    Looking for a thread...

    It's the one on low point where Brian alters a picture of I think Ben Hogan a few times. He drew a bunch of different colour lines on it.....to scale.....to represent his club, his arms, etc. It was something mandrin had a big (maybe key) part in and I think it was to show that you could have...

    Straigth Right Arm At Impact?

    Straight Right Arm At Impact? Brian my right arm appears to be straight at impact. Though I do need better slow-mo video, I'm pretty sure that it more or less is (straight) anyway. Anyhoo....... 1. Why? 2. Is this a big deal? I presume not because Moe Norman, JB Holmes, Els, and Bobby...

    Downswing is ACTUALLY initiated by...

    ...what exactly? I know you have said it's a step on the left foot.............but............ .......how? Is it done by: -a push off the right leg (actually using the right leg muscles) shifting weight -a hip slide (I can move my hips independently of my legs that's for sure) shifting...

    Nicklaus Sez:

    Sez: "Learn to hit it hard first. Learn control later." Brian also just talked about something similar that Hogan I guess said. I know you can mask a lot of things with good timing. Discus.....

    Chosen Ones

    Brian........... I was just trying to to swing left handed (at work like a bozo)......which is very awkward BTW.......... (As a side story- I think I am gonna try to teach myself to play some as a lefty. I'm not 100% sure how I'm gonna go about "teaching myself" yet- haven't hit many lefty...

    Club Weighting

    I have a lot of thoughts on this........ But I haven't yet tested things in this area as much as I want to....... ......thus these thoughts are more like random ideas....theories......etc. I figured I would start a topic and see what happens. I am talking about: -swing weight vs. total...

    Video Editing Software

    Anyone have any suggestions? I want to be able to do multiple file types......Quicktime, MPEG, etc. etc. all the common ones anyway. I need something to edit videos....mostly to just edit length and combine separate videos into one.

    Maltby Playability Factor

    What's the deal with this? Anyone know enough to vouch for it's accuracy? I found it very interesting that PING's S58 is ranked as a "Super Game Improvement" and ranked MORE playable than the i5. Also interesting that it seems to have a fairly low MOI. I thought that was supposed to be a big...

    Arched Left Wrist at the Top ala Trevino

    How many golfers do you find need to control the clubface this way? Arched at the top is almost always ignored by almost everyone as a way to play good golf............. (not like that in itself is gonna stop me but I find it an interesting observation anyway)......... I can't seem to play...

    Durable Irons

    I need new irons baaaad. Mine are about 5 years old and are dinged up like crazy and the chrome is coming off a few clubs. (no jokes about hitting from the junk please ;)) I do not want forged irons this time around. I want something durable and I don't think forged makes much of a difference...

    Putting Grips

    How many of you use a neutral (vertical left wrist) grip with putting? I usually do. I'm just curious cause I can't seem to make a stronger one feel natural AT ALL. I'm not sure if it has to do with it not fitting on a pistol grip (flat sides) well or what. I'm screwing with a stronger grip...

    Uneven Tees

    Saw something on TV about a guy (can't remember who but I think he was fairly well-known) designing a course with some uneven tees. i.e. ball above feet....ball below feet.........playing from uneven lies. What do y'all think of this? Is it your right to be granted a perfectly even lie on...

    Sweep Release vs. Flip

    Cool cool......Weiskopf is close too I think eh? Not many frames in that pic but it ain't Snap (very late) that's for sure. I have ideas.....but what to look for on differences between a flip and a Sweep Release then?

    How Hard IS The Golf Swing On The Body?

    I am feeling more like a rickety old man everyday. When I move my shoulders or turn my neck or correct my posture I hear a strange crackly sound. (worth noting also that left side is worse in both neck and shoulder) I am also stupid though and often don't/didn't stretch. I now am going to be...

    NHA- Why fix plane line first?

    You talked about this a while back.....could not find thread. Why plane before clubface? (as in NSA) Does it have to do with shanking???
