    Lagging Clubhead Takeaway

    Can a swing with LCT be the death of someone that struggles with push/push fades with the driver? I LOVE the feeling I get with LCT but I'm wondering if it's one of the reasons I struggle with the driver. My buddy wants me to totally eliminate it from my swing but I think my swing is much more...

    Aiming WAY right

    I've been hooking the driver lately and the ball pretty much starts a little straight or left and then curves more to the left. I figured this was a clubface problem (10 Things DVD). Just got back from 18 and I hit some bomb drives but also some hooks. A buddy laid a club down and I was damn...

    Putting grips: The Claw

    Anyone know much about this beast of a grip? I purchased Mangum's ebook and he mentioned how he likes the left hand to be "more" in the stroke. Left hand low seems as awkward as kissing my father on the lips so I tried The Claw on my little practice green last night. I think it's something I...

    Regripping at top

    I have a feeling I regrip at the top sometimes. What am I doing wrong? Wrong hand POSITION? Wrong grip PRESSURE? I have pretty small hands (I like a cadet small for a glove) and I use a "regular" size grip. Could that be it? I feel like I really have to grip it tight so the butt of the...

    Game goes South: Take a break?

    When you start playing bad do you keep going or do you take a break? My driver has just been awful and it's making it hard to have fun. I've considered just taking off a week or two? What do you guys do?

    For Brian: Pattern 13 vs. NHA2.0

    Brian, how about a teaser to help us all get through this day after Zach Johnson's horrible defeat at the JDC. We all know that you have had great success off the tee with NHA. So the question is, how much better do you hit your driver with Pattern 13? Just curious and constantly wiping the...

    Left arm connection

    Do you guys like the feeling that your left arm is connected to your body? I haven't been able to hit my 3w for like 2 years, not kidding. I'd hook it off the planet and then hit bad shots trying not to hook it. The last time I played golf a lot was about 6 years ago and I used to kill my 3w...

    Brian in California??

    I can't find his last post on locations and dates. Is he going to CA this summer? If so, where and when? I have an opportunity to stay out there free of charge for about a week and thought this might work. Thanks

    Hips and path

    Are your hips one of the most important elements of the swing when it comes to path?

    Sequenced release

    Need a little clarification please. I just watched Building Blocks where Brian mentions and demonstrates a sequenced release. Immediately, a light bulb came on and then I searched for a post I read and found it: "Someone, somewhere taught the poor golfer to PURPOSELY UNCOCK THE WRISTS before...

    The Magic Move: Harvey Penick

    "To start your downswing, let your weight shift to your left foot while bringing your right elbow back down to your body." Sounds a little like the "step on your right, step on your left" but what do you think about the elbow part? Thanks Curtis

    Hit it with your stomach!

    I found a hand written note that I wrote many years ago about something Brian wrote. It was basically like, "never move the hands with your hands." And then I wrote, "hit the ball with your stomach." Is this still valid? With all the "changes" going around I have a hard time figuring out...

    Decreasing FATS

    If someone wanted to decrease FATS, would pulling with the left hand help? If you've followed any of my posts from last year or this year I struggle(d) with big push fades with my driver. Many mentioned that I had too much FATS. Something clicked last night. I really have NO sensation of...

    Flipp'n examples

    If someone has the time and knows the difference, can you show examples of someone that flips it bad, times the flip, and how it's supposed to be done (no flip). I've seen videos of golfers who supposedly time the flip but to me I don't see it. I think if we can come up with these 3 examples...

    Flat left wrist

    Has the flat left wrist become less important over the last few years? I know forward lean has backed off a bit (I think) but didn't know if that effected the left wrist. Thanks

    Weird swing, great results

    I'm trying to figure out what to do with my new driver swing (strong grip, face closed slightly at address). Once again I took it to the course today and had great results. Just a slight draw and it's going around 260-270 yards, with a nice high trajectory. Should I worry about it not being...

    I Will Push Fade No More Forever

    Well, I actually hit balls at a range for the first time this year trying to figure out my driver. I can put it in the fairway with a little cut but wasn't liking the distance. Soft Draw was working half the time, either nice draw and long or push fade and long. So here's my solution I found...
