    how to hit a hybrid???

    I absolutely love my Hi-bore XL Tour driver. So, I got a great deal on a Hi-bore hybrid and jumped on it. However, I just can't hit the damn thing. Most the time, I get a sharp hook out of it when I am hitting everything else well. In fact, during my best round ever, it cost me two penalty...

    might seem like a stupid question but...

    once the rearward pivot is made, what is the engine to turn the hips? Seriously.... I have been working on getting the hips to start to open and it seems like there are a couple of ways to make this happen . Is it the weight going left and that step down, posting move that causes the hip to...

    I have become a pushin'/hooking machine

    Well, no more fades or slices....been pushing an sometimes hooking the ball as a missed shot. Also, been hitting the ball out towards the toe with my irons. So, I got some old irons out. My current irons (Mizuno mx-23) are 2* flat. My old Cally Fusions are 2* up, Still hit it on the toe...

    Freakin' Daly.....

    Man, if there was ever a guy that I've pulled for, in spite of whatever...it's J.D. But frankly, I've given up on the dude. It's not entertaining any longer...it's sad and sorry. I understand the disease and demons he's possessed with....wrestled with them some myself. But, grow up dude...

    trying to figure out how to turn left hip after shift...

    Ok, this is a major missing piece for me.... Have figured out, when I make my shift, I don't start the hip turning left almost immediately after. I'd appreciate insights on how to get that hip turning/opening after the shift/weight goes to left leg.

    From hackerdom to golfdom...finally making progress!

    Well, after trying about everything on the planet to get rid of my over the top, over accelerating, chicken wing, flipping swing.... I reached a point about two weeks ago when I about threw in the towel. Even though I had close to 10 hours with Brian, practice at the range every day, have all...

    tic tock, tic tock....time to do battle with Capt Hook...

    I guess you can call me Peter Pan now. My good shots have become a soft draw. Haven't sliced one in a long time. Occasionally hit the block/push. What I am really starting to see develop is a hook. I have NHA again but....I have a lot going good with my swing and really don't want to...

    How do you take the upper body out of the swing?

    In my lessons with Brian, we worked on taking my round house shoulders out of commission as well as my trying to add power from the upper body on the downswing. My last lessons were about 2 months ago. I gradually got better each week until last week (and this week). The swing is totally...

    Blocks / pushes...terrible approach shots...

    Well, since my lessons with Brian (second round) about a month ago, I am hitting my driver like never before and my mid irons the same. Short irons and wedges on full shots are a nightmare as of late. I just can't seem to dial them in at all. Lately, my main miss is a block. I think I know...

    or academy.....EURKA moment needs further help!

    Whoops, should be EUREKA.... Just took second round of lessons from Brian about 3 weeks ago. The main thing I took home with me is "develop a more golf lik swing". My swing is all upper body and HARD. Not very golf like! So, from our first lessons over a year ago, I started to employ axis...

    pushes and hooks becoming more common..

    Making good progress on what we worked on during the lessons. Pitches, chips, and putts a TON better (and I was putting decent). The swing is coming around to being more golf-like. Starting to get hooks and pushes show up more. What should I be adjusting when they happen? (I have NHA...

    Follow up to "ugh, another driver question"...

    Got the video out a couple of weeks ago when my iron play went to crap. I fell into an old habit of overswing on the backstroke and flipping through the ball. Put a lot of work in on the range, video and lasers and got the iron swing looking real nice. Could of sworn I had the driver >swing<...

    UGH...yet another driver question....

    Hooked the lasers up to the driver. For the life of me, I can't get the lasers to trace the plane line on the back swing unless I radically change my swing. When I swing back like I do other clubs, the laser is coming from outside the plan line to under it. I can accomplish tracing the...

    Hitting driver too high....equipment change will help?

    Hitting irons very well of late as well as fairway woods. Driver is a different story. I am losing distance by trajectory being too high. I play a Cally Tour FT3 9.5 with NVS 65 S shaft. Also play an R7 TP 10.5 with 757 S shaft. I hit both too high! Will lower loft or different shaft help...

    Right elbow question....

    My swing has been improving a lot since my lessons with Brian last fall. I got to a point where I was really hitting it good but...I would have my share of bad shots during a round. Still, dropped 4+ points off the handicap from March to June. Had a physical set back that caused me to be out...

    Nice shot by D. Toms today on #2....

    167 out, 1st bounce on the green, 2nd....no 2nd, drops in the hole after the first bounce. Ker plunk! Eagle dropping him to -9.

    Jim only....right shoulder down plane...

    yet another...right? I've busted up my elbow so I'm out for a week or two. I've been working wiht my 3 boys and a light went off. If I was to put a laser on my right shoulder, where would I want to place it to point at the plane line. Also, is the plane line the same as target or inside and...

    Jim....laser tracing

    Got the Butch Harmon laser trainer on ebay ($45). I think in another post you said to ignore the ball flight laws. I'm not sure if you are basically saying to ignore everything but the red, straight line? Do I still want the path and plane lasers always pointing at the straight line on back...
