Is Snead's right elbow too low for the SD pattern?

Did Nelson straighten his right leg on the backswing, as did Snead? Any Youtube links showing it? thanks.

Could someone please explain what "pitch elbow" means, and why it's called "pitch"? I missed that one. Thanks. Chris

Some time last year, Brian did a video of putting it on the movie screen for www.pga.com. Does anyone have the link, if it's still active? Thanks.

This is somewhat embarrassing, but what's the web for and there are no pictures to upload. . . . I've been a swayer from way back and am trying to reform in the direction of a more centered backswing. I took a shower last night after a less than stellar session at the range. It's a...

Since falling into this site and making a number of Manzella style changes to my swing, my game has much improved, for which thanks to Brian and all the many others from whom I've learned much. A question: I now feel quite a bit of force or pressure on my left thumb through impact. Is this...

Has anyone used a path-pro to help swinging more left? If so, how? Thanks.

Does anyone have any video or links showing a good swing but taken from in front of the player, i.e., with him hitting a ball in the direction of the camara? Quite awhile ago I came accross some of Bobby Jones doing this and it gave an interesting perspective on his hip turn. Can't find it...

I'm still a recovering "too much right" swinger. I've managed to get my hips pretty open, but my shoulders are still almost perfectly square at impact. Any suggestions on how to get the top lined up with the bottom? Thanks. Chris

I'm wondering if anyone can describe some of the drills Ben Doyle has his students do out of the sand, if that's not breaking any copyright material? At cmartin's recommendation, I recently started hitting half shots out of a "fairway bunker" (actually the long-jump pit at the track across the...

Anyone have any good tips for working on getting the bottom of the swing in front of the ball? I used to do this and compress the ball. But I've fallen off the wagon and am having a hard time getting back on.... Thanks.

Dear Brian, Should your rear end be closer to the target at the top of the backswing than at address? If so, how much closer? Thanks. Best, Chris

Anyone have any suggestions? I've been struggling with this in combination with swinging too far right.

Dear Brian, I took a lesson with you in Chino last month and have been working on "swinging left" (actually right for me as I'm a lefty) by using the drill you showed of putting another ball about a foot out and an inch or so inside the ball I'm hitting. I can now consistently hit or...

Video doesn't lie. I'm tilting my head toward the target at the top of the back swing. Not quite a full reverse pivot as I've got my weight on the back foot. But it doesn't do much for keeping axis tilt. The worst is that I don't feel myself doing it at all. Anyone have any experience with...

Having watched the videos, Confessions, and NSA, I’m now starting to take a divot after the ball (sometimes). But the shape of my divot has changed from dollar bill to something like this: ______ l_______\ That is, it’s square at entry, but angled at the end as if I’m still flipping but...

Does anyone know of good swing analysis software that will accept quick-time (*.mov) files? Thanks.

I've just been with the program here a month or so and have been changing my release to the wedding ring up method. And I must say it's a pleasure to hit the ball with a desceding blow. But I'm getting a callus on the outside edge of the tip of my left thumb. Never had one there before. Is...

I learned of the pureswing wedge from Brian's site and found it pretty useful to help stop swinging into right field. Is there a reason Rover only makes the PS in a wedge? Would the same principle work for a driver? Chris

I got a Pureswing trainer from a friend, but no video or instruction book. I can see how to use it to work on chips and pitches, but can one use it for the full swing? And what's the modification to use it for the twistaway move? Thanks. Best, Chris
