What type of release will be ALWAYS square to the path in 3-D ? Cheers

I am currently reading one of old Cotton books, the one named 'This Game of Golf'. Lot's of great pics and wisdom there from one of the greatest golf swing theorists ever -- but I would like to bring some quotes that, first, validates latest Project 1.68's conclusions and, second, share some...

Gents, Since another thread with my participation and discussion about ballstriking/Hogan has been locked again, I would like to say a few things: 1. I do not know why it is so hard to understand that argumentation is valid when supported by facts; 2. I do not know why some people on this...

Johnny Miller Previews 2012 U.S. Open at Olympic Club | Golf Channel On evolving U.S. Open setups: “The only thing that players have in their favor, if you call it favor, is the rough is not like the rough was in my era. These new players, they have no idea what U.S. Open rough was. You look at...

I wonder why...? It seems totally counterintuitive and against common sense. Usually, I'd let such a comment pass quickly, but if you say so -- it must be interesting why. Cheers

Hi there, I wonder how many people play with steel shafts also in their drivers, woods and hybrids. Comments are much welcomed. Cheers

The whole mess with "going normal" and "new release" made me think. When I asked a few years ago why straightening the rear wrist/bending the lead one is not regarded as 5th accumulator (using TGM archaic language) - either my question regarded unanswered or ridiculed. Same when I tried to...

LOL. Here we go... I can say only, that I was always informed (mainly by my golfing buddies who travelled to the States and played golf there) that the difference should be counted to around 3-5 index points on the average. OTOH, I had pleasure to play with a few golfers both from the States as...

Yes. A machine would produce a slight hook because the axis of rotation is inside the tool. Simple physics. Hogan's answer to O'Meara (described in Haney's book may be an eye-opener for some). No. Hogan is not esteemed as hook-tamer. He was much more than that and comparing Woods to him is...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ! I would like to pass my best wishes to everyone whom I have met personally or virtually during my golf days. Therefore, taking this opportunity I would like to ask to forgive me for my being unfair, rude, malicious and plain stupid and, simultaneously, I...

Brian, there are a lot of myths and various opinions when talking about the reconnection of the rear upper part of the arm to the main body during/after transition. I would like to know YOUR EXPLANATION how it happens and what are the most common culprits of not sufficient or too late...

Gents, As promised, I will try to describe the three release types created by Mr.Cotton long ago; although it's a pretty old classification, it's still the best for an odrinary player to understand the differences, IMHO. It's enough to classify them depending on what happens with the clubface...

Brian & all: Why does the spine angle loss cause both thin and fat shots ? Logically, standing up during downswing should create only thin shots... And second question, related to this one - why the spine angle during downswing should increase and it does not lead to fat shots ? what's the...

Brian, Gents: I apologize if this subject have already been covered on the Forum My question is - I have noticed that it's difficult for me to maintain a good contact between my left thumb and the lifeline inside my right hand at the top. It literally feels as I am able to cock my left wrist...

Brian, Gents: I have a question. Sorry if it is naive for most of you, but I want it clear. #1 PP is using the heel of the right hand where it touches either the left hand thumb; #2 PP is using the last three fingers of the left hand; #3 PP is the first joint of the right hand trigger index...

Brian, Gents, Could someone describe what exactly is shear (shearing) force in the golf swing ? Cheers

Hello Brian & all, Another question of the grip. I've heard recently that e.g. Snead said that one of the very crucial things in a correct grip is the firm grasp of three last fingers of the leading hand. Is it true ? And if yes...does that mean that we should grip the club hard by those 3...

Brian, What is the importance of Shaft Plane Line established at address ? Is it more or less important (as checkpoints if a golfer is on plane during the whole swing) than the Elbow Plane Line ? Or maybe both are important but serve for various purposes ? Thanks in advance for your answer. :)

What is the best drill and/or swing thought to learn to retract the left arm elbow after impact and obtain a full extension of the right arm in order to promote more in-to-in swing pattern ? Thanks & cheers

Brian, I have an important question - just for you. Yellow line represents the position of the hands in relation to the ear, red line represents clubshaft and forearm. This is a nice impact position of Mr.Snead with rear forearm on perfectly parallel plane with the shaft: This is a not so...
