    Putting Grip

    I posted this today on Lynn's forum...I want to see what you have to say too though. I want the whole story. Here's the post: "What's the call? Palms facing (wrists vertical)...or hand(s) turned/rolled to whatever degree. Both hands? or one hand? Which hand? Overlap? Reverse overlap? Claw...

    How to teach someone [w/ManzellaAudioAnswer]

    Brian...I'm gonna try to teach my dad's buddy how to really golf. He's been playing for years (maybe 20)...about 15 handicap. He rolls it open too much/too inside on the backswing and kind of "caresses" the ball on his forward swing. His current swing wouldn't give him much power if he...

    Wow...FGI

    Man...I just was reading some of FGI's archives with some of your posts Brian, and some of Mike Finney's posts. Good god those guys are losers. I don't usually come out all blunt like that and just call people down, but man...they tried so hard all the time to shut you down. Bunch of...

    Hogan Audio Answer [big time EDIT]

    I listened to it today again...can't find it on the site anymore. Anyway...so I was listening to it today and, with my new-found info. from 'Confessions of a Former Flipper'...would you call Hogan a flipper? [EDIT]Just realized that "flipping", I guess, refers to a loss of lag...definately not...

    Confessions is Gold

    Just want to let you know that Confessions of a former flipper really is amazing. It's really going to help me Brian. I have had my plane, my takeaway hand alignments (bent right, flat left), pivot, blahblah etc. etc. pretty much spot on for a while...I would always hit the ball pretty solid...

    Couples

    Brian... I heard Freddie say "I learned very quickly as a kid that the faster I got my hands on my left shoulder in the finish, the further the ball goes." But why does it go further?

    Your Hands Will FAIL YOU Under Pressure!

    Remember that old statement? Just wanted to bring it up and see if anyone had anything to say about it...considering all the Hands-Controlled Pivot and Pivot-Controlled Hands stuff. Hmmm...when they say this they must mean COMPENSATING with the hands when your mechanics are off. i.e. relying...

    Ugliest Swing on Tour

    I hate Chip Beck's swing. HATE. Who do you guys think has the ugliest swing? [EDIT] Meant to say Skip Kendall, not Chip Beck.

    Does Hogan have a closed stance with every club?

    WELL!!! DOES HE!?!? lol This is the only way I can be able to look like him at the top using a normal takeaway (to the inside of course though). Otherwise (from a more normal stance) it feels very awkward and unnatural and the only way to get like Hogan at the top really is to swivel all the...

    Ignorant Blokes!

    Read some of the reviews of TGM on Amazon.com (at the bottom). If only these people knew the truth and what they're missing out on. It actually angered me to read some of these. Listen to this boob: "I have a medical degree, am a life master in bridge, and have studied classical music and...

    Check this out - Appleby/Elkington

    Elkington is a TGM guy. Check out this article...Stuart swings almost exactly like Elk. Funny that everyone is always saying you need to model yourself after these guys.

    Strong Grip vs. Neutral

    How would you bend your right wrist with a stronger grip? It does not seem right to me to bend it straight back as with a neutral grip. This gives me a very closed, "Rich Beem" (I dunno how he hits a ball like that- all I get is hooks) shut face at the top and a flat wrist...with a strong...

    Conspiracy Theory!!!

    Have you guys ever thought that the reason why most golf instruction is so incomplete is because they might not want golfers to really improve? Think about it...if they could make everyone better golfers and give them some complete information then no one would need to buy Golf Digest, take...

    Right-sided swing

    What do you guys think of this? It's the swing taught by Gary Edwin and used by Paul Casey, I believe. The distinguishing feature of this swing style seems to be that you keep your weight on your front foot throughout the swing, and hence, never have to shift it forward as much in your...

    What the heck is Sergio

    Hitter or swinger?

    Nicklaus

    How come no one ever talks about his swing? Everyone seems to talk about and copy the swings of Hogan and Snead and Nelson, etc. Nicklaus was a good ballstriker, no?

    Brian's Swing

    I haven't heard much about your swing lately Brian. You have posted your old swing and a few others but you haven't really talked about what you've been doing lately. You say that you are always experimenting and you obviously have a lot of knowledge...so I assume you have been many different...

    Horton

    What ever happened to that Horton character anyway? Not that I miss the guy...lol

    Good article [EDITED]

    Read this: http://www.t-g-s.com/pdfs/simplicity.pdf I think that article is very TGM. Another great quote: "Bob sleds. At the beginning of the race (assuming that the sled is not pushed but just let free to fall down the pre-set course), my prediction would be that all the sleds would clock...
