We had another thread on this that went sideways...here is another try...with a certain person on the sidelines... The following are two of the findings in our Project 1.68 study. • The path of the "grip point" (identified as the point on the grip underneath the overlap location of the hands)...

The PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit is this coming Monday and Tuesday in Orlando, Florida, at the Faldo Institute. Golf Magazine and their Top 100 teachers are presenting the Breakout Sessions on Monday, just after lunch is served. I'll be in station #1. If you are attending, please come by to...

I remember the day I came home from work to tell my Dad that I had finally figured out what I was going to do with my life. "I am going to teach golf. It is the only business where I can start in the middle." As true as that statement was, getting through the top half of the draw has been quite...

As the day of the new site going up draws a little closer, I think that we should take straw poll on the questions that should be answered for anyone who comes to the new site without any background on me, or the site. Here are a few to get us started: Why do you teach clubface first on a...

Here is what folks call the "Geometry of The Circle": I have often said that it is a VERY inaccurate representation of the golf swing. It is. Below is one I did this morning for fun. Only one problem, it isn't correct either. The center of the shoulder turn (middle of the balck circle)...

I am kicking off my 2011 travel teaching schedule with two January Manzella "Tour Stops" in Florida. A "Tour Stop" is simply one-on-one private lessons with myself, my Casio camera, and my little orange friend, TrackMan, on the road, in cities across the USA and perhaps later this year, Europe...

Today I saw “The King’s Speech,” a film staring Colin Firth as a stutterer who would be king of England and Geoffrey Rush as his speech therapist Lionel Logue. It should be required viewing of everyone on earth who wants to be a golf teacher. Or any kind of one-on-one teacher. There were so...

As we continue to research Project 1.68, we will be spending some more time with 3D and the whole of Biomechanics. Mike Finney and Jon Hardesty spent some time with Chris Welch this year in Louisville, we had Rob Neal at the ANTI-SUMMIT and plan to spend more time with him, and Damon Lucas is...

I'd like to acknowledge the folks that helped me get to this point... My Dad knew they had to be real answers, told me I would be the best in the world at something, and was a world-class story teller, and treated everyone as equals except for his elders, who he treated with the utmost respect...
