    Reverse C

    What is the "reverse C"? Is it the look of a golfer from behind who reverses his head back to the target at the top of the backswing. Or is it the look from the left of the golfer after finish e.g. Vijay Singh. I've always heard the reverse C is a bad thing. What and why?

    Putting Tempo

    I have not yet had a lesson from Brian on putting, so I pose the question of whether the stroke tempo should be back and through at the same consistent speed, or whether there should be an acceleration of the putterhead through impact.

    Ok. I have posted my swing. The site is PASSWORD protected and the password is "SWING". It will also provide you access to an album my wife made for me for father's day, but you can disregard that. Here it is: http://ktsmith.neptune.com/?selectedalbum=ktsmith54139 Be nice. Arch...

    PGA tour qualification

    This issue may be out of place for this forum, but I need some help. I am an attorney and I have a client investor who wants to put up some cash to sponsor an up-and-coming professional golfer. I meet with him later this week for our initial consultation. My first goal is to have a productive...

    Release v. Swivel

    I'm an attention hog, so I had to post another topic. Anyway, wanted to see how you guys define 'releasing' the club. I concentrate on 'swiveling' my bent right wrist on follow-thru, maintaing the bend, and showing the target my arched left hand before I 'unswivel' to finish position. Prior to...

    Grip Action

    TGM says proper grip action is strong single action where both wrists are vertical. Further, it advocates a bent right wrist and a flat left wrist. However, if you bend a vertical right wrist, the vertical left wrist arches. (simple test- clap your hands together in front of you, then bend your...

    checkpoints

    What are some good, realiable check points in the swing? e.g., I see some people take the backswing back to waist level (parallel) and check to see if the toe points to the sky. Is that a proper position with strongle single action grip?

    Address

    I went through a rough couple weeks fighting the notorious random shanks, a/k/a el hoselo. I'd pure a 3-iron 230 yards, hit a couple pushes or pulls, then top it all off with a nice demoralizing shank. I repeated this process for seemingly 30 buckets of range ball over the course of 3...

    Clampett's wrists on backswing

    Looking at those pictures of Clampett's swing with the analysis by Homer, his left wrist looks bent on the backstroke at waist-level and his right wrist seems to be arched. It this observation correct, and, if so, is it recommended procedure? Archie

    Left wrist

    For weeks I've been working on not bending my left wrist on the backswing and was able to easily accomplish it once I got my right elbow in place. However, I filmed my swing today and my left wrist was too arched. I tinkered around with it a bit and tried to get my left wrist to cock, too. See...

    rock rolling

    In Brian's article, "Rolling the Rock" he explains that the proper putting stroke is a curved arc. My question is where is the fulcrum in all of this? Is it constant or does it shift up or down or side-to-side? Does the putter head get further off the ground as the backswing gets longer? What...

    Extensor

    With the help of Brian, I've been trying to make my right arm do what it is supposed to do on the backswing. Before, I would pinch/fold it in behind my back. Brian provided me with some great visuals, but I ask that he remind me of a few and I ask for some of you guys to give me a one or two...
