In my lessons with Brian, he wants me to get my hands higher at the top. This is because I am often under the plane. As I work on this, I've noticed my ball flights much higher. Is this to be expected (or have I discovered the flip)? Also, my misses are these strange looking very high hooks...

What do you think is the reason this forum exists? Sometimes, I think we get WAAAAY off track. I see: people advertising methods and teaching systems Internet BS- (I carry my driver 300 yards! and I'm a plus 3 HDCP)- yeah right you do Questions about how to execute...

Had another lesson with Brian yesterday. Poor Brian- I get the impression we teaches from early to late, then follows up and posts on this forum. The students were stacked up. Since my last lesson, I guess I kept some of my swing flaws, improved some and added some new swing flaws. What a...

I've had some pretty good success using the idea Brian has in video #6 of throwing a ball sidearm at a ball about a yard past me down the target or straight line plane (hitting). It brings a lot of trigger delay and a good descending blow. I don't believe I get a full swivel finish though. I'm...

One thing I've never seen discussed on here is: How different people try to recover on a bad day. You know- you have no idea where the ball is going, your short game decides to go on vacation and you might even end up letting it effect your putting. I think it's an interesting subject- What do...

I bought a Pure Swing due to Brian's endorsement of this product. The instructions are: practice positions (address, 1/2 way back, top, 1/2 way down, through impact) and chip with it. Any other recommended drills?

Is there a relationship between the strength or weakness of the grip and the position at the top? Does it seem the club wants to balance in a square position and then dictate the wrist (flat, bowed, cupped) by whatever makes the clubface square?

Has anyone come up with either a device or any drills to help ingrain an on-plane backswing? Honestly, none of my friends know what they are looking at, and can't really monitor for me as I practice.

I spent 2 hours with Brian the other day. Is Brian as good as advertised? No, he is much better in person. He knows what you need to do, he knows more ways to get you to do them than you can imagine. Brian worked damn hard to find ways to get me to correctly perform the proper actions to get me...

As I work on my fundamentals, I have come across a swing feeling that I'm unsure of. I feel as if I can hold the lag all the way through impact and longer. This does seem to lead to some thin shots. I can also hold the angle (lag) until my hands are even with or past impact, and then let the...

I'm working on the drills from Confessions of a Former Flipper. I've learned I am not flipping, however my angle of approach is very shallow. If I take a divot at all, it's more of a "bruise" in the grass instead of a divot. I can force my hands to make the angle steeper, but I'm not too sure...

As I continue my "Confessions of a Former Flipper" work, I had a few "A-HA!" moments. Getting good sharp contact gets progressively easier with each two hour daily practice session using the video coupled with Brian's suggestions in the Chipping Yips thread. As I work now on float loading, I had...

I think I may have the yips on short chips. I am working on practicing from Brian's "Confessions of a Flipper". One of the suggested practice drills is chipping by setting the wrists then pivoting. My right hand just stabs at the ball no matter how hard I work on keeping my hands quiet. It's...

There is so much talk of pivot on this site. I apologize in advance for being a neophyte. Can someone explain the pivot in simple terms? I have searched this site several times for Brian's Perfect Pivot article and can't find it. Can anyone point me to it?

I watched the flipper video this weekend. Went to the range and working on the action Brian teaches (flat left wrist and pivot), I hit some very good irons, albeit a little shorter than normal. My driver however was high pulls that were very short. Suggestions?

Why do so many hockey players play golf? I mean, most North American hockey players are from cold weather regions. Also, why do hockey players generate so much distance off the tee?

I have several things I want to work on: proper weight shift on the backswing, proper compression at impact (box drill), proper weightshift on the forward swing. I am not talented enough to work on all three and perform them correctly. How would you recommend approaching these three?

I have worked very hard on lag and making sure my hands stay ahead of the clubhead for two years. My irons shots are crisper and roughly the same distance. I have lost 50 yards on drives, so when I used to have driver 7 iron on a hole, today it's driver and 2 hybrid. My handicap has not gone up...

Can anyone suggest some drills to get back on plane?

I'm under the plane...can you explain how to deliver the club on plane?
