Ping is having a demo day in my neighborhood Friday. Bringing trackman with them. I'm looking forward to getting on it and finding out my personal digits ! I'm gonna get a copy to keep so I can have on file. I notice the pros seem to really be launching it low these days 10-12 degrees of...

I was watching golf last night and see that Ernie Els is trying to make his backswing shorter. Man he was hitting some great iron shots. Does anybody think shorter is better? Not Doug Sanders short if you remember him.

I joined a club last year that has some pretty good rough. Can you give us the Manzella playing out of rough pattern ? I'm talking shots of any where from 130 - 170 yards to the green.

I use impact fix at address because I've been doing it for a long time now. Does impact fix work with the SD 1.0 pattern? It really gives me fits on the wedges.

Does the Chicken Wing make it impossible to get the clubface closed ?

Could someone post the link to this thread. I've spent over an hour looking for it. Has to do on how to aim.

What causes falling off balance? I notice that at times during a round I'll fall towards the ball. This just absolutely will ruin the shot. Causes and Effects ?

I'm the poster child for Pop Out. After implementing the SD 1.0 pattern I'm really striking the ball well with DRAW.Getting rid of the Pop Out. My question is chipping.I've used an open stance and have Pop Out even on my chips.My chipping has been really inconsistant and basically pathetic...

I'm hitting some quick hooks with the driver on SD 1.0. For the last 18 months I have struggled hanging the driver out to the right. Watching SD 1.0 has changed that and I'm happy. What has helped me the most is the inside of my left elbow because I used to almost see my point. I'm not...

The old adage is.....chip like you putt. Well I putt with both thumbs down the shaft with reverse overlap grip. When I chip with this grip I can't seem to get enough acceleration and I'll flub it or hit it dead right.That is from a good lie. Tougher lie forget about it. Any thoughts?

If on your backswing you open the clubface 30 degrees, how hard is it to get it back to square? Does this make it harder to play this way?

What would be good numbers on a Vector type machine for swing path and clubface angle to produce a draw? How about a fade? I've got a guy telling me 8 degrees inside-out swing path with a 6 degree open face would be ideal numbers to try and achieve and this would create a draw. Does this...

Recently alot of concrete time honored swing tenets have been smashed by Brian as myths.I'm not argueing. I'm just trying to get comfortable with the ideas. So one of the first ones is "getting that left shoulder as far away at impact from the ball".Now I always thought this as a hackers worst...

With all the talk ,about seeing a lot of players swinging too much right, I wonder how the teacher diagnoses this fault? Do you just see it with your eyes or does the ball do something to tell you,"Hey he's swinging too much right".If you see it,is it more in the backswing or all in the follow...

Brian, I have been thinking of building a plane board for myself.If I swing too far right and want to use NHA pattern would a plane board be okay or confuse things? I'm talking stance line square,target line square and plane board square.I'm thinking NHA the club on the forward swing would cut...

In Confessions of a Flipper you say,"You need to get the left shoulder as far away from the ball at impact". What happens if you don't do this and have little or no rotation of your body?

I own a lot of golf instruction books, maybe too many. Some of the instruction books that are older, Tommy Armour and Arnold Palmer,come to mind recommend playing from an open stance the shorter the club becomes.Both of these books generally start advocating opening the stance from the driver...

Brian, I own all of your videos and started out with NSA because I thought I had a slice.After watching "the movie" and specifically NHA,i think I swing way too much to the right.NSA didn't seem to help me because I still had that way out to the right swingpath. My divots are straight but...

Watching NSA when Brian says put the club on the movie screen should it look like...... l or more like \ ? Does this make sense?

Watching "Over and Out" the Manzella bunker play method,got me to wondering about the full swing. Do you use the Manzella way to open and close the clubface for full swing shots? I hit balls this way today and it worked well. If it works in the short game why not the long game?
