    Strong grip=long ball

    What is it about a strong grip that lets guys hit the ball further? I know not all long ball hitters have a strong grip but I would say a really high percentage of guys who hit it a mile have strong grips. Just off the top of my head I think of Bubba Watson, John Daly, J.B. Holmes,Brett...

    I just bought and watched “The Movie”, lots of great information. I have a couple of questions from the video. The hinging actions that Brian demonstrated, when do they actually start to happen? Are the hinging actions controlled by “educated hands”? As far as I could tell if the leading...

    How about a 3 wood video?

    I went out and played nine tonight and struck the ball fabulous with all my clubs except the 3 wood. Driver great, short irons great, mid to long irons great, 3 wood junk. I don't know what it is about this club but I either hit low hooking shrimps or skanked cutters. I would love to see a...

    Can toe shots and shanking be related?

    I have seemed to develop a constant toe shot. I consistantly hit about 1/4" to the right of center. I have been trying to figure this out for the life of me can not correct it. I was reading the "shank" thread and got to thinking I might be lagging the hosel and know subconsiously I am going...

    3 wood launch angles

    I'm looking to buy a new 3 wood and was wondering if there is an optimum launch angle and spin rate for a 13* and 15* 3 woods. I have a 105mph swing and would like to get the most distance possible; I never hear anything about launch numbers for a 3 wood, would they be the same as a driver...

    Flipper Giveth...Building Blocks Taketh (with Brian Manzella Video Answer)

    I decided to buy flipper and try to improve my swing, I worked at hitting the ball with my pivot and after a couple of hours was striping the ball. I was very impressed with the video so I decided to buy building blocks. I worked on the chip shot and pitch shot in the style Brian uses in the...

    I went out and video taped my swing yesterday and put it on the v1, uggg. 1.) I was swaying off the ball (losing my angle in my right leg). 2.) Over swinging, letting my left arm bend a bit to get back further. 3.) Swinging under plane. 4.) Of course I was not releasing the club, if I did...

    Left shoulder center of arc

    TGM pg 30 "A geometrically proper procedure is to establish the correct radius with the clubhead raised to the desired impact relationship. Then maintain the center of the arc - that is, the left shoulder - as now established, and hold the hands at the height and angle now established, then let...

    TGM Pivot

    Well this is my first post here. I read the article about Plummer and Bennett and I had never heard of the TGM. I am a nut about golf swings and decided to look into the book, so I went to amazon and read some comments. Wow, how polarizing, some loved the book the others hated it. Among the...
