As far as the clubface is concerned, does a strong grip effectively do the same thing as twistaway with a more neutral grip? Are there benefits besides clubface control that the twistaway offers that you can't get from having a strong grip? How does one affect the swing differently than...

Ideal may or may not be a no-shift ,that's another question for another time), but which is better, using a TSP downswing as an example: -a backswing above plane, dropping to the TSP for the downswing? or -a backswing starting below plane, moving up to the TSP for the downswing? What are the...

For the instructors here: How often do you come across either too much axis tilt, or a right shoulder moving toward impact underplane? What are some of the problems associated with this?

Brian, weren't you tossing around an idea about doing a long-distance lesson type of thing a while ago? Is that still in the works, or have you dropped it for the moment?

1. What is the difference in having establishing the correct amount of axis tilt during the swing, and having that axis tilt present at set-up? 2. If either one is acceptable, what are the pros and cons of each method of achieving axis tilt?

I have a golf lesson on Saturday (actually, it's my first real lesson. Any advice on preparation, as well as the types of things I should be asking?

For years, you hear about people eliminating the left side of the course. Why the left side? Why do you rarely hear anyone speak of eliminating the right side (except for a lefty)? And don't tell me about Lee Buck's saying, either, lol! Besides the stopping ability of the fade; - What are...

A lot of time is spent on TGM forums talking about proper alignments, geometry, etc. And rightly so; we're all trying to get better. But what are some of you favorite swing characteristics? -I love John Daly's position at the top of the swing...

Does anyone here have or know of anyone who has a low maintenance swing? I'm referring to people who only play a few times a year, don't go to the range, and then go to the course and shoot in the 70's, or low 80's at most. My father and brother are like this. Neither has been playing 10...

Posted this on another site as well (I need all the help I can get). Is it necessary to give up yardage in order to gain consistency or accuracy? I'm not talking about swinging easy vs. swinging hard. As a high handicapper whose also pretty long, I wonder if making swing changes geared toward...

Since it's so hard to hit a straight shot, why not teach people to move the ball one way or the other as a tee shot strategy, eliminating one side of the hole? From a theoretical standpoint, it seems to make more sense to me; if hitting a straight shot is the hardest thing to do (impossible...

Would a more bent-over posture make it easier to get the right shoulder downplane than a more upright posture? It seems like it should (to me, anyway). Any insights?

I'm really starting to get serious about wanting to improve my game, but practice, play, and lessons on a consistent basis cost a decent amount of money, which I don't currently have available. My current budget is about $20 every 2 weeks (seriously). Any creative ideas for improvement on a...

I don't mean real, literal throwaway. But has anyone had the experience of making a good swing, with good impact conditions and good lag, that felt like throwaway? Or at least, what you thought throwaway would feel like? I get the feeling that I'm hanging on to long in order to get my hands...

Out of curiosity, why do players always speak of eliminating the left side when they discuss taking one side of the course out of play? I never hear of people being advised to elimitate the right side of the course with a draw. Is a draw really that much more temperamental than a fade, or is...

Okay... If you had to err in one direction or the other, which is more preferable, standing closer to the ball, or further? How do they influence contact, ball flight, etc.?

I don't know if this has been discussed here, but what are you guys' opinions on this driver-wedge, who-cares-about-fairways brand of golf that we're seeing being utilized by the long hitters on tour? And to the instructors on the board, would you recommend this style of play to amateurs or...

I've been doing a lot of mirror drills, and I've noticed that I'm laid off at the top of the swing, with the club at parallel. What are the potential problems I could run into with this position?

Is there something inherently wrong with a past-parallel backswing, particularly if you are a swinger?

Can anyone give me some ideas on how to increase my clubhead speed? I'm already long, but I'm fairly sure that's due mostly to the fact that I'm 6'3" and 430 (not a typo), with a big shoulder turn. But I want to know how I can create more speed with the swing itself. I've seen first hand how...
