It has been one year exactly since I first met Brian and saw him in Louisville. I came in as an accomplished player who battled certain ball flight issues, namely underplane sort of things (hooks,block fades, poor pitching, etc.) My "blow up the pattern" lesson included alot of NHA material. 1...

Is anybody else less than enthusiastic about his swing. The announcers seem to fawn over it alot. Ive always thought that it was prone to doing exactly what he did today, hit alot of pulls, pull draws and fats of of downhill lies. i think he works on that "puck" or spoon release that Nick...

I'm having a little difficulty getting through to a gentleman recently. He's a somewhat heavyset guy who has an incomplete turn (right shoulder that doesn't reach the plane) throws it and flips it forward for a leakage hook. Does anyone have any ideas for a starting point for thios type of...

Brian, apart from....having fun, keeping it simple, etc, etc. What are a handful of swing components or mechanics that are a must for say, a 12 year old girl who has never played before to learn?

I still go through the mags every now and again hoping to pick up a tidbit here and there (and maybe some good photos), but they always disappoint. This months GOLF magazine has someone analyzing Garcia's swing. Now there's a perfect opportunity to talk about plane shifts and why he has his left...

For some reason, i still get these Golf Magazines even though i dont think i ever signed up. Anyway, i got two of them in 3 days. I'm leafing through them and damn, there's alot of teachers out there. The top 100 seems so random. Does anyone know how these people are picked? Is it strictly a...

Please don't anyone get me wrong. I like rapping about Hogan as much as anyone. However, I'm always interested in why there is soooo much interest in his swing only. True, maybe the best striker ever, but mechanically, is that really the best swing? I mean, nobody, for whatever reason, has been...

A 60 year old former club champ at a very prominent major championship club in my area came to me very upset for a lesson. He was given what amounted to a stack and tilt lesson ( weight left, etc.,etc.,) He was stuck on that side and was trying to fall back to find the inside...it was awful. I...

I'll try to describe this the best i can. I've had several lessons with better players who pull the club down steeply (butt end pointing inside the target line), back their right sides up and move the hands out at the same time,then put a little flip at the bottom. They generally hit it well but...

Just a question to anybody. I had a great session on the range yesterday. I was alternating between fades and draws. Since employing more of a twistaway and a palm down feeling through impact, I feel the only adjustment to work the ball is to either make a "NSA" pivot for draws,and a "NHA" pivot...

Great too see George win his first tour event. I'm glad I haven't read any "32 year old out of obscurity wins" kind of articles. Anyone who has played with or has seen him play knows this was a long time coming. He would shoot crazy low scores on the minis and has one helluva pure swing. The...

You have been quoted as saying the difference between the bad and the good and the good and the great is clubface control, period. Through all my trials it was the one thing that never got better. My plane, pivot, lag, rythym,etc.all got better but i still hit wild shots. I never knew why until...

In the wake of the Marion Jones scandal, I began to wonder. Barry Bonds was already a 4 time MVP before BALCO. Jones was a dominant sprinter her whole life(unlike FloJo) before BALCO. These 2 great athletes had a common quest, to chase all time historic marks in their sport. Our sport has one...

I would be interested in knowing opinions of Ernie's swing now compared to, say, 1992-4. Is it crazy to say it was not only better, but MUCH better then. To me, it seems very steep and open going back, underneath approaching, with a ton of hand action as the club goes high and out to the right...

I began working with Brian in April with hopes that he could "fix me right up" for the tourney season and get me on my way. Specifically, I targeted the Open qualifier as a goal since it was played in my hometown. My lessons were great but my expectations were unrealistic. I had a pattern...
