Living in the midwest certainly has it's advantages, but winter is not one of them! Here's something I came up with in my spare time that I think may help some folks. It's called "The Tylenol drill mat" (note I borrowed the reference from somewhere :p ) Anywho, it looks like this: It's some...

It's 2* outside today and I've got some time to burn. So, I decide to watch "Flipper" again and this idea of throw out action got me thinking....... Brian briefly touches on hinge action at one point but focuses more on how an effective pivot throws the power package down and out. If you can...

.........now I'm hitting a pull-cut. Never thought I'd be able to ingrain that feeling but here we are. The range balls aren't the best at the dome and they leave a little residue. From the looks of my clubs everything is in the heel. Remedy: 1) clubface issues - obv it's open, need to lag the...

Awesome post about "Pressure Points" & Great question, D.J. Brian, you said: I assume this isn't dramatically different for Swingers and Hitters? Backswing is a diff story, esp in being able to feel PP3 right? However, I'm kinda confused because the the hitters "thought" is that there isn't a...

Fact or Fiction: Weight Distribution & Pivot can potentially inhibt a str8 plane line When I think about finishing my swing on my left heel it gets me in a good frame of mind: 1) Good weight distribution at setup (not too much on the toes) 2) The ability to feel "open" at impact (shoulders...

I was just watching the "Manzella Neutral" grip video a minute ago and it reminded me of some things Brian and I worked on in my last lesson. I had the club predominately in my fingers and we moved it more on an angle towards the heel pad (from index finger to heel pad - that angle). Brian...

Brian, I have a few questions stemming from my lesson last Saturday (I was first at 8am). We worked a lot on getting the club back on plane on the downswing and swinging more left. 1) When setting up "square" to the target line but attempting to swing more left "over" the ball placed along the...

Here's a DTL look at my friend's swing. Can you guess his handicap? :confused: I help him w/ his swing quite a bit but I'm sure he'd be interested to hear opinions other than my own for a change :p

Only planned on hitting a bucket tonight but whaddua know, they picked up all the balls and are planning on mowing the range in the morning (this was around 7 or so). This is a local semi-dive but hey this is where I get it done sometimes! Anywho, I decide to walk 9, by myself and the 17 yr old...

Last time at the range I really focused on bending my right wrist back on the takeaway and maintaining this position to the top. From there I simply rotate and "hang on" and boom, ball striking improved dramatically. Does anyone have a similar feeling to attain a maximum amount of trigger...

I interlock - have since my dad started teaching me the game when I was a kid. However, I wondering if moving to an overlap grip would help my game. It's much easier to get a flat left wrist at the top and for whatever reason it "feels" more powerful? Can't say I've hit that many balls w/ the...

I started thinking about my launch monitor stats from an earlier post today and pulled my last #'s: Driver: Titleist 907 D2 UST V2 76 Stiff, 45 in 9.5* Deg Ball Speed: 149 (I think, ink ran a little on my sheet) Launch: 14* Spin: 2,075 I only hit the other "stock" shafts Titleist has to...

After the recent TSP threads and taking a look at similar discussions in the archives, I pulled a recent quasi down the line look pic and added a crude plane line. How bad am I under plane here? Info on my swing: I flip at it with everything but the gap and lob wedge (with a full swing, I know...

As I continue to work on my pivot and manipulate the club with it instead of my hands I find myself confused about the idea of a straightening left leg (I'm right handed) at impact. When I get my left hip going out towards the left and rotate around my spine to keep some axis tilt, when do you...
