Apparently I'm very inspired to post topics these last couple days. I guess its because I have been mimicking different tour players' styles in an effort to see if something clicks with me. I bought Hogan's 5 Lessons a couple of days ago and have read it twice now. Pretty good stuff. I believe...

How does this swing not cause a hook? Arched wrist with a strong grip and flat swing plane would cause me to hook a ball like waffle house hashbrowns-- scattered, smothered, and covered. http://www.megspace.com/sports/moetown/videos/trevino_back_clip.html Arch

I was wandering how TGM would catalog the effect of different shaft flexes on impact. The goal is to strike the inside aft quadrant of the ball with a stressed shaft, right? So can't one achieve maximum compression with maximum shaft bending? Even in my throwaway days, my ball speed was clocked...

Read Golf Magazine today-- little article on a study wherein they took statistical samples from two groups- one hitting while keeping head down and eyes on the ball and one keeping eyes on the hole/target spot. Second group did better. So I immediately practiced it on the putting green and went...

Any of you lag the clubhead to the inside aft-quadrant of the ball even out of deep rough? I get better results with a deliberate PULL shot from over the top. Arch

Why does Duvall suck now? How do you go from #1 to missing every cut?

Anyone just see Trevor Immelman on Golf Academy Live say that Leadbetter teaches him to make the clubhead outrace the grip? Is Leadbetter anti-lag?

Bogied 4 out of the last 5 holes today to break 80 for the first time this year and to shoot 78 from the tips (7100 yards, Par 72). I got nervous when I thought I was going to shoot 74 or 75 and choked. But I owe ALL of it to our dear friend Brian Manzella and you guys on this forum. - Good...

What are the pros and cons of using a WEAK WEAK WEAK grip? Today I experimented with using a grip that left the clubace so open at address that I had to rotate my left arm with every fiber of my being to square the club face at impact. I literally hit two drives 320 yards- no kidding. It was as...

I hit the ball utterly fantastic today by making sure that I finished so strong that I re-wrapped the club around my body at the end so much that I could see it pointing back at the target line with my right eye peripheral vision just before I recoiled. I would make sure that I saw the club head...

Isn't one of the basic premises of TGM that one always desires to achieve maximum compression? If so, why? Some guys have a lot of feel with their hands and excel with their touch. I am a much better tennis player than golfer and I use my wrists like crazy to 'flip' the ball with HEAVY...

Brian, I can, (at least in slow motion), mimick the top of your swing (like in your signature posts) in a mirror. In doing so, I cock my flat left wrist and it creates roughly an even right angle between the clubshaft and my left forearm. However, I played Ben Doyles' swing on your site and I...

I think I'm decent now. In the past, I've had aberrations where I hit the ball well with my swing thought of the week, but alas it would always deteriorate. But the last swing thought has worked for several weeks. I only think to achieve maximum left wrist cock at the top and to maintain that...

Is there a TGM equivalent for Tennis? I'm much better at tennis than golf, but have never really thought about my tennis stroke in years. I do keep a bent right wrist on my forehand.

Last round I hit 10 snappers off the tee. Ten. Had to freaking re-tee hitting 3 on seven of those times resulting in a cool 101. My previous round of 81 had actually been displeasing at the time since it consisted of five 3-putts and two chili-dips. I had been in the low-to-mid 80's for about a...

You know that Medicus swing aid that has that hing that breaks when you have a swing flaw. Is it TGM compliant? It would seem that it would break with the right forearm pickup takeaway instead of the commonly taught one-piece, slow & low takeaway. Also, wouldn't it break with the 'twistaway'? Arch

Hey guys, Can you tell me if my pivot is ok here: (Password = SWING) http://ktsmith.neptune.com/index.html?selectedalbum=ktsmith66764 My set up is a little off, but there's an incline where I'm standing. Arch

Any tips on fighting an upper body lunge? I slide targetward on the downswing and can't fight it. Arch

I'll be going to Destin for vacation this week. Anybody know of any AI's down there?- don't mean to cheat on you Brian, but its my vacation man! Arch

What degree should each of your feet be "fanned" out at address? Reason I ask is that I was reading Redgoat's Fundamentals about the backswing pivot and he speaks of the angle form by the right thigh when the right knee fans out, but with a 90 deg. straight right foot, I cannot perform this...
