Ok, with what we are learning about D plane, does this change the way we should use our hands in the golf swing. for the past few years, I've really tried to maintain a flat left wrist and do a pretty good job at it, I roll the left arm through impact, as opposed to unbending the right wrist...

I think it would be interesting to see how trackman would measure the accuracy of shut faced players (duval, Inkster,Trevino,Weekley, Olazabal, Parrnevik) versus more open faced players. It seems historically shut/or less opened faced players have been very good iron strikers, I wonder if...

Ok, with everything we've learned about D Plane does Swing plane and the line golf instructors love to draw really matter anymore. I mean clubface controls 85% of direction, so if you control the clubface pretty well, you're plane can be off, a little over or a little under, but who cares if...

I was messing around at the range yesterday and was fighting my typical underplane/shut face balls going left problem, when me and another guy at the range started talking about Moe Norman We started discussing his setup and how he set the driver sometimes as far as a foot behind the ball on...

Ok, I'll be the first to post the results and mine were not good. We had 18 guys, a little light this year, usually we have 20-25. Last year, I was in the top ten, this year, I finished 12. My scores were all between 82-85. Just so you know the course is a par 72 around 6900 yds. Now that...

ok, for those of you with significant tournament experience, how do you go about preparing for a major tournament. For a lot of us club championship time is starting to come around and want to get your ideas around what you do to peak at the right time. What is your practice routine, do you...

I played with a guy at our club last night, he's about 5'6 160 lbs and flat our hit the ball a mile. 480 yd par four he cut the corner and went driver pitching wedge. What was interesting was his preferred shot, he played what I would call a trap draw. He's set up with a closed clubface aimed...

I'd like to hear some analysis of this swing by some of the swing guru's on this site. Why is it effective and what are the pro's and cons of his motion. Check out around 2:02 of the clip

I've been scoring ok lately, and hitting greens and fairways to a decent degree, however, somehow I lost some of my compression, just haven't been striking my irons the way I use too. So I thought about when I struck my irons the best and it was with a twistaway and turn pattern. All I do is...

I first heard Lee's comments and I was laughing, then I started thinking and thought, damn, if Lee could teach Tiger to his his controlled fade, he might be right, Tiger would be unbelieveably tough to beat. Lee, may not have all of the teaching credentials of a Hank or Harmon, but he beat it...

Now, I don't know exactly how accurate they are, but I was at the PGA superstore and noticed I have a remarkably high spin rate with the driver. Here was the numbers it was giving me. Swing Speed 95-106 range Launch angle- 14-16 degrees Carry- 240-250 spin rate 3600 on the low end to 5200 on...

I have a question for those equipment affectionados out there. I'm beginnning to think I would like to go back to a smaller headed driver. I rip my thee wood really well and started thinking that my three wood is probably the same size that drivers use to be, why not just get a driver about the...

well, for the first time ever, I'm actually going to get custom fitted for a new set of irons. I figure somebody needs to get this economy going. Anyway, the clubfitter I've chosen uses trackman technology to assist in getting you fit correctly. Has anyone else here done this? If so, are...

I know there is a lot of discussion on this board and others regarding the lead hand grip. However for me, I've found that when I get going left it's more a product of a strong trail hand grip getting me in trouble. If I want to hit a fade, I'm working the ball now by getting my right hand...

I've been using the lagging clubhead takeaway in conjunction with the soft draw pattern. I only use it with a 7 iron- driver, as anything shorter and sometimes I lag the hosel. 1-2 times a round when using LCT, I'll get a big snapper left. It almost feels as if the club bounces slightly at the...

Can someone give me some information on how much lie angle matters? I'm pretty short, 5'6, and choke down on all of my irons about an inch to two inches. Do I really need irons that are 2 degrees flat, or by choking down, am I effectively changing the lie of the club? I'm thinking of trading...

Ok, for all of the golf instructors on this site. Let's say you have a golfer who is a single digit handicap, pretty fair player, and better than average striker of the ball. 1. He tells you that he is not too concerned about distance and just wants to consistently hit the fairway. do you...

Can somebody give me the science behind what happens with a strong vs. a weak trailing hand grip(right hand for a right handed golfer). Maybe I'm wrong, but for me, the stronger my right hand grip the more likely I am to flip, and also I feel like I have to use the hands more to square the...

I don't know how many of you watched the golf channel's "Tee it up with Tiger", but if you did, I wonder if you found it as funny as I did. I wasn't sure if I was more amazed by how absolutely fantastic Anthony Kim's swing is, or if I was more amazed by how little he knew about the golf swing...

Ok, I don't want to name names of other teachers and their theories, but I'd like to get your ideas around the "rotary swing", quite honestly it sounds a lot to me like Brian's ideas around swing more left....
