Now i'm not advocating this for everyone but Brian really made me learn that flat left wrist by learning to keep it flat allllll the way to finish. Impossible you say? lol, never! Some people are amazed i can do it. Anyway, i have a feeling that this is partially causing a lot of tension in my...

This is a copy/paste from a post on bombsquadgolf.com by a user there who apparently has professional experience. Not sure how much or where (hides his identity) but he used to play professionally and frequented Jimmy Ballard. Here are his notes on his swing split into 3 categories, what do you...

WOW! I thought he was done "snapping his knee?"

Ok, i'm not sure what the hell is going on but my right hand is flying off through impact and i can't seem to get to a full finish. Hoewver the strange problem is that it is only really with my driver and SOMETIMES with my 3 wood. Misses have been tending to go the fade route (usually have in...

Just more proof that the tac-tic doesn't lie and when you THINK your left wrist is flat, it just may not be....(below is copied/pasted from lynn's forum) "What I initially found out amazed me. I have always been told to put the hands in front of the clubhead at address position and thought I...

Been a while since hitting balls and i went out last night because it was semi warm. I had a problem i haven't had in a LONG TIME. instead of driving the right should down/out, somewhere around hip high i kept rotating my upper body hitting the back of the ball and hitting some pull/pull...

Here is my report from seeing brian: http://www.manzellagolfforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=950&SearchTerms=brian Here is something that i've noticed since implementing all the things i've learned: http://www.manzellagolfforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=979&SearchTerms=brian -----...

Should your shoulders be level or have some tilt to them when you are done with the backswing pivot? Also how do you recognize when you are becoming too steep in your shoulder turn? Anything to watch for?

Not sure why but my normal shot is just dead straight now with the occasional misses either way which is only the result of a poor setup and mental concentration. I used to have a wonderful little fade i could hit under pressure or even just working around dog-legs and whenever i try to do it...

I had a significant fitting for the past few days with a guy i really trust and we really "ironed" out a lot of issues lol. Now what is interesting is that he says that i load the shaft very hard and very early in the swing and it creates a lot of "toe droop" in my swing. This makes a lot of...

What would be the cause of a Divot that starts out square to the plane line but then turns left at the end? This is crude, but something like this: /-- When i went to see brian i had a problem of pulling hard left after impact to keep the ball straight because my left wrist was bent. I know...

So much ache in the finger should there be? A poop load or a crap load? ;) All i know is that after 18 holes and some range work my finger is STIFF. hehehe By the way i introduced someone on the range who was a few inches away from full compression (i could tell by sound/ballflight) to lag...

This is something i am starting to notice more and more often. Everyone really stresses balance in the golf swing; as do myself even. But the more i find myself in balance at the end of a good swing it seems that i have produced the right movements (mechanically) to achieve such supreme balance...

Well i have really been hitting the ball well lately. I mean really well, everytime i go to the range everyone starts asking me "what is that noise?" LOL, i just tell them its me compressing the ball hehehe. Anyway the main thing that i have been doing to produce this is a combination of my...

So i'm playing the course today, had an awesome round. Finally putting some good things to use that Brian showed me. I still think i have a tad reverse pivot and not enough tilt at impact but still a good day none the less. 2 over 74 10/14 fairways 14/18 greens 33 putts. Awesome day for 20mph...

I keep reading that it is better to learn how to hit with the short irons, why is that? What advantage to it is there? I don't know how to hit (i dont think), brian could tell you whether i'm a swinger or a hitter but i don't consciously use right arm thrust so i doubt it. However i do use it...

Can you properly compress the ball without taking a deep divot? How do you know if you are properly compressing the ball? Sometimes i really think i do but the divot is rather shallow, any comments?

These were the main things brian told me to work on with my swing. As i have been incorporating this more into my swing it seems the ball is 1) going higher 2) going straighter 3) going farther. Now i was curious if by now starting my initial lateral bump of the hips (didn't have any) and...

You'll just have to wait until later to read alllllll about it [:p];). I have to be off to school but the short version is that i learned a lot, brian is an entirely misunderstand person, and within a few holes of each round i was implementing what i learned and seeing results. More on this later

Well i got rid of my hooks and pull hooks from not being so flat on my backswing. It snuck in there from playing too much into the wind and i do it at times to lower the trajectory. Now for some reason i am straightening my right leg and coming up out of the shot for some reason. Not sure why...
