Having followed the SnT model for a year or so, I am ditching it. I'm sick of overdraws, blocks and shanks. Don't get me wrong, the good shots are fantastic, but I'm just too inconsistent. The shanks in particular are wanting to make me give up golf. So what I'd like to know is - where do I go...

Just a quicky guys: which pattern would you say best promotes solid contact (or is the most useful for a player struggling with solid contact)? Thanks

Is it possible for the moderators to prevent/take down spam posts? For example, I occasionally peruse this board at work and it's a bit worrying that when looking at a thread about golf balls, you scroll down and find a picture of a semi-naked woman with the caption 'I want 2 men at once'!

Dear all - I have visited this site, on and off, for several years. In that time, my handicap has largely stagnated around 10. I know why this is. I, Macduffer, confess to trying too many methods/seeing too many teachers seeking enlightenment/a quick fix. It does not work. I have tried...

If this is considered off topic, please delete. I currently have a Kodak playsport, which I use for videoing swings. It does 60fps, and is reasonable quality (especially considering the price) but it's far from ideal. I'd like to upgrade, and my research has suggested the casio ex-fc 100 and...

I reread Joe Dante's book last night and it got me thinking. He advocates essentially doing 4 things correctly to produce a good golf swing. If you had to 'prescribe' 4 'magic' moves most likely to produce a high quality golf swing, what would they be and why?

I got myself on a trackman today (first time). I got some data from it which I found interesting. With a 6 iron, swinging in my 'current' way (see earlier thread), these were the figures: Clubhead speed 77.8 Path 7.1 degrees right Face 3.3 degrees right AoA 9.6 degrees down Launch angle: 11.9...

I was told a fantastic story at the range today - if you've heard it before, I apologise. Sometime in the early 90s, Seve Ballesteros was partnered with Tony Johnstone in a European tour event (guy who told me thinks it was in Portugal, but isn't sure). Anyway, over the course of this round...

A while back I started a thread on here called 'weblesson'. In it I outlined my struggles with Morad. I thought I'd post a coupla vids and show you what it looks like. Any thoughts? (other than its not very good!) Thanks in advance

Hi guys – Apologies for what will be a long post. I seem to be stuck at my current level, so I’m looking to find out where the weaknesses in my game are, so I can work on them and hopefully take my game to the next stage. FYI, I’m UK based, and a 9 hcap (average score in medal play 79-83 (par...

I'll try and keep this brief. I'm an 8 handicapper (UK), and I have no consistency. I tried SD last year, with some promising early results, but I kept hitting long irons fat and hitting pull hooks with the driver. I recently had a series of lessons with a local instructor who had me making a...

Hi guys - I'm having good success with soft draw. What I have noticed is that I do have a tendency to overdraw the short irons and sometimes push/push-fade the longer clubs. Thinking about this in relation to the D-plane, I came to the following conclusion: With the short irons, I'm swinging...

As a teacher myself (albeit of English Literature to 13- 18 year olds; UK high school) I often wonder why some people seem to teach (whatever it is they teach) extremely well, while others are very poor. This seems - based purely on my personal experience - at least as true of golf professionals...

I just thought I'd say thankyou to Brian and share my experience with you all. I've been struggling with my game since early/mid 2008 and have seen a few pros. No-one made a real difference. I came on here, bought soft draw: some positives, but no real consistency. Bought NHA - same story...

I was searching through the forum to help myself with a problem I have and I found this post by Michael Jacobs, below (for full discussion, see http://www.brianmanzella.com/forum/golfing-discussions/9158-new-development-golf-instruction-yuck-2.html) . It is SO like what has happened to me it is...

Hi all - this is my first post here, so be gentle. This might be a bit long, so sorry in advance. I'm based in the UK, and by submitting cards based purely on medal play, have got down to an 11 handicap. I played well earlier this year (a few rounds in the mid 70's, probably averaging 80) but...
