    Can it be a bad thing to move your left shoulder too far up?

    I have been working really hard lately to try and improve on my ballstriking with my irons because for some reason I just seem to have a hard time hitting them well consistently. I almost always hit my driver and 3 hybrid well, but lately my iron play has been terrible: hosel rockets, thins...

    Putting Video

    Brian, Have you ever thought about making a putting video? I would be very interested in some material on putting seeing as I haven't really read or watched a lot of stuff about it.

    How do I achieve solid contact every time

    So I have been struggling for a long time with solid contact each and every time. Most of the time I can catch the ball clean with a divot after the ball, but sometimes I get spotty where I usually start to chunk and occasionally thin it. When I swing the club I generally feel a pulling...

    Looking for clarification

    In another thread Kevin argued that the hand are much more active in better players. I am not saying that he is right or wrong, but I wanted to know a little bit more about this topic. How active are the hands of better players, or do some better players use mainly their pivot to power the...

    Two Gloves

    How about Tommy Gainey. He started off playing hooters tour then got on big break and made his way to the nationwide tour. After a few years there, I turn on the tv today to check in on the tournament and I see him at the top of the leaderboard. He has really worked his way from the bottom up...

    Axis Tilt and movement of right shoulder

    So I have been re-watching some of the Manzella videos both on youtube and the SD, NSA, and building blocks. I have seen a lot of information about axis tilt and this is what I got out of it: if you need to work from inside the ball i.e. fixing a slice you may benefit from more axis tilt or...

    Adjusting for d-plane

    I don't want to beat a dead horse because I have seen this topic quite a bit in the forum over the past few weeks, but I was just curious how everyone adjusted for the d-plane. Do you try to stand parallel to the intended target line and move your HSP accordingly, or do you move your whole body...

    Too much carry?

    When you are looking at a student when do you decide to fix someone's carry? When you make the decision that a student has too much carry what do you do to fix it? Also, what causes someone to carry the hands away from the body at the beggining of the downswing? Thanks!

    Spine Angle

    So I saw Michael Jordan playing in the American Century Championship last weekend and I noticed that on some of his swings he had a serious decrease in spine angle in his downswing. His head would drop a few inches and he would get closer to the ball resulting in some chunked shots. I was just...

    Swing Path

    Other than using Trackman, which most of us normal people don't have access to, what is the best way to make sure that your swing path is correct?

    Head Position in the swing

    When I make my downswing I know that I have a tendency to slide forward a little bit thus moving my head forward. As you can imagine I tend to get an open clubface because my body has moved forward relative to the ball. The problem is when I try to keep my head back it feels like I am leaning...

    Could somebody please explain this

    I have some questions about the follow through. Should the left wrist break down and start to cup in the follow through?? I have seen some videos by Michael Jacobs and it seems like he keeps his left wrist flat in the follow through. I don't know if it is just me but I have a very hard time...

    Swing Tempo

    I wanted to see whether or not people practice their tempo. Just respond stating whether you practice tempo or not, and if so what do you do. I recently started taking my ipod out and listening to the tour tempo tones and have found that it really helps balance and even getting my club on a...

    Spinning out Left Foot

    Hey everyone... My right foot ( I am left handed) tends to spin out after I have already hit the ball. I just wanted to know if that means I am spinning my hips too much. I don't really think about my hips on the downswing... all I think about is back handing the ball, but whenever I look at...

    Moe Norman-type swing??

    Hey guys. I just wanted to know what you all thought about the Moe Norman style golf swing where you only swing on one plane. Personally, I am not too sure about it because it forces your body into possitions that it do not seem natural. At the same time, however, it seems to simplify the...
