first? In what circumstances would you go straight to the middle, as opposed to the other end?

    Something I've been working on

    I've been doing some experimentation on my own, trying to improve my swing. Here are some of the things that I've been kicking around; nothing new, but verification for me personally. Please tell me what you think: 1. Feel will kill you everytime, unless you can confirm the "real" that it...

    Question about "Up, back, and in"

    Okay. I was working on getting my swing on plane recently, and it seemed that I needed to go a little higher with my arms than I had been recently (I had gotten them too flat). As a matter of fact, an on plane swing feels like my arms are just lifting straight up right off of the ball. My...

    Tiger's Posture

    I've always noticed that Tiger's body position at adress with the driver is very upright, with a very flat shoulder turn. Of course, he's more bent over with the irons, with his arms a little bit flatter (in relation to his shoulders, not the ground). What I also noticed is that his driver...

    Right elbow position

    Which position makes it easier to achieve a deep-into-the-downswing pitch elbow position: 1. Trail elbow close to the body at the top of the backswing or 2. Trail elbow farther away from the body at the top of the backswing and why?

    Flat(ter) Armswing

    I've noticed that a lot of players these days either have, or are trending towards, flatter arm swings, particularly at the top. What do you think the instructors and/or players are trying to accomplish in doing this? What is the percieved benefit?

    Overlap Grip

    I noticed in TGM that the grip used in most of the patterns is the overlap. Is there any particular reason for this, as opposed to the interlock?

    Inside aft and swinging left

    Looking at the inside aft quadrant helps a lot with my pivot issues, but I believe I have a tendency to swing too far right with it and it leads to a lot of pushes and hooks. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to marry these two concepts?

    Swinging left?

    I once read a quote attributed to Sam Snead, and also heard Bob Toski (I think) say that said that a perfectly straight shot felt like a cut. Anyone have this experience, and is this what swinging left is supposed to feel like through the ball?
