    Tilt and hip motion affecting PATH, etc...

    Brian, My long-time go-to move in the downswing has been "left shoulder up." I like it because it is easy, works well, and adds power. I feel I may be overdoing it (or at least missing something else) but am unsure. Even though NHA worked wonders for me, I assume this is why I may have had...

    Nicklaus...I just thought this deserved its own thread...

    That first swing excites me when I watch it... Same with the one at about 36 seconds.

    Who's Watching The Golf Fix??

    That bunker lesson was.....eek...!! But he knew how to rile up the crowd and student when he was losing them... PS I'm not talking about Breed...he has his moments good and bad. (and seems less abrasive now) Actually, from what I've seen...it seems now like he isn't overdoing the yelling...

    The Tumble Definition

    Is it because the clubhead "tumbles" (from the top) down the face of the plane as if it is coming over the top of a hill. (down the line view) ??

    Feel ("Play By Feel")

    People throw this around a lot. I guess that is the nature of feel in some ways. It can be personal...non-conscious...vague...intuitive...spontaneous...etc. I suppose this is larely why it is useful. Homer Kelly sez: "Feel is the body's equivalent to structuring." Makes sense to me. (as a...

    Teaching Style

    Brian... How did you teach as a T.A.? How did that change and at what time did that change? I thought this was interesting and deserved even a quick explaination.

    Why was the Mitsubishi Golf Swing Analyzer inaccurate?

    Any idea why? (in retrospect) D-Plane something or other? You used to think it was due to TGM impact/seperation.

    Hogan, Norman etc...Seriously.

    Seriously. How did they hit it so good, like people always say...? To me this question just hangs over golf. If it is learned, then I guess no one really knows. If it is innate, then no one can do it (yet) but whoever can may be out there. Now that I have covered both extremes...

    Matrix Discussion

    Hasn't come up in a while. "The Matrix." Come up with any new principles Brian? Safe to say still that it's a good idea to work towards The Middle and a straight ballflight? (after bouncing from side to side for as long as you need to learn what you learn from doing so) Does "working...

    Swing The ClubHEAD?

    Is swinging the clubHEAD and monitoring the clubFACE really such a bad thing for everyone in our Post-D-Plane Era? (The D-Plane Literacy Era) "Put the clubFACE on the ball." -unknown, and self-mastery (R.I.P.?)

    Left Wrist Action

    Long-term Single Left Wrist Action (TGM Term) usage. How many: 1. Of your students use it Brian? 2. Tour players past and present. Strong and neutral grips. Lots of twistaway or not.

    Chirpiddy Churp Churp Chirpin Chirpers (Big Mouths)

    Chirpiddy Chirpin Chirpers (Big Mouths) Everyone must know one of these. The guy who you need to beat but dread playing with. Because he will not shut up. Maybe even when you are over the ball. I have no problem with some of this but everyone must know someone who does cross the line. No...

    Across The Line Advocation

    Anyone at all teaching this much these days beside our host? (some of the time as we know) I can't think of anyone ever but surely there are some. ( I don't have so many golf books) Maybe it was "in vogue" when people had no (or less) video.

    Forward Leaners

    (Mostly for Brian but anyone with know-how can chime in...) You have talked about people who have the club up the left arm a long time past impact... The Trevinos, Boo Weekleys, and whoever else. Can you talk some about these kind of players and also how you handle them?

    Where does it fit in these days Brian? You are teaching a lot less of it, yes?

    Swing Alterations Throughout The Bag And For Different Shots

    Brian... How much do you think a players swing should change throughout the bag or depending on the shot... I would think it depends on the player but I now have to think that if you are into hitting shots there is gonna come a time where you are gonna have to deviate a fair bit to hit a shot...

    Brian How's ET?

    How's it going in there? You have always been on your own somewhat... From the "outside", you have said things about teaching where you have an unlimited supply. How about an "inside" update? Do the members appreciate what you are capable of? Do you think they are aware or are becoming...
