Augusta, 1997--a young, skinny (155 lbs) kid hits wedge into the par 5 15th hole in the first two rounds of the tournament (that’s his second shot--sorry Chip). He averages 323 yards off the tee for the tournament, playing a King Cobra 9 deg with a 43.5 inch steel shaft and a Titleist Pro 90...

I like Corey Pavin's game; wish the pro game was still such that a shotmaker (not a bomber) could still win the big events. Saw on YouTube some new instruction (3 days old) from Pavin. Anyway, it's 2009, and he's showing how to hit a draw and a fade using the old ball flight laws (like in Golf...

From a terminology standpoint, what I've gathered from the Forum and the videos is that "swinging left" is really more a case of not "swinging right" or not "swinging out to right field". In other words, correctly swinging "on plane" through impact to the finish, based on wherever you are...

It means, one bucket of balls. Practicing golf in France is not easy. For lots of reasons, it's just not like the good ol' US of A. But, I can assure you that being able to hit des seaux de boules is much more appreciated--sorta like a special treat. Anyway, I get a lot out of the Forum...

We know you've been working hard lately (new D-plane research project, new videos, website redesign)--who knows? You'll tell us when you tell us. As I train for the marathon (haven't been hitting too many lately), I've had lots of time to think. So here goes, one question, no right or wrong...

A question for Brian and the rest of the august forum membership. I work with a nine-year old who does everything left-handed. All of his clubs have been left-handed except his first putter, which he flipped over and used as a left handed club (when he was two). Anyway, I've sorta just let...

Mandrin's recent post on this subject had some very good (interesting) data as it related to impact conditions. I haven't seen any data recently (if ever) on what the length (in distance) of impact is...so I thought I'd do the nums. Intuitively, I thought because of the very short time...

Really enjoy the Soft Draw video! I think this is my basic action, but it was good to hear "why" it works. Have always been a fan of Ernest Jones (glad others see the wisdom in his overall message). I think I'll be even better allowing myself to cross the line a bit more at the top! My problem...

I think (know) that one of the most important skills of an accomplished ball striker is the ability to read ball flight and to make adjustments to the D Plane as required. In addition, understanding the relationship between clubface and swing path angles is paramount to developing shot shaping...

My question deals with clubface rotation (starting at first touch and on through to separation) and its influence on ball flight. I’m looking for some basic guidelines on the number of degrees open (at first touch), to the additional degrees rotated at separation, for determining rough-order...
