I have a problem right now, in particular with the driver of my lower body firing too early. Result is my right elbow gets caught behind my right hip instead of being in front. Only thing I can do from that position is to hit a block cut or release the hands early and snap hook. Any ideas on...

I have heard many say Jack Nicklaus was an angled hinge swinger. If that is the case, what would be the appropriate execution of this motion. I'm guessing one would setup slightly open and try to pull the ball, in an effort to play for the typical fade motion of an angled hinge?? Any thoughts...

Can someone speak to hip motions impact on ball flight. My understanding is there are two basic hip motions, rotational(swingers motion) and lateral (hitters motion). How do these hip motions relate to hinge action. Meaning, if I have a rotational hip action with an angled hinge, typically would...

I was at the range today and was just watching a row of people hit. What I noticed was that I might have seen 1/20 or so that really made a turn, the majority swayed on and off the ball instead of turning. I wonder how many other mistakes like flipping, hanging back, etc. are the result of...

I'm a lucky guy, I have a six year old boy who loves to play golf and go to the range. I have no idea how to teach him. So I'm looking for some help. Right now the main things we focus on is putting and chipping(primary focus is keeping the hands in front of the ball and avoiding the dreaded...

I'm beginning to believe this motion is one of the most under appreciated motions in TGM. My cousin played 1 year on the tour and played at San Diego St. in college. Playing and Speaking to him recently his motion is a strong left hand grip, almost an axe handle motion with an angled hinge...

Brian, or anybody else on here for that matter, since most of you know way more than I do. After watching the Schaffaer video I decided to attempt some float loading today(poor effort I might add). What happened to me was everthing was high fade to the right, just didn't feel like I could get...

I have to laugh. I was reading some posts on FGI and a lot of the people there have apparently purchased the David Leadbetter SwingSetter. Now they are all casting in an effort to pop that ball back into place and teach proper release:) I truly believe the worse term in golf is "release". To...

Lately I've been struggling maintaining lag. I can tell my ball contact just isn't solid and I think I'm getting a leakage hook. Question I have, I've been extremely hands focused and think I might have been underrating the importance of pivot on maintaining lag. I believe I am swaying too...

Has anyone seen much video of Bubba Watson. Golf Magazine had an article on him this month. I had never heard of him and had no idea how long the guy was. What was particularly interesting to me was the amount of right wrist bend(aka Hogan esque) maybe even more. However, beautifully flat at...

Brian made a comment to me in Canton that I was peforming an angled hinge swing(I was naturally a hitter). Brian being the instructor he was didn't focus on hitting or swinging, but more on ball flight and what I needed to do to score. I've actually gone to a swinging motion on almost all shots...

I'm slow, but two thing in Canton have starte to sink in. One, "shake the sugar" has really started to work. I'm really compressing the ball well right now. Only one problem, I'm getting a lot of right to left. So to correct the hook, I started "throwing the drunk off my back" and it started...

Two problems I consistently have that I have to work on, 1: Hip sway, both going back and coming forward 2: Ball position, I have a tendency to get the ball too far back in my stance. My question is what impact these two items may have on my ability to create lag. For one it seem that when I...

don't know what's wrong, but I'm losing lag. I use to have that slow heavy wrecking ball feeling, but now it's just gone, no lag or pop in my swing. Anybody got a quick fix... I feel like the lower part of my right hand(right handed golfer) just keeps taking over

I've caught myself glued to the TV at night watching these ladies. It's incredible to me how accurate they are. Both in hitting fairways and greens. I'm beginning to think the women actually have better technique than the men, just not the natural strength. Future of women's golf looks really...

I must admit it couldn't have happened to a better guy. For Doyle to win the Senior US Open was an amazing achievement, and shooting 63 the final round unreal... I believe he was driving the ball around 245 all day, just proves you don't have to be long or have a picture perfect swing to play...

I just read this on Chuck Evans golf swing. Theoretically it may be correct, but if everyone tried to speed up thir backswing, I believe it might wreck havoc.. Thoughts "YOUR hands are the belt and any attempt to speed them up in the downstroke changes what's called the "surface speed" of the...

I know on this website there is a ton of great information regarding the mechanics of the swing and how to execute it. My question is to Brian or to anyone else, is how should you go about practicing and how do you get the most out of your practice time. Ex: Do the pro's go through the entire...

Ok many of you have read my struggles with hooking the ball. For several years how I have dropped under plane and hit with a horizontal hinge(bad stuff) resulting in a hook. My divots have always been straight or slightly out and angled at the end(as if the face had shut). I never could seem to...

Ok, I'm working on both swinging and hitting, trying to learn both, seperately to make sure I don't mix components. Can one of the experts out there give a quick list of the components of each in layman's terms...Ex: Hitting Open Stance Cross-line hipslide Right forearm thrust etc.etc...
