    head feng shui

    Just hit my first bucket in a long time. First 20 were shanks because my head was tilted and turned right. Once I straightened it out I was hitting some great shots. Returning home, I noticed that my default head/neck position whilst driving was tilted and turned slightly right. I guess it is...

    Is it worth going? I have a free flight and room. Is making tee times to play that weekend tough? I've got my eye on a few courses about 30 mins northeast of Orlando.

    hybrids or fairway woods? what is the key to hitting both?

    My bag jumps from Driver to a 20 degree hybrid. I have nothing in between. I have no other hybrids so I have room to carry both the 3 and 4 irons though I rarely use them. The problem with the hybrid is that it makes me look like a complete a-hole on one out of three swings. Balls off the tee...

    Up the wall -- NHA

    Do I want to imagine the club head touching a wall all the way up? Doing so would neccesitate arm movement which is forward (the direction that the feet are pointing to assuming square/square), backward (away from the target), and up. Or is clubhead straight back?

    Lateral Hip Slide (Forward) -- Setup and Pivot

    Is there a specific way to set up and pivot to avoid a large lateral hip slide. I've been battleing this all summer and I can't correct no matter what I try. I end up with a sore left hip and a sore left ankle after a round or a couple buckets. I don't think I'm doing my body any good and I'm...

    right wrist -- cocking and uncocking

    how does one ensure a backswing with no accidental right wrist cock. I'm thining the ball and just plain whiffing the ground on practice strokes. I think I've traced it back to a cocked right wrist.

    Had some trackman time today

    I'll post the full stats when I get them. The system confirmed that I do indeed swing way out to right field with an open face (about 5 degrees each). Also, the dynamic loft on my driver was about 7 degrees for most swings; I can't stop litting line drives. The session started good but I...

    swinging - focusing on arm/body connection instead of right forefinger pressure

    I've noticed that my % of flips is rather high when I try to concentrate on sensing lag pressure in the right forefinger. It usually causes a right arm early resease. On the other hand, If I focus on getting my hands to the top and simply "staying connected" (#4 pp I think) whilst pivoting...

    Restraining lateral hip slide

    Can minimizing lateral hip slide be equated to swinging more left? I saw Brian a month ago and I've made some nice progress with the "pattern" he gave me. When I do run into trouble it is because I "lunge" left with my lower body. I've found that visualizing a golf shaft stuck into the ground...

    Lesson with Brian -- 5/8/09

    I debated on writing a long essay, but I'll put it in bullets. -New Orleans is a great city! Great food, nice people, lots to do. -English Turn is beautiful and very convenient to/from the city. -Brian is a great guy. He gives it to you straight and doesn't pull punches but also relates to...

    Poor contact with Never Hook Again -- the carry

    I've been working on NHA. I can get the ball to fly straight now, but I've noticed a lack of distance and "clicky" contact unless I really nail "the carry". The hurdle drill helps but only so much. How can I perfect the carry in order to make more satisfying contact?

    On Inconsistency

    Sometimes I hook; I’ll fix that with a more upright backswing and a “follow the yellow brick road” follow-through. Sometimes I shank; same fixes, but with a little bit more “club camera” on the ball (NSA 2). Sometimes I pull. If I’m feeling frisky, I’ll hit a push by accident. Sometimes I’ll...

    Which pattern is best? -- pulls and shanks

    My flip is eliminated. I'm striping the ball now, but also pulling it big time. I've been working on tracing a better plan (I think I am UP now), and that helped for a while. Until.. Saturday when I hit an entire bucket of shanks. I've got all Brian's videos .. which one applies?

    Bought the Tour Striker ... It confirms that I'm not very good. Few questions.

    About me: My miss is a hook. Broke 90 once. 95 is where I typically shot last summer. Ballflight with longer clubs is low. Never Slice Again cured my slice at the beginning of last summer. Problems: I can't get any zip on the ball. I've watched NHA2, and while I can get the ball to go...

    Hitting behind the ball

    I had been having some success with a NHA type swing (hook is my normal miss unless I rotate the clubface open) until recently. Now I am hitting a good 1 or 2 inches behind the ball and hitting everything fat. The result is no distance and sprayed shots. Any suggestions on what to work on...
