I watched the Irish Open saw Padraig had a new putter shaft with a brass weight that is supposed to increase the sweet spot. It was tested at Dr Paul Hurrion’s Quintic putting laboratory in England. Does this sound legit. A youtube video of the putter link is below...
I've been having trouble with chip shots and short pitches off of tight or bare lies. I sometimes hit it fat and advance the ball one or two feet and sometimes hit it thin and send it rolling past the pin. I've tried working on aiming point, holding right wrist firm, etc... I'm probably not...
From an article on "The Golf Channel"
Sabbatini is not impressed with Tiger's ball striking and is calling him out, again.
Sabbatini, a pint-sized South African, is not short on confidence, even after calling out Woods last week and losing to him.
"I think he's more beatable than ever,"...
Just finished a quick read on the latest book about the secret of Hogan's swing by Tom Bertrand, which by coincidence is titled "The Secret of Hogan's Swing".
The author does not have a direct connection with Hogan, his connection is that he was an instructor under John Schlee who was a...

When you were at the Masters did you have an opportunity to witness Hank Haney working with Tiger? Watching Tiger's pre-shot routine and practice swings he was obviously looking for some feel or position but I couldn't figure out what he was trying to do or accomplish. To me it...
Shawn Micheel admits that he is taking testosterone because he has abnormally low levels and this was prescribed for him by a doctor. The testosterone his is taking is to just get his levels back to the normal level. However, since he has started taking the testosterone supplements his play...
Here is a link to a Golf Digest article where Butch Harmon evaluates Tiger's new swing and compares it to the one he used in 2000. He says the new swing in no better or worse than his old swing, it's just different and that Tiger has enough ability to swing the club pretty much any way he wants...
Listened to Peter Kessler for a few minutes this morning with guest Jim McClean.
A couple of comments from Jim.
1) He charges $2500 for a 3 hour lesson and is booked solid. Brian you are a bargain.
2) He has new DVD coming out "the power line" He says it describes what all good...
I just picked up a new golf book by Jackie Burke Jr. "It's only a Game." I was not very familiar with his career or teaching before, but after a quick reading I see a number of similarities between his teaching and TGM.
1. Take the club back with the right shoulder.
2. Maintain the...
Brian:
How about a quick video demonstration of how the left wrist cocks on the back swing while the right wrist bend back. I have some trouble in that when I get the right wrist bending back the left wrist bends instead of cocks. [?]
A little blurb I just came across.

MOVING ON:@ Charles Howell III has changed swing coaches, ending a relationship with David Leadbetter that began when he was 12.
Howell now is working with Bryan Mogg, whose clients include Bart Bryant and...
My condolances go out to the Harmon family for the untimely death of Butch's younger brother Dick. Starting with their father, Claude, the Harmon's did a lot to increase the public's awareness and pave the way for the golf instructors of today.
Tonight I watched the Jim McClean show where he analyzed Lee Trevino's golf swing on the golf channel. I found the show interesting, not for Jim McClean's analysis of Lee Trevino's flat spot, but for a couple of segmants where Lee talked about his swing.
The first point Lee made was how he...

Just wanted to offer congratulations to you for your work with David Toms and his outstanding performance in Hawaii. 15 Birdies over the last 2 days, just incredible golf.
Watched the women's US open last week and used my meager knowledge of TGM to categorize the women's swing as either hitting or swinging. The only person I saw that I would put into the hitting camp was Laura Davies, everyone else I thought to be a swinger. Would this be due to lack of...

I was just on Lynn's site and he had a pre-announcement of a 3 day golf school in Georgia, (Aug 26-28) taught by You, i.e the Stallion, Yoda and Ben Doyle. If this is taking place, sign me up now, just let me know the cost and location.[8D]
Brian:
Been working on my hitting action and having problems keeping my left wrist flat on the backswing. I noticed on the Never Slice Again video that you talked about a hinging of the wrists on the backswing with the right elbow folding in. Should this be a conscious move on the...
