    2 Hours with Brian today

    Had a great lesson in Louisville today with the man. First, why I went. I've actually been scoring pretty well(mid and some low 70's) but I always feel like it's "fake". I mean I don't really hit what I would call solid shots. I have been hitting the driver well but then just skank something on...

    Trouble taking divots and swinging too far to the right

    Do you guys think these go hand in hand? When I try to hit a cut contact seems to be more solid with better divots. Better plane line I assume?

    Does everybody here lag the sweetspot? (with Brian Manzella Video Answer)

    I think this is probably the single biggest thing that helped my swing and it took along time to figure out on my own what it feels like. When I first learned how it was the sweetest most pure sensation I'd ever had hitting balls. It's like you can feel it through that trigger finger up into...

    Weight on front foot?

    Say I read something that suggested I keep my weight on my front foot and tried it and hit the ball further and far more solid than before what might that tell me about my current swing? Possibly I wasn't getting to my left side enough before?

    A Manzella First-A Video Question

    Brian's 100-word Pivot description and S.S. meters don't lie

Now as far as my swing...

    Right leg pushing?

    I was thinking about my hip turn today and realized when I start my downswing I kind of use the straightening of the left leg to turn my hips. Should I be pushing with the right leg to power my hip action?

    Really neat thread(non-instruction)

    This was on another forum and thought it was pretty cool: OK, here's the deal. You meet Tiger on the 1st tee of a PGA Tour course. He wants to play a nassau --- How many shots should you get? (Before reading further, pick a number you think would be fair). * * * * * * * If Tiger Woods...

    Open shoulders sooner?

    I've noticed Brian saying you need to open your shoulders sooner for some people that swing to far to the right. Well me being one of those people, I've been trying it but can't seem to open them enough. My hips bump and turn first but for some reason my arms start swinging. Should you feel that...

    Pressure points from the top

    Just wondering what some of you feel in the hands on the way down. I tend to put a little to much pressure on the right forefinger which gets the club vertical at the start of the downswing which makes the clubhead go underplane coming into impact. Tonight I tried just pulling with the last...

    Which is best?

    Red line is path of clubhead and white is elbow plane. Which is best or does it not matter because of parrallax?

    Are these straight plane lines?

    First of all these are Dorns images and I hope he doesn't mind that I used them but I'm trying to learn something. Now, I thought tracing a straight plane line meant the handle or clubhead end always traced the target line except when parallel of each other but then I see pictures like this...

    Hip action on the backswing

    A little or a lot? I know the X-factor wants to limit hip rotation although I was thinking about the book search for a perfect swing and the sequence of mantained tension. If the spring A is the hips, spring b the torso and shoulders and spring 3 the arms and club. Wouldn't we want spring a...

    definition please"getting stuck"

    We've all heard it a thousand times and mostly about Tiger but I never really understood what it meant exactly.Is it when the body outraces the arms? I'm sure theres even different thoughts of what it means and what causes it so lets here it.

    Interesting research article

    I posted this in the Tiger thread but seemed to get overlooked. A good read for swing junkies.http://www.jssm.org/vol4/n4/18/v4n4-18pdf.pdf

    Brian, in video 4 you mention video cameras and I wondered what spec to look for to minimize blurring during pause and frame advance?
