    Terminology Question for Brian, Kevin, Jim, Damon etc.

    I have been scouring the archives for some help with underplane/sequencing and have run across some phrases I would like some clarification on: ‘on your left foot so quickly’ ‘your hips start running away from you’ 'your hips start taking off down the fairway' ‘opening your hips before you have...

    Do you guys ‘actively’ bump the left hip as your first move down?

    I hate the phrase that ‘it should just happen’, because it clearly doesn’t for me as I unwind too early. I notice that a whole lot of room opens up when I bump the hip left. I have notice the following since adding this to my pattern: 1. Really improved contact. 2. Really easy to draw/hook...

    Another 'hips' question....

    I have been searching lately for 'my cure' for underplane and I tried something the other day that brought about some good results. I added more 'sit' to my first move down. This immediately created a whole bunch of room to swing left and improved the strike. I think I hit my first on purpose...

    Question about sweetspot control

    I have often read here that some better players 'feel' or 'monitor' their #3 pp. I have been working on 'catching' #3 pp at transition to cure some recent struggles. It is almost like I wait for it at the top and when I catch it, I go to the ball. Keeps me closed at counterfall and helps me...

    Question about Soft Draw

    This is probably a really dumb question, but when I hear 'tumble the club' I think of the 'toss' from SD. Are these the same thing or at least similar?

    I Can't Figure This Out!

    I Can't Figure This Out! Updated with Video My practice at the range on a given day is as follows: 10 swings with some carry/left side bend, swing left, good contact, lower trajectory, 145-150 yards straight shot to baby fade. 10 swings with no conscious carry /left side bend, swing less...

    I thought I remembered reading that as a possibility.

    Help me get into summer shape

    Every spring I struggle to get the swing going and it follows the same pattern: I start swaying in front of the ball and get real steep in an effort to carry my arms, when I stop swaying and 'sit down' properly, I have clubface issues due to overtorquing the left arm. Somewhere around early...

    The 'Real' Backswing

    I can not tell you guys how much getting a more 'in' handpath has improved my contact. I have not hit a shot off the heel since May and for me that is sayin alot. Now, I still get underplane sometimes, but the contact is still 1000% better than it ever was even on a bad shot. I am just amazed...

    Casio FC-100 Question

    I know we have talked a lot about cameras, but I want one of these to film my swing. It advertises HD movie capability and slow motion. What do you film a swing in? Picture mode and slow it down? MOvie mode and slow it down? Does it matter? When I load it into windows media player, am I...

    Putting on Really Fast Greens

    I usually play on greens that are about 9-10, which I would call medium fast. I am really good at this speed. Sunday I played my Dad’s club and the guy there said they were probably a 13. OMG!!!!!!! Five 3 putts later, I was ready to kill myself. Good grief I couldn’t get the ball to stop...

    Help me pick a golf ball

    I have driver swing speed of 97-100 ish and am a 4 HC. I usually play prov1, nike1 and callaway tour balls but I am tired of paying $40-$45. I like the Bridgestone e6+, TM Burner TP and these Wilson 50 compression balls because they are so soft and cheap. Am I really going to lose anything by...

    Driver Woes

    I need some help figuring out my driver. After a dream summer of playing golf, I am starting to have driver problems. I am pull-drawing the driver and 3 wood too much now. My irons are the best they have ever been and they are straight-soft draw, but the last three rounds the tee box has cost...
