    Scratch Wedges

    OK..... I don't necessarily want this to turn into an "equipment debate" but I have some questions about my wedges. I have used Vokeys for what seems like forever. I have tinkered with my wedge set-up for almost as long, and I'm currently carrying 4 wedges (48, 52,08 56,010 60,08) I may go...

    Losing my drive

    Hey all. Well, here it is, Memorial Day weekend and I'm not playing golf, not hitting balls, and not practicing my putting. I am just flat burned out. I withdrew from the State Am qualifying tournament and I just can't seem to get that drive back that I had only a week ago. I worked with...

    Equipment setup, particularly wedges

    Here is the deal folks. I realize this isn't an "equipment" forum, but I posted this in an "equipment" forum and I got zero responses. I don't know if my query was too technical, or if it is so far below the radar that no one really cares. I trust the information here due to the moderation...

    Putter Aim

    Hey folks Well, I'm stuck in the house for another weekend it appears. Winds of 40mph, cold and wet. I'll play in most any weather, but today is just miserable. With that in mind, I wanted to ask the forum about putter aiming. I am not nearly as good a putter now as I was in my 20's and...

    Too Much Pivot split off with question

    Well.....I have been stuck in the house all day due to a miserable 3 days of snow and cold and the boredom has worn me down. I have been reading the "Too Much Pivot" thread and I guess I am confused. I figured a good way to entertain myself would be to subject you good folks to my questions...

    Thanks again, great lessons

    I know Brian doesn't need anymore accolades but the "Manzella Experience" is the real deal. Drove 26 hours round trip, battled a little tropical storm named Humberto, played 18 holes with Brian, ate the best New Orleans food you can imagine, and managed to create a whole new golf swing. As...

    Swing Fads

    OK.... This may be the musings of a lunatic, but I can't get past the feeling that Stack and Tilt is just another fad concocted to generate notoriety for it's "creators". I have been around long enough to remember when everyone hung on the utterances of Jim Flick because he had Jack. Jimmy...

    How good is this swing sequence?

    I found this swing sequence in my computer today. I don't remember where I got it. I do remember that this guy is a TGM student and this sequence was what first made me aware of TGM. I am a recovering flipper and his impact position is a dream of mine. Hopefully in September, Brian can...

    What the heck IS the pivot

    OK folks.......I did a search of the entire forum without finding an answer. This may be the dumbest things I have ever publicly asked but.... Where is the pivot felt in a good golf swing? Here is my problem. I can change the feeling of my pivot by focusing on different areas of the body...

    Tac Tic Question

    This may seem silly but I am a little confused. I bought a Tac Tic on Ebay at a good price (not so good as you will see) after it was mentioned here on the forum as a good training aid for a recovering flipper (me). Here is the rub. The included DVD won't play in anything in my house or at...

    Bunker problem today

    Hey all I had an unusual bunker problem today that blew up a decent round. I was in a green side bunker to the right of the green, facing a shot where my ball came to rest on a severe upslope. The pin was about 30 feet away. I was facing the back of the bunker with pin at 90 degrees to the...

    Top 10 Best Swings on Tour

    Watching some of the videos Brian posted from the Masters got me wondering if Brian has ever made a list of the "Top Current 10 Swings on Tour" or something similar? I would really like to know who Brain and the other TGM/Manzella Instructors here feel comes the closest to having the best...

    Manzella vs. Haney

    OK folks......Here is the real deal. Many of you may remember my thread, "I Need To Vent". I was in a bad way after spending the last 2.5 years committed to Haney's philosophy. I won't rehash what I said, but suffice it to say I was VERY disappointed with my lack of real world improvement. I...

    Camcorder died

    It always seems to be something. Yesterday, I shot some video on the range trying to work on some stuff before my sessions with Brian in Louisville this Thursday and Friday. So....I get home, plug the camera into my computer, open CSwing........and I get nothing. I figure my battery is shot...

    It's snowing on Easter Weekend

    Well It's snowing in West Texas and I am stuck indoors. So to cheer myself up, I went over to the Masters website to check the morning scores. OH MY!!! It looks to me like the course may be on the verge of being unplayable. Am I in left field here?

    I need to vent

    Hello to all I wanted to thank Brian and all the great members of this forum. I don't contribute much, but I read everything that is posted here. I had heard of TGM a few years ago, and I tried to read the book, but I honestly thought TGM was some kind of cruel joke. The terminology and the...
