    "Peaking"

    What does it mean to "peak" at the right time? Why is it necessary? I've never understood this.

    Furyk Forward Hands At Address

    Brian I know you don't like it...(I think you said you get a little ill, or something!...lol...)... But you like Jimmy, yes? (skip to 1:00 to see face-on driver) ... I don't push em forward anymore unless I'm trying to hit a draw but...this just caught my eye. What do you think of Furyk?

    That There Guy Has A Dang Good Eye

    What does it mean to have a good eye? Do you know what to look for? Why? Etc. etc. etc. What is it? How can you sharpen this? (carrots, and....?) I am talking about instructors mostly.

    "Tush Line"...

    Is it more important to... 1. Keep the "tush line" the ENTIRE swing? 2. Move to a different position (usually inward in the downswing if anything, I think) and maintain THAT, for however long. (probably provided your path is also OK, that is) 3. Something else. ... I know what I think at...

    Natural Tendencies

    Even with raw or pretty raw beginners...slicers...etc... Do you very often see strong tendencies that you know that golfer likely will be able to stick with well down the road...things you and they can really work with? Or is there a point where those tend to become more visible? I was...

    65 YO Moe Norman

    65 years old he says... 260 yards...with an old small driver...range balls... Looks to be calm conditions. Not bad for a guy everyone says was such a short hitter... Just think it's interesting. Gotta call it like I see it.

    NSA Must Be The Most Under-rated Swing Of All Time

    NSA Must Be The Most Underrated Swing Of All Time I am just figuring out how good it is for draws...through the bag. Who would think adding full roll to twistaway would help a hook. As if rolling it MORE makes me draw it LESS... Man... I may be using a little less inside hand path than in...

    Correlation Between Loading/Release And Plane Angle

    Not sure if this specific question has been answered before...here goes anyway. A few questions to consider: 1. People who have "lots of angle" (i.e. Sergio) tend to be ones that swing on flatter downswing planes, yes? I could be wrong as I am just going off the top of my head...but off the...

    Active Early Hip Turn In The Backswing

    My health has been iffy-er than normal lately, unfortunately, so I haven't been playing much... ...but in the practice I have been DOing, I have had some good success with trying to turn my right hip back as I also initiate movement with my left shoulder. It seems very neglected in modern...

    Chris Couch...

    He seems to be missing a lot of greens with short irons and from good spots on the fairway... I think he was mostly missing right. Is it because he is banging down on his irons too much trying to hit (I presume) a little low fade? Then I think to Kevin Shields who said when he sees people...

    I Never Weighed In On It But...

    I Never Weighed In On It But...Michael Jordan HOF... I just watched Michael Jordan's HOF speech a while ago. (my computer was down when he was being inducted) So many people seem to have reacted negatively to his HOF speech. Brian a long time ago wrote about it. I suppose he was able to...

    Chuck Hiter

    Anyone know anything about this guys golf game? This guy is unreal. If he can hit a golfball solid (and I assume reasonably straight) bouncing on a basketball he must be able to shoot some scores.

    Left Handed Frisbee Throw

    (Many EDITs made...) Brian has referred to it as maybe the best golf swing analogy. (or at least suggested it is a very very good one) Throwing clubs is a good one too while we're on it. Anyhoo though... I have been "imaginary left handed frisbee throwING" (EDIT: while stationary) and while...

    Nicklaus vs. Trevino Finish...

    Trevino has a pretty distinctive finish. So does Nicklaus. They might be opposites. Or at least in a lot of ways they seem to be. If Nicklaus' finish is a 'toss'... Then what is Trevinos? What can we learn from the two different finishes?

    Finally Saw The Karate Kid...

    Brian, If Ben Doyle is Mr. Miyagi...then does that make you Ralph Macchio?? Brian I think it must. Regardless, wax-on/wax-off might be the karate equivalent to Follow The Yellow Brick Road. (or something like that) (y'all both have a nack for using non-golf/karate analogies anyhow) :)...

    Forward Hands At Address

    I've been thinking of this one recently and given DOCW3's recent post this would be a perfect time to ask this question: Brian and co., How often do you teach a player to use forward hands at address? With a neutral grip? I have found mid-body hands difficult to do particularly with shorter...
