I plan on offering a service using our Flightscope here at the club, and am wondering what the members here feel would be the most important data to be aware from a players perspective. Some immediate, obvious ones to me are: -Average Carry distance with all your clubs / gapping -Left vs. Right...

So, we all know the claims/theories on putters. Face balanced putters are more fit for a "square-square" stroke, whereas putters with lots of toe hang or better suited for "gated" strokes that go from open to closed. Sure, I get the theory behind it, pretty simple really, but is it true? If...

Since research has shown (correct me if I'm wrong) that a slight upstroke is needed to create optimal roll in a putt, it seems justifiable to aim (very) slightly right to account for the "in" vector of the "up" stroke. Idea: instead of soling the putter directly behind the ball, aimed right...

Played a round today, armed with the D-plane knowledge that this site has given a lot of us. While you may not need to "change" what you do for most standard shots, I found that the most useful application for the D-plane principles, mainly the relationship between clubface (starting flight)...

Has anyone tried this new training aid yet? Any thoughts/feedback on it? Golf Swing Trainer, The Orange Whip Golf Trainer

Was thinking about the D-plane. What exact affect does the weighting bias of a driver have on its ball flight? For example, does a draw-biased driver behave as if the face is more closed than it actually is, or that the path is more inside-out than it actually is? I think this answer (to...

I was reading through an article that referenced Fred Griffin & Ralph Mann's "Swing Like a Pro," which is a model based on the composite swing of over 100 top professional swings. The book was published in 1998. This got me to wondering, what would the "composite" swing of the top 100 pros...

Has (Brian) anyone been able to gather some Trackman data for various short game shots? I think it'd be pretty interesting to see exactly how some of the world's best players hit their flop shots, pitches, various bunker lies, etc. I'd be interested to see a few key areas: Angle of attack...

Unoffical Poll of this Forum's members: Would you rather be able to play at the highest level, or have the instructional knowledge of the highest level? ("Both" is not an option, for the sake of this poll) I play and teach, and this is actually a tougher question to answer than I originally...

Bronco, What's the source/reference for different golfers hitting a golf ball at the same speeds, but with different contact times? Where did you get this?

This guy used to be up there each year in ball striking, no? I don't think I've ever really seen a swing sequence of him. Does anybody have any specific commentary on his swing or a nice video/swing sequence?

Brian (et. al), Just wondering if you'd had a chance to look at the line ups for the Conferences at the PGA Merchandise Show. Are there several that you'd recommend (in terms of teaching applications) over others? I'm sure you know more about many of the presenters than most of us, and any...

Re-read Brian's Rolling the Rock article (by the way, a great way to scan some really good threads is to list them by # of views in the pull down menu, bottom left). It talks about what the putter should be doing, which is the most important thing. However, I'm wondering about what aspects of...

If a person if left hand dominant in most everyday activities, is there an advantage to him being a left handed golfer? The guy in question batted right in baseball so he automatically carried that over to golf, but is now questioning whether that was the right move or not. I'm also interested...

How much of a trade off does everybody think there is between "ideal" impact conditions and "ideal" launch conditions (I suppose specifically with a driver)? I was at one of Callaway's Performance Centre's last week and although I'd heard it all before, it got me thinking more about this...

Does anybody want to take a crack at this guy? I really like certain aspects of his swing, and hear that his ballstriking gets quite a bit of respect from other tour players. I could only find a few positional shots, but wasn't able to get at any swing sequences. If anyone's got a sequence...

Brian, I think I heard you state that you used a mac for most of your work, as do I. I was wondering if you could outline what kind of camera you've got, which software you use for movies and stills, etc. I'd appreciate any info as I'm trying to build my own setup. Are there certain...

Looking through a lot of PGA Tour pro swing sequences, it seems that a lot of them are slightly above the TSP. Only slightly mind you, but it seems that a lot of them are in a position such that the bottom of their left arm traces a line back to the ball. On average, this only puts them at...

Does anybody know much about this teacher? He's supposed to have a fairly high profile in terms of teaching certain tour pros at one time or another; "consultant to five number one ranked golfers." He is the founder of LogicalGolf at logicalgolf.com. Any info would be appreciated, have an...
