ok, I have a bit of a dilemma, although many people will say"damn, I'd love to have that problem". I'm starting to break into a new scoring area, my last three scores are 72,73,73, and my combined last two back 9's are 67. For the last 3-5 years, I've been a pretty consistent 5-8 handicap...

ok, apparently this is the year of the 3 wood, everything is 17 yards longer. this year, I am in the market for a new hybrid and 3 wood, however, when I go the golf store, they all appear to be huge, like old drivers. Have any of you hit the new pings, taylor mades, adams, etc. and how are they...

I'm not one of those old school guys who believes everyone should be hitting persimmons, balata balls, and old school blades, but damn, Bubba is making Doral look like a 5000 yd course. Almost driving par fours, hitting wedges into par 5's, crazy.. I'm not sure what the answer is, i guess maybe...

ok, I've been following Brian since back in the fgi days, when he first exposed me to the golfing maching, and got me pivoting like crazy with a ton of lag. That data along with many others helped take me from shooting in the mid 90's to getting as low as a 4 handicap this year. However, I...

I'd love to hear Brian, Kevin's, Finney's, or Jacob's thoughts on the recent idea about the release, vs. what many refer to a cp release or more left, as opposed to down the line. I've recently been working on pulling hard with the left elbow , and making sure my arms are staying in tight...

why is it some players play better with a shut face and some with an open face? I've always played with a slightly closed face, and the mix of open versus closed face players that I play with is about even. Of the better players I play with it's about 50/50 on open face to shut at setup...

ok, I'm just about fried on golf right now. I've played a lot this year, most any year, close to 70 rounds, and have practiced hard getting my index down to a 4. Problem is I'm burned out, don't really feel like playing, however, I have this fear of getting worse. I know you never stay the...

That's it, after putting like a dog again this week, and watching Webb bang in putts from all over the place, I'm getting a belly putter. I'll catch hell from my buddies, but I'm taking the leap...

Thought this was interesting. First time I can remember a tour player calling out another player's coaches, although it's hard to disagree with his comments. Rocco Mediate says Tiger Woods needs to fix his swing - ESPN

Just wondering why nobody has this type of finish anymore, Jack, Seve, weiskopf, watson, Miller, so many guys played well. I know modern teaching likes more rotation, but I would assume this type of move would still work for a lot of players.

ok, need a drill to help me out. How do you work on getting some axis tilt and still swing left. When I focus on getting some tilt, which I need to stay on plane, I have a tendency to hang back on the right side and swing out to right field. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Probably lost in the great PGA tournament was that on the Sr. Skins game, 71 year old Jack and 61 year old Watson won again. Beating guys like Couples, Price, Langer, etc. Jack was still hitting some great irons shots.

ok, it's that time of the year again, getting cold, balls are getting hard, frost delays, wind, and muddy lies. Here's my questions. 1. What are your keys for keeping a manageable score on bad weather days 2. For those with handicaps, do you think you should be allowed to post scores in the...

I noticed a lot of very good golfers with a strong grip who chicken wing. Included in this list is Arnold Palmer, Jim Thorpe, Lee Westwood, Jamie Sadlowski, and Tommy Gainey. I know it's not the prototype and many people view a chicken wing as a swing fault, but for a person who likes to play...

Ok, I've been looking at a lot of video lately, Hogan, Knudson, Snead, woods, trevino, etc. etc. One thing I've noticed is that there are a lot of different ways to hit a golf ball well, but one thing I have not seen is a very strong right hand grip(ie: for a right hander, the right hand more...

ok, I've been on this site for a long time and have learned a tremendous amount. I have bought several of Brian's videos attended an in person camp, and had a private lesson with him. I have seen Brian migrate from a TGM based philosophy, to his current modernized science based approach. So my...

Quick question for you coaching guru's out there. Does a more upright posture typically lead to a flatter(more around) swing plane and a more bent over posture result in a more upright swing plane? I guess what I'm wondering if is you have a person who has some pop out, flattens out the swing...

Lately, I've been working on getting more on plane(bad tendency to overroll the left arm flying wedge and get way too flat). Anyway, the split hand drill has really helped me make a better takeaway, and I sometimes even hit balls this way. I actually don't notice much of a difference in my ball...

OK, for some time, I've been a pretty handsy player. I'm trying to develop a motion that is more pivot driven, in an effort to develop a more consistent clubface at impact, and quiet the hands. I'm trying to work on maintaining a flat left wrist all the way through the swing, but lose it...

ok, my ball striking (thanks to this site) is pretty solid. I am focused this off -season on improving my game from a 100 yards in. For some reason my chipping and pitching absolutely suck, skulls, fats, you name it. So here are my questions. When Chipping and pitching: 1. Is it a left arm...
