    A Plan for PEACE....and Learning!

    Once upon a time, Mike Hebron had a good idea: "An International Golf Teaching Summit" It was sabotaged by the PGA before it went to post and has deteriorated into a SEMINAR that is so sanitized, most teachers who WANT TO LEARN, don't go. Silly me, I always go. Hopeful. I always return...

    Why do some students fail to improve?

    Rundmc, on another thread brought a very good point. He recalled Steve (four barrels) saying that students were "mentally challenged" if they didn't improve with good information (like what Steve teaches). Great question. Lets discuss.

    A Manzella swing, just for fun.

    Haven't got to play much since Katrina. 9 rounds. Haven't hit many balls. Way less than 9 buckets. But I always ticker and research.... This is a swing I made trying to do a few things I haven't done in a long time. Pretty good Alignments, no...

    New BRIAN MANZELLA article — September 2006

    Hey, Golf Teachers of the world… Do you have the Answer or just the Antidote? There will always be competing ideas in the golf instruction business. It is no different from any other business that sells ideas or training of any kind. Whether it is the “head centered pivot” vs. the “spine...

    Manzella Report from Chicago

    I had a great session with a private group and a 5 1/2 hour session on the range and the course with a really super guy who got a lot better. Today, I will freeze, but I have a three hour session, followed by a two and two "ones." Then I'll work some with our own Jim_0068. When I thaw out...

    The HOGAN PRINT and a common misconception

    ColtsFan, This lack of factual knowledge of Mr. Hogan's real history, is not your fault. Lots of folks have no idea about the man, or his history. As for these photos: They were taken in 1948 at Augusta National, and in the three years which ended in 1948, Ben Hogan won 30 tournaments. 30...

    Ryder Cup Thoughts...

    Ryder Cup Prediction If Woods has a winning record and the rookies spilt or better... USA wins. Simple as that. Those putts that Colin keeps making in these Ryder Cups, HAVE TO start missing. Maybe, this will be the year that the EUROs stink it up. But: If Woods has a winning record and...

    What a good pivot looks like...and doesn't

    Once apon a time in a land (that seems so) far away, there was a little community of teachers. They all had at least two things in common, and they all also could make nice looking swings. They knew what a good pivot looked like and they knew what didn't. Anyhoo, enough dreaming.... This is a...

    Two Different Pivots (with pictures) — Part 2

    Now that I have found a very good example of a "Centered Head Pivot"—Jim Hardy student Olin Browne, I have posted his swing, and that of Payne Stewart, to compare and contrast the "Centered Head Pivot,' with a "Point Between the Shoulders-type Pivot." My opinion on this is very simple, I like...

    Tiger Woods. He's the best. This IS his swing, get over it.

    Isn't it funny? The guy is probably the best ever, but if he doesn't fit your model, he "really swings different sometimes," or it is "bad camera angles." Please. The guy is the best, and he doesn't put his head in the middle of his stance, and he sure doesn't use it as a tripod. He turns...

    Teach 'em what they need to do...and that they can!

    This was a pretty good little job of writing and explaining, if I do say so myself. I never got any credit for doing that with the Juniors. None. Zero. Nada. So what? By doing the clinics, I got better at doing this so I can help the WHOLE WORLD play better. Me and Mike Finney did one like...
