    The Swings at 17 - the mental freeze

    Even though The Players tourney has been blessed with benign weather conditions the first two days, the island green on 17 continues to cast its spell. It is amazing to watch the best players in the world as their swings suddenly become: Short - quick - choppy - tentative - unbalanced -...

    TrackMan Range - practice bliss!

    Just finished my first hour of practice on our club's TrackMan Range. I'm left with one thought: As Bogart (Rick) said to Louie, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." We're fortunate to have three TrackMan-equipped teaching bays, a stable of knowledgeable club pros, a...

    ... how would you use them to optimize your ballstriking? What swing pattern do you think is best suited for a player with long arms? How can that wider arc be leveraged to the max? While riding this "golf swing carousel of hell" (love that line from Lindsey), I have often felt that my long...

    Using Trackman as "tie-breaker" in iron clubfitting?

    I have an "iron-fitting" appointment Saturday with a master club-fitter who utilizes Trackman. This follows a similar woods/hybrids fitting several weeks ago and my 100% satisfaction with my new driver, FW and hybrids that I purchased as a result of that fitting. (All are Titleist 910 models...

    The Manzella Video Library

    I'm now the proud owner of all six BM instructional videos. And, as is par for the course with me, I'm feeling schizo trying to determine which one best fits my natural swing -- or which 2 or 3 to mix-and-match to create yet another effective swing "pattern." Since I'm perfectly capable of...
