    True Lag vs. Fake Lag

    Am I correct that the "lag" most talk about during the transition is really fake lag or toe up aspect of the shaft? If so, where should we look for true lag? After the hands are below the waist or around the 8:00 mark?

    Summary of Release Thread

    Is there anyone who can summarize the release thread on a per topic basis? Reading 170+ pages of posts is daunting for me and it seems like the thread is too large for someone new to the new release to be able to follow it.

    What are the biggest factors that affect low point control?

    Is lowpoint control a subjective term like timing? I don't really think about low point control but I know it needs to happen. The shot I fear the most is a 60 yard chip on wet, bent grass. Chunk city. I don't fear that lie if the shot were 90 yards.

    Table Top Release - Jacobs - Timing

    Is the table top type of release supposed to reduce the forearm roll (as a way to square the clubface at impact)? Am I correct that the forearm roll has less room for error in trying to square the clubface (than the table top release)? When I try this move it feels like my hands are much lower...

    Face Angle Control & Timing (now with a Manzella video)

    I consistently had a Trackman reading last night of less than one for my club path. However, my face angle readings were consistenlty around -4* closed. Thus, I would hit drivers 30-40 yards left (108 clubhead speed, 160 ballspeed, 3000 spin rate, 13 * vertical launch). How does one best...

    Sweetspot & Attack Angle

    Why is it that when I handle drag and hit down on my irons that I can hit more "solid" shots than when I don't handle drag and pick the ball more? Is it due to the fact that when I deloft the club that I bring the sweetspot closer to the ball somehow (just a guess)??

    New Release - Luke Donald

    Is this swing evidence of the new release? It seems like Luke's RIGHT wrist arches post impact and his LEFT wrist simultaneously cups (see 13-15 seconds). It also looks like at the top his righ wrist cups after being arched.

    Release Video - Problem Viewing

    I purchased the release video and watched it once. Is that all I get to watch it? When I go into the shop under my view purchased items I can't get the video to play again. I purchased the video and first viewed it at work. I'm trying to view the video at home. Works on my iphone for some...

    Low Point Control - Fat Shots (30-60 yard shots)

    I seem to hit it fat on my shots between 30-60 yards. It feels like I tilt back on the downswing and/or come too far from the inside when I hit the fat shot. Anyone come "over the top" slightly to make sure their low point isn't too far behind the ball (as a result of coming too far inside)...

    Spin Axis Tilt - Amount of Curvature

    Are there any guidelines for the amount of curvature of a ball (ex. 10 yards, 20 yards, etc.) when comparing ball speed and spin axis? For example, if a ball speed is 150 and the spin axis is -3*, how far will the ball curve?

    Standing up in the downswing

    What's wrong with standing up in the downswing (a/k/a losing your tush line)? Why do most people do it? I find it easier on my body/back to stand up in the downswing and fall back a little onto my heels to get left and be more rotational. I'm generally an arms/hands dominant golfer.

    Flat Left Wrist - Strength

    Why is it hard for stronger people to have a flat left wrist at the top of their backswing as stated by Brian in his YouTube video about flat left wrists?

    Twist Away and Downswing

    Should I have the feeling after I perform the twist away/wedding right up in the backswing that my left and right hands/wrists are more like one unit? I'm going from a cupped left wrist to a little bow in the left wrist which feels dramatically different. Should I also get the feeling that I...

    Twistaway Experience - Hands as One

    I used some twistaway on the range and my hands and arms like one unit. I'm a lifelong cupper and using the twistaway made me feel like I could hit the ball better with my pivot then my hands rolling though impact to close the face. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Manzellaisms

    Could someone post a list with defintions? For example, pop out, throwaway, marbles, twistaway, NHA (not everyone knows it stands for never hook again), NSA, etc. So much good stuff that isn't in one area for quick reference. Maybe project 1.68 will have a definition section.

    The Pros on Trackman

    How good are they are consistently controlling club path and face angle? For example, do they consistently have the same path and face angle for each club within 1 degree of each other? Never have the path greater than 4*? face angle greater than 2*?

    Driver - +5 AoA - Tee Height

    What size tees/tee height is generally used for one to get +5 AoA with their driver? Assume the tee goes into the ground a half inch and a solid shot instead of something hit on the bottom of the club. 3.0"??? I can get +8 with 4" tees I doubt someone can get a high attack angle with 2.25" tees.

    Closing the Clubface

    If clubs are "too long" for someone, or the shafts too stiff, or a combination of both, be a leading cause of not closing the clubface enough at impact? I'm looking for generalities regarding the clubface opening or closing of the clubface.

    Reducing Club Path

    I have a friend who was hitting golf balls on Trackman the other day and his club path was 9+ for various clubs. I tried to get him to feel like he's going over the top more to counter such an in to out path. Sometimes his path got down to the 2-3 range which is fine (just worry about path for...

    Clubhead Direction - AoA and Club Path

    Why does Trackman define clubhead direction (the bottom part of the D plane - see the second page of their July 2009 newsletter) as angle of attack and "club path" when the angle of attack is already factored into their calculation of "club path"? Does the term "club path" not include the...
