    What makes a Good Golfer GOOD!

    Clubface control. Period. "Whoa Stallion, what do you mean clubface control? You mean Hinge Action?" Well, sort of. What I mean is this: Most golfers are FLIP slicers—I put 'em at 84% of golfers—and slicers slice because they have an overly open clubface. They flip because either they have...

    A New Take on Mac O'Grady

    Never Slice Again (article) October, 2006 Edit

    Never Slice Again By Brian Manzella Are you a slicer? Most golfers are. After 25 years on the lesson tee, it is my estimation that over 80% of golfers are. And some of the golfers who hit the ball right-to-left, are just slicers with enough compensations in their procedure to turn the ball the...

    A Plan for PEACE....and Learning!

    Once upon a time, Mike Hebron had a good idea: "An International Golf Teaching Summit" It was sabotaged by the PGA before it went to post and has deteriorated into a SEMINAR that is so sanitized, most teachers who WANT TO LEARN, don't go. Silly me, I always go. Hopeful. I always return...
