    Spinning the Ball

    I am a mid single digit HC and rarely spin the ball back on the green, yet these pros spin the crap out of it. Do the pros do something that different at impact, or is it mainly the tour greens????

    How in the crap does this happen????

    Ok, so I am fresh off a great week of ball striking and scoring on some very difficult courses from our annual golf trip. I come home and hit a half bucket of shanks at the range and promptly cancel my weekend tee times. Now, I know what causes shanks, and I know enough about my swing to...

    Swing thought/drill that has helped a lot

    Hey guys I just wanted to pass this along to you underplaners specifically. After another up and down spring I called Brian about 1 month ago and we just visited about some ideas in general. He encouraged me to spend some time doing the back and forth drill, which I did diligently. My tempo...

    Do you guys wash your grips???

    I have heard that to tacky them up a bit, wash them. Wash them with what? Just warm soap and water and let them air dry? Any thoughts?

    How do you putt?

    I mean, how do you putt the right way? It seems like a stupid question, but I am curious how the better putters/players on this site putt. I have always considered myself an average-slightly above average putter, but I don't make as many 5-6-10 footers as I think I should. I don't 3-putt much...

    Sergio the Baby

    Sergio has got to be the biggest whiner I have seen in a long time. Anyone catch his comments about Augusta last on GC? ‘Augusta isn’t fair’ ‘It’s a trick and I never know what to hit even from the middle of the fairway’ ‘I don’t like it’ They interviewed Harrington after that and he was...

    Swing Sequence and Counterfall

    Reading the thread about Furyk’s Trackman results I got to thinking, are all these plane shifts, moves, delays, shakes, carries, pauses, etc, just motions the arms do while they wait for the hips to counterfall? I have been tinkering and trying to better understand my swing and have observed the...

    LCT and swaying

    Anyone have trouble with this? My sequence is as follows: -step on right foot, club to the top -left shoulder forward and under the chin (toward target) -pull downish left hand with a little 'toss' I was hitting it very solid and 'fadey' ,but lately I am hitting everything higher and shorter...

    High Speed Camera

    Can someone please give me a frame of reference on speed for a new camera. How many frames per second do I need to film swings? How many fps is swingvision? How many fps is Brian's camera that he filmed Kevin on? I can spend $200-$400 max. Thanks JB

    Speed and Mechanics

    My best ball striking and scoring occurs when I swing at about 70-75% of my capability. Swinging this way I can play to a 4-5. The only problem is I hate hitting the ball 145 yds with a 7 iron when I should/could be hitting it 155-160 as I have in the past. BTW I ususally can swing full out...

    How much does the cold hurt distance?

    I played Sunday in 38, yes 38 degrees. My irons were at least a club short. Now, I have not played in weather that cold in over a decade, but I was not expecting that. I wasn't hitting everything great, but not bad either. What gives?

    Low Left Shoulder Longer in Downswing

    Can we revisit this topic or expand on what we have started. My biggest challenge with it is doing it without getting in front of the ball and sticking the club in the ground. I know left side bend is one key, what are some others?

    Toughest Question of the Year

    Ok, here is a quick back story: Single digit player and reforming hooker who has fought BPS and the hosel for 3-4 years when I am playing bad. I have been to see Brian 2 times and have improved a lot, but I can’t shake these periods where BPS comes back. I have never been able to feel...

    Woods are sweet and irons of the heel.....

    What am I missing here? Woods are in the middle of the face or a little toe-ish and every other iron is off the heel. :mad:

    I have a super duper hard question

    How does hitting the ball with my right thumb off the club keep me on plane? I know that it keeps me behind the sweetspot, but that seems to me a clubface control drill. I have a habit of adding axis tilt too ealry in the downswing and getting underplane and under the ss, so when I can't keep...

    Left Side Bend

    Wow, is this a hard thing to get down if you don't do it every day. :mad: BTW, BMan, you had posted a video on this in a thread, but it never worked. Can you post it up again?????

    Too much hip slide on the downswing

    Mornin’ boys, I have always had a problem with too much hip slide in the downswing and getting in front of the ball. My second lesson with Brian confirmed that. I have played about 7 rounds since that last lesson and I am gradually moving too much again and my striking is suffering. What are...

    They are selling crazy at the PGA Superstore

    I can’t remember if I posted this or not. I was in Dallas over the July 4 weekend and had the opportunity to go the PGA Superstore to get my putter bent. Well, while I was there, I wanted to get my driver swing speed tested so I got set up on one of their simulators. Keep in mind I now play a...

    My Move to the Middle

    To follow up on Doubled's praise of 'moving to the middle', I have a story and I know how all you boyz love a good story. In June I went to see Brian in Louisville, after nine months of de-junking my hook we moved me to the middle. I returned and hit a couple buckets and joined a friend of...

    Where do you look for more speed????

    I played with a guy this past weekend whom I give 2 shots. I was amazed because he is built like me 5’10/ 205 and hits the driver 25 yards by me and is a club longer in irons. He hits a 52’ 125 yards! I get him with short irons and on the greens but I couldn’t help but wonder how the hell he...
