I have fought the ole dreaded over-the-top move all my golfing life (10 years). I spent most of this time struggling with poor alignment (I'm right handed and aimed too far right) that I think caused me to have to swing over-the-top to get the ball back to target. Unfortunately, I'm having a...

There's seems to be a lot of emphasis lately on body rotation as both a source of power and the primary way to close the clubface on the downswing. But, I seem to hit the ball better when I keep my back to the target as long as possible during the downswing...certainly helps me draw the ball...

Probably a worthless question, but does grip size have any effect on flipping through the impact area? Other words, if you are using a grip that is to thin, would that increase your chances of flipping?

My swing is really improving lately thanks to a few lessons with Brian, reading this forum almost daily and doing some light reading of the Yellow Book. I've managed to work most of the kinks out of my swing with the exception of a slight bent left arm at impact. I assume changing my swing...

I've looked at a lot of pro tour golf swings lately and it appears that the club stays close to their right shoulder during the initial part of the downswing, especially with Hogan and Garcia. How do they do that? Anyone here had any luck with using that as a downswing swing thought?

I have always struggled with my backswing. Some days, I can feel the club moving back perfectly and I absolutely stripe the ball. Other days, it seems like my backswing is a total re-route full of compensations. I was reviewing some of my old golf lesson videos and one of my swing flaws was...

Went to try out the launch montior today for the first time ever and was also looking at my golf swing. Of course, like shootin4par:), I'm still struggling with flipping. I did notice that the more I extended down the line, the less I tended to flip. Could lack of extension contribute to...

I see a lot of discussion about the proper downswing pivot, but would be interested in hearing in how all of you define the downswing pivot. I've heard left shoulder up, right shoulder down, slide then open the hips, turn with the core, etc. Thanks, c21heel

Have any of you used a launch monitor? If so, did you find it to be useful? By that I mean, did you actually get another Driver and see a noticeable difference? Or, did you simply find out that you need a lesson to eliminate a swing flaw:)? I have one scheduled for later this week and trying...

For the last four years, my number 1 swing fault has been hitting the ball fat (seems to come and go). Not the kind of fat shots that go less than 10 yards, but the kind that end up about 10-20 yards short of the greeen. Any of you ever suffer this? If so, what did you find fixed your...

Any great ideas on hot to flatten the downswing? I've tried looking at the inside of the golf ball, but still come over the top. My divots are deep and often times point to the left. Thanks! BTW, Brian looking at a late-August golf lesson, I'll be in touch soon!

How many of you think about about getting your back to the target as a key swing thought? Since the right forearm takeaway is giving me fits at this point, I often salvage my round with just thinking about completing my backswing. I've looked at a lot of swing sequences and it seems all the...

I seem to be having a lot of success with sustaining the lag with the irons, but the woods are a different story. I seem to push fade the woods a lot. When I try to rotate the left wrist, I tend to pop the ball up. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Thanks, c21heel

I'm working hard with TGM and seeing pretty good results. It seems that I have my best success when I try to keep my back to the target on the downswing until impact. Is this a good swing thought consistent with TGM principles? Thanks, C21heel

I have a tendency to lunge on the downswing, but have found that maintaining my axis tilt has helped tremendously. However, when I focus on maintaining axis tilt, I will sometimes sky the Driver. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks, C-21heel

All, I'm having trouble with getting a feel for getting on/under the swing plane on the downswing. My downswing is steep and often results in fat and/or pulled shots. Any recommendations? Thanks for your help, C-21heel
