Brian: What do you think of her swing? Your favorite instrutor, Leadbetter is teaching her. How would you improve her swing? Tx

Geometry of the Circle, 2-N-0 Clubhead Line of Sight . Well I never really noticed the second page of this section. Well its pretty illuminating. "Proper Clubhead control is dependent on coordinating the Downstroke Hip Turn with the selected Right Elbow Position(10-3), Motion(6-B-1) and Path...

First time at the range since Golf Tip Hindenburg last Friday. No permanent harm done on the power front. Lots of pulls however, and vicious hooks with the driver. Love the distance, but being 30 yds off target to the left can't be good, even if predictable. I do detect the blur of my clubhead...

BAH HUMBUG!!! or the Grinch That Stole My Golf Swing I've been visited by the Ghosts of CHristmas golf tips past and present. Yesterday, I was told I need more hip turn and less slide. Today, another guy told me my ball placement was too forward and my swing needed to bottom out behind the...

I've been given advice at the range three times this year by strangers. First, the worst ballstriker ever ( I kept retrieving his mi**** fairway woods shots which kept rolling in front of me from the next stall...sheesh)advised me to have more knee bend. Ignore. Second, another advised me that...

I am starting to really get it. First working on the pivot from the ground up. Now correcting a deceptively faulty right forearm flying wedge. For the past 2 days indoors, I worked on not cocking my right wrist. That's correct, the right wrist had been cocking all this time, but had gone...

Perhaps my best day with the driver. I've been lately working more on my pivot, targeting the feet, knees and hips. Maintain knee bend on both the basckswing and downswing, roll onto inside of right foot and heel on downswing, rotate weight to left heel. Past 2 days, I lifted and stretched my...

I feel PP#3 accepting indirect lag only at the beginning of the downswing and post impact. Its absence after startdown makes it useless for monitoring the downswing. However I have had success using PP#1 for monitoring indirect lag, as a swinger. Any cons to using PP#1 this way as a swinger...

Brady: Thank you for your site, especially that section on the backswing pivot. The details about the right knee rotating away from the target while maintaing knee flex were in the back of my mind for months, but I didn't try to incorporate those things until 4 days ago. Boy what a differnce it...

Near the end of today's telecast, one of the commentators talked about VJ's extensive library of golfing books ,and stated VJ studies and reads a lot about golf instruction. Brian , Yoda or Brady, does Toms or any of your pro students know VJ and know if he has read TGM and picked up anything...

I strike the ball better if it feels my left wrist is snapping(unconsciously) at release because of a steeper , linear path of the hands.Narrow instead of wide. Heck, maybe I am even performing a left wrist throw trigger release. However, I also strike the ball better if it feels like my left...

Where in the downstroke is PP#1 released? At release point well before impact, or does one still feel it ahead of the ball at and post-impact?

I had better success yesterday not using my usual mid body hands setup. I set up with my hands positioned a lot more forward , using the natural forward lean built into the 5 iron, while keeping my hips and shoulders square. Hit a few great shots. Better than I had struck the ball in half a...

This morning, for the last 20-30 balls, I worked on keeping the right thigh angle constant as I striaghtened my leg and rotated my hip back. For visual references, I imagined the photos on Redgoat's site about the backswing, and remembered some photos in Brian's article on the backswing...

Something has always seemd very non TGm of the pros' right wrist at post impact and to followthrough. Looks like the right wrist has flattened to either less bent back, or flat. Look at Vj. Heck, look at Tiger and Els according to the Flick( aka Satan to the some here) article in Golf digest...

My best ball striking occured last autumn after reading McTeigue's book and Hebron's DVD, months before obtaining TGM. The only swing thoughts I had were lift my arms and turn my body on the backswing, and strike the inside corner of the ball on the downswing as hard as comfortably possible...

I remember Dana Quigley's swing on the Golf Channel archives, and he barely had a backswing, due to a childhood accident. Perhaps his arms only got barely to chest high. Maybe only waist high..don''t exactly remember. Yet he was the longest hitter on the Senior Tour. Anyone know if he is a...

Once a upon a time, in a golfing galaxy far far away...... All this time, although I was trying to aim, thrust, pull, whatever, my right shoulder at the ball, I was apparently doing it all incorrectly. I took the instruction of "back and down" and putting the right shoulder into the right...

I don't have any difficulty rotating my lower body through ,with wedges up to mid irons. However, I feel my legs and hips are stuck with long irons and woods. Can't rotate, and feel I am lunging. My right knee has zero chance of touching the left knee unless I lift up my right leg. The inside of...

More fun tinkering with my swing. I've been attempting the rope handle technique of pulling longitudinally on the lubshaft by pulling the butt end of the club at the target/plane line where the butt end points. Using a pen flashlight, that point is around 6-7 ft to the right of the ball...
