As many of you know, I entered the Golf Channel Instructor Search Contest a few weeks ago. This was my video submission: <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sHgoUYeBcMM?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen"...

I have communicated back and forth with Dr. Wood in the past week regarding some information passed along to us by Todd Dugan from someone who supposedly use to worked for TaylorMade in "the 90's." Here is brief summarization of what Paul had to say: ex-TM guy: "...the clubface rotates about...

What is Golf Instruction? What should it be? Before I answer these important questions, let's get some facts on the table. Only 11% of all avid golfers—a group that includes those who play a dozen or so rounds a year or more—have taken a lesson in the last three seasons. Ouch! So, what is...

I am very proud of my long-time pupil of ten years, Lindsay Gahm, who as a true freshman, is off to great start as a member of the Indiana University Women's Golf Team. She is 15th in the country in sub-par holes, and will be ranked inside or her previous Golfweek Sagarin Ranking of 92nd...

On, November 2, 2010, I participated in a live video "non-debate" with a golf theorist named Jeff Mann. I will try as hard as I can to stick to the facts here. I wanted to do "conversations" that would humanize the folks behind the screenanmes on the internet. But Jeff wanted a "debate." I...

A forum member asked the question, "Do the shoulders turn perpendicular to the spine or perpendicular to the ground?" Obviously, it is not perpendicular to the ground. But, these days, it seems that EVERY shoulder turn taught is a 90° to the spine at address (rotated), or even steeper (steep)...

Winning is not a sometimes thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and...

After traveling all over the USA in 2010, I am back home in New Orleans, ready for folks to start coming in to see me for... THE MANZELLA SPECIAL: Over the years of having golfers from all over the world travel to see me, either in New Orleans, Louisville, or on of my Tour Stops, my students...

Welome to BrianManzella.com If you have found my site during a search about The Golfing Machine, or are searching about "TGM" after finding us, I would like to explain our position on the work by the late Homer Kelley. Any avid golf swing researcher will run across this book in their search...

I started working with Aaron early this year, and have had some assistance from great friend Tom Ness as well. He has come a long way, and in my opinion, is on his way. <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/16245366?portrait=0" width="640" height="853" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Michael Jacobs and I just found out we have received the funding—both foreign and domestic—for a project the backers have dubbed "Project 168." After speaking to several attendees at the ANTI-SUMMIT, the two groups contacted us, and have requested: A book that explains the ball-club...

I attended the 1st PGA Teaching and Coaching Summit in 1988. I brought Ben Doyle back to his hotel everyday, and we promoted The Golfing Machine to every curious instructor, and defended it to every detractor. Fast forward to the 2006 MIT Better Golf Through Technology—18 years later. Dr...

Anti-Summit I is in the books. We proved that you can have a high-level symposium with a wide-open floor, without any problems. There was some disagreement, but it was usually settled by science. There was some debate, but often it was fun, and everyone learned. I proved that I might be the...

For the Book literalists.... Just market your spin-off as "A way" to play golf based on a book that has a lot of good information in it. Period. Don't say it is the scientific be all and end all. And I'll just wish you luck.

Here we go.... Listen close.... The top of the D-Plane, the TRUE 3D POINT of the clubface—lie angle tool style—is NOT formed at separation... I repeat... The clubface "point" that influences EVERY DAMN SHOT EVER HIT, is NOT formed at separation... Not at separation... Not... I have said...

I'd give it a B. The 1st Annual Brian Manzella Golf Swing Symposium is in the books, and it was a success. The three PHDs had a good time collaborating with each other, and the attendees and the real-world panel all agreed it was a great day. What came of the scientists conclusions? It...

I actually thought of "Cadeus" a few times out there.... I played in my first PGA Section Championship, and my first multi-round tournament in 8 years the past two days at Metairie Country Club, not far from my home in New Orleans. And for a guy who supposedly looks like an old fat man...

I have listened to what a lot of teachers think teaching is all about lately, and I have heard a lot of stuff that is—in my opinion—way out there "in right field." So-to-speak. ;) So, I decided to put up some before and after stills of today's last lesson. He is a 25+ year old ex-pro baseball...
