    Putting

    Has anyone used Stan Utley's "Learning Curve" or V.J. Trolio's "Putting Arc?" Were they helpful? On the one hand, I love playing with new toys. On the other hand, if putting on an arc is the natural motion, then why would these aids br useful? Also, I just picked up Utley's new book on...

    The pivot

    I've been trying to put my finger on why my downswing pivot looks so different from a good one. After renting one of Ben Doyle's teaching tapes, it seems to me that my pivot is more of a lateral slide or sway into a "soft" left leg (that is when it isn't an even worse spin-out), whereas Ben...

    Retaining the twistaway

    Brian, I'm having some difficulty lately retaining the twistaway from the top into impact. The "movie screen" idea isn't working right now. You usually have 10 ways of explaining the same idea. Can you lay a few alternate images or swing thoughts on me? Thanks, Gumper

    Practice swing vs. real swing

    I may need a psychologist more than I need golf instruction, but here goes anyway. There is a *huge* difference between my practice swing and my actual swing at the ball. On the course, my practice swing will produce a relatively straight and thin divot. My actual swing at the ball will often...

    Lesson with Brian

    I had the pleasure of working with Brian on Long Island today. We worked on : 1. The grip. My right hand was under the club way too much, forcing my arm into a weird contortion on the downswing. Fixing this made a huge difference. 2. Twistaway. It works big time in helping slicers. 3...

    Three days with Brian: Great

    Hi all. This will be the short version, as I just got back and I am exhausted. I spent 3 days with Brian (10 hours total), and I can't speak highly enough about his teaching. I will post more details after the weekend. For now, let me just state that Brian will think of 20 different ways to...

    video camera suggestions?

    I'd appreciate suggestions as to what features are most needed when buying a video camera that will mainly be used for golf. I'd also appreciate recommendations for specific models that are very easy to use, especially in the Panasonic line. I'd like to keep the price under $400. Thank you...

    Fixing common faults

    Brian, I'd be grateful if you'd do a video on fixing common faults, such as an over the top downswing, inconsistent contact (fat and topped shots), etc. I know that these topics have been touched on in various videos, but a video that deals entirely with these typical hacker flaws would be...

    Fixing an off-plane downswing

    I'll never leave hacker land until I fix this. On video, I see that I have the typical hacker's "over the top", too steep downswing. Brian, and other experts, can you please recommend a drill, swing thought or training aid that would help me eradicate this? What I've tried recently has been...

    short game distance control

    I'm a beginner/hacker learning to be a swinger. My green-side chipping has improved since I purchased the "Flipper" DVD, in that I at least make solid contact most of the time. However, I still have a problem with distance control. For longer chips and short pitches, would you suggest that I...
