I think I have a mental block regarding longer irons. I am hitting wedges through 6i very, very well. Once I put a 5iron (or longer) in my hands, hitting without a tee, there is absolutely no consistency. 40% are beautiful, 30% are pulls or hooks, 30% are slices. Of these shots, distance is...

These things just came outa the blue about 2 weeks ago. I've been having a lot of success with chips and pitches. About 2 out of 10 will do it. The other 8 are decent to great. What gives to cause these? I don't shank anything else.

Quick question... In considering my set up, I think I am too upright. So, I have been reading and re-reading your setup article. I'm not sure when it was written but...does anything need to be updated in it? Are you arms in that article in an ideal position (i.e. from the looks of the pic...

Hitting the driver 60% good during a round but...40% will be some kind of either skyball (though straight) or too high of trajectory. I suspect this is because I get steep with the driver. Would appreciate comments on how to fix this. Thanks

Been working extremely hard on a good pivot. I seem to get lazy in this area and lack of a good turn/pivot shows up when I am tired or just lose focus on it. In practicing in the mirror, I noticed that as I start to turn the trunk around the spine, if I lift/raise my hands, at around 1/2 back...

In New Orleans. My neighbor, a very good golfer (+3), is from there. He is mid-60's and used to play the 4 courses @ City Park. Actually played all over that N.O. area including MS, AL, etc.... He just moved here 3 years ago. I asked if he knew you and he said all you Italian guys had...

In a previous message, you gave your address checklist. Here it is: Address check list: 1.left wrist on top of shaft 2.left wrist paralell to the leading edge of te clubface (for straight shot) 3.shaft points to center of hips elbows point at their respective hips 4.spine angle and tilt...

brian recommened this drill to me to help when I am hooking the ball. How far apart should the balls be? He showed me this diagram to set them up (O being the ball) xxxxxxxxxxxxxO xxxxxxxxxxO xxxxxxxO

Things are progressing well as of late. However, I am fighting some nasty blocks/pushes. This has become my number 1 errant flight. Sometimes, they are 10* off, others they are 30*. Never struggled with these before so based on other improvements, I guess these are a good thing. I have...

Still working on axis tilt and pushes. Shot a terrible round Sat. I gotta get the amp'd-ness out of my system before a round. I had such a great week on the range to get such poor results on the course. Anyways, that's a different thread. I hit many decent shots Sat. But one in...

When I don't tilt the axis enough, my ball flight is too low. But I am more accurate. To get it up, I remember to focus on axis tilt. I might be over doing it because I get a push about 15-20* right of the target. This happens 50% of the time. I can't tell if I am getting more or less tilt...

I can't get a handle on this concept. Can someone 'splain to me how it's done???

Well, today was the day to see if all the improvements on the range during the last week would produce a better game on the course. First 7 holes I played really well. Was like 4 over...and this is for a 25 handicapper. I was estatic. Then, old man's disease caught up with me. Since aging...

For those of you that have followed some of the threads of my struggles and successes after my lessons with Brian....an update and question. I am now hitting the ball with most all clubs with a lot of compression, great trajectory, and either straight or a slight draw. My weird little set up...

Got home Saturday after a so-so day on the course. In the mail was my first copy of The Golfing Machine. Started reading it and a lot of stuff made sense. I don't know what I didn't get the freakin' book sooner. Got to the range today...started off hitting my pitiful shots. So, determined...

I read about this in another forum. Can someone elaborate as to what this is???

Been back playing golf a little over a year. Just came up and took 6 hours of lessons from Brian. My putting, chipping, pitching, and punch shot has improved tremendously (since the lessons in 3rd week of Aug). By the sound of the ball, I think I am executing the basic movement pretty darn...

Working real hard on the things Brian and I worked on in our in-person lessons. I get really stiff armed on the take away/backswing and this seemed to be a root of some of my problems. So, in trying not to overswing on the backswing, and stay relaxed, etc...I remembered a swing video of a pro...

I golfed as a teenager for about 4 years. I thought I did pretty good then as I shot in the 90s with the old style clubs. When I got back into the game after 30yrs away from it, I thought it would be a piece of cake with all the newly found free time I had, technology in clubs, balls, and the...

Trying to absorb and incorporate as much off this site as I can before my lesson with Brian in 2.5 weeks. I am hitting 6 iron through lob wedge much better but am falling apart on 5i through 3wood. Actually hitting the driver OK (good to fair). Is there something I am missing in trying to...
