For those of us without a scientific bent...When you read the various treatises couched only in scientific verbiage, how do you go about making yourself understand it? I'm reasonably competent, but, try as I might, I often get lost along the way. My nature won't allow me to give up and wait...

I was at the range tonight bringing my warring mass of muscle movements I laughingly call a golf swing to bear. As usual I was rubbish, but then I remembered what Brian was saying about sticking the hula hoop in the ground and yanking it back out: BOOM!, my whole ball-striking went up a notch or...

Is it possible to "replace the left arm" too soon? I am having a devil of a job hitting the golf ball just lately and I feel this might be a problem for me... My left arm gets replaced too soon, and then the club has to work back under nearing impact, with the resultant horrible blocks and...

Taking a look at my swing from face on, I see I have a tremendous amount of lag at the start of the downswing; it still looks good halfway and maybe even 3/4's of the way down, then everything just collapses and I'm early flipping with the driver and my hands on the video look like they are...

I've tried to start the downswing keeping my head back for the longest time. Would that be feasible seeing as often I still feel I'm too "on top" of the ball too early, with the result that my arms suck up into my body to make room? Tonight I hit a few balls feeling the buttons my shirt on...

Played a little golf tonight and my left side travails were out in their pomp, as bloody usual. Then I figured that perhaps if the right arm was pushing the left arm too much in the downswing, the left would react by getting a jump ahead of the downswing pivot be pushed too low to the ground...

So I've been struugling mightily to get my left side to allow my right side to pass on the downswing; with that in mind I was trying out some swings left-handed, and my front side (right side), for some unfathomable reason, works absolutely perfectly. So I tried swinging righty but cross-handed...

A quick one, really, but just lloking for some feedback on what members think. When I was 16 I could hit a persimmon driver about 280. Now, 20 years removed, I can barely get to 260 with the new drivers. A constant problem for me is my left side. When I'm hitting it well, I feel like the left...

Alright chaps. I know this might be a trip down memory lane for some, but for a guy like myself who's just hopped on the Manzella Express, it's still kinda new; thusly, apologies for those who looked at this thread and are seeing something they already know. Re: the Kinetic Chain, Is it...

Spare a quick thought, if nothing else...

With apologies if this sounds as dumb as it does in my head AND if it's already been mulled over somewhere else on the forum. My left arm is a complete bastard to me on the downswing. It acts as a blocker and no matter what I try to do - and I have tried everything - it makes my downswing...

I wonder if anybody can help me slot the last piece in. Always had a problem swinging underplane, but I got the tumble working pretty good (it seems!!) and that seems to have helped massively. However, just as I come into impact and I feel the axis tilt happening, my left arm gets glued to my...

Just looking to see what forum members tink about the following... If you are making some pretty good body motions through the golf swing and your hands don't operate properly through the impact zone - let's say for sake of argument, a foot before, and a foot after impact - relative to the body...

Just a quickie I've been thinking about... What do you think would be the net result on the release/hand movement thru the impact zone if insufficient axis tilt were generated?

So I've played for 25-odd years at a pretty good standard and my ball striking has always been pretty solid - At least, that's what I thought... Since sucking in a lot of Brian's stuff, from this forum and his vids, my swing feels so crappy (sometimes to the extent that sometimes I feel like I'm...

Just watched Sean Foley on Golf channel. Is Charlie Rymer 8' 7" or is Sean Foley about 3'? Further, talk about 30 minutes of banality; nothing even slightly interesting right there. You just want Brian to suddenly appear and throw a few beauties in there, just to get the heartbeat up a tad

Just an observation really...Any comments would be v. interesting I was having a nose at Playing With The Pros on the Golf Channel, and David Duval was the pro. Goodness gracious, have you ever seen anybody's body motion, just prior to, at and beyond impact that is a better examplar of Brian's...

Here's another quickie. If the club is not below VSP coming into impact and ostensibly everything else looks decent, what would be a cause of the left arm shooting around the left side of the body as if it's pulling a lawn mower cord. I.e. the left elbow pulls the lower left arm sharply to the...

Following on from my introductory post... If one is on-plane deep into the downswing and everything is looking good, what would be the most common error if the hips failed to rotate into an optimum position. How would the body react to get to the ball and how would this manifest itself in shot...

Just an "out of interest" question more than anything else. What was the idea, concept, or thing about Brian and his teaching that made you think "a-ha, that's for me?" Regards Oliver
