    more on the pivot

    Brian mentions and seems to be a big advocate of the right leg straightening some on the back swing. Thinking about it and doing some stuff in the mirror, let me know if this makes sense. If the right knee does not straighten some then the base of the spine will have to lower during the...

    why is it

    that some instructors talk about level hip turn? in the set up we bend from the hips so the hips have primary axis tilt, well they rotate on this axis. So why do some say level hip turn or hips are level?

    I dont know why

    I am working on just a few things in my swing. The pivot, role of the arms and set up. Working on the pivot is easy so no problem there. but the biggest problem I am having is set up. I got the grip good but what I do not like is my tush line at address. My butt sticks out behind my heels...

    in a STT

    I dont hear much about the role of the left hand heal pad pushing down on the butt end of the shaft to get the club to set on the way back. In doing this wouldnt it take care of extensor action? The left hand only swing, which Daly does pretty well with, does the exact thing

I would be interested in some opinions from here becuase for golf discussion this is the best place on the net that I have seen. I ask one thing, let...

    I tried to read

    from a golf magazine website. and i tried to read what an instructor was saying but I could not bring myself to read the whole article on two of his articles and gave up from there. First he says the swing bottoms out below the sternum so chip shots should be behind the center of the chest...

    use a lagging clubhead takeawy, what are the drawbacks? a buddy of mine uses it and strikes it VERY pure and very long. his only issue is he sometimes gets outside of his right foot on the take away. does a lagging make chipping more difficult?

    about the pivot center

    when you rotate around the base of the spine pivot center, during the initial shift back onto the right side, isnt this moving the pivot center as well. so where/when is the pivot center established? is it after the intial shift?

    in the book

    does tgm have more then one pivot? I have looked in my book and only noticed one style which is head centered (what is the name for that again?) I did not notice a pivot that rotates around the spine but maybe I have not looked through it enough.

    serigios backswing? How does he get that club head to come up so high? it looks like is he actively pushing with the fat pad of his left hand. his hands at address are also very low. now his swing looks a lot like hogan but hogan did not take the club back near as steep did he?

    freeing up the head on the backswing

    in effort to get rid of my lunge I have realized that my head stays perfectly still in the backswing and does not move offf the ball or rotate around the base of neck. When I first saw this last night I started lookiing at many different days that I have taped in the past, head always stayed...

    a little question on pivot

    Bman, says that he likes the rear leg to straighten a little on the back swing. is that because the rear butt cheek rotates behind the golfer a little more and gets a little closer to the target, and pulls the knee with it. Maybe that is hard to understand, to put it another way. if you...

    left wrist at the top

    I had a conversation with an instructor and he told me about how there are some golfers that are cupped at the top, and the advantages of it. So, being inquisitive as I am I started looking at some pictures. From the photos that I saw it looks like Ernie els seems to have a slight cup going...
