Brian Manzella! First thing I want to say is super nice guy. Me and my father both got lessons and turns out he was too flat and I was too upright. I've been working on the things he told me and in a couple days I've already got all my distance back that I had lost and even gained some not to...

You know that ultra sweet feeling of flushing the ball? The kind of strike where you can hear the backspin and it just feels so sweet? My question is, is this feeling possible with throwaway or MUST there be a straight line from the left shoulder all the way down to the ball?

Okay, I watched flipper and loved it and I'm now hitting my clubs even longer and more solid. Gained a solid 15 yards with my driver on the first day but now for the second day. I pulling my irons and hitting fades or even slices with my driver. With my irons ball starts a little left and stays...

I've been hitting the ball great since joining here and had a personnel best 74 (on a 74.0/135)3 weeks ago then had a week off due to weather but kept swinging in the garage. Then last week I fire a 85 and yesterday a big 89 and was totally frustrated. Every thing was low and on the toe and...

I have a close friend that started about a year ago and I told him he should get lessons which he did and still does. The problem is that I now know a little about the swing and realize that he's getting some bad info. The instuctor used to teach at a Nicklaus/Flick school so he thinks he's god...

This comes up in the thread that won't go away but I wanted everybody to see this. Can a softer flex launch the ball further than a stiffer flex assuming they are the same weight? I'm sure you've all heard go a half flex soft for length or a half a flex stiffer for accuracy. I've been told by...

I've been struggling with poor contact from the 5 iron thru 3 wood pretty much forever. Sure I've hit some sweet ones but overall just not real consistant. Thin is the best way to describe it. Tonight I was swinging in the garage and started driving my right shoulder down the line and was...

I can't remember who but a couple members last week mentioned that when their plane was a bit more upright they had a faster swingspeed. Well I was just swinging in the garage and remembered to try it so I pulled out the swingmate and checked with the driver. What I found was a quick 8-10 mph...

Anything out there to give me a few more yards? Since joining this site I've picked up a club and a half with the irons but I'm greedy and want more. I have a swingmate and I try different things but nothing makes much of a difference. Any tips or is the swing speed you have, the swingspeed you...

Since joining this site about 3 weeks ago and following Brians instruction I have transformed my ballstiking a great amount. Three trips in a row to the local par 3 course I hit the pin from the tees and on the 4th trip I got my first hole in one. Yesterday I hit 12 out of 18 greens including 5...

Can anyone tell me some names of pros that use this method. I know that alot of pros are in the correct impact position just by being great at what they do but I'm sure there are alot of pupils out there playing. I was watching the seniors Sunday night and thought that Doyle's swing looked...

Is ball position critical? Does it have to be just inside say the left shoulder? I love this swing but after 20 years of playing the ball in the middle of my stance, I keep comming over to get to the ball or sometimes hitting it fat. If it's critical for consistency and long term quality golf...

After finding out about Homer's book and you translating the sometimes confusing info I feel like I'm on the right track. I used to swing inside out and never squared the face and everything went right. Well for the first week of the new swing I was killing everything and hitting straighter than...
