    Under The Radar

    The PGA winter series is being held in Florida and I have a friend/associate playing in the Sr/Jr event. Lo and behold I see that they are a few strokes behind Kevin Shields and his partner (who are leading) going into round 4. I know how good my buddy is....... this site is lucky to have a K...

    Iron Shafts

    Probably been discussed before, but looking for the latest and greatest inputs to this situation. Currently hitting some Adams MB2's with KBS Stiff's in them. Nice setup but not in love with em as the have more offset than I prefer. I got a good deal on the set so I've adjusted. Just scored a...

    The Big Sandbag that IS the Pebble Beach AT&T

    Phil plays a great round to finish at-17. The winning team shoots twice as good... -35 and I don't think Phil's team even made the cut. Why is there no outcry about the obvious sandbagging that's going on with the am partners? Yea... the hollywood types don't have any credibility to begin...

    Finish Intent

    Since working with Brian and working on the thoughts on the "new" release, I've given little consideration to what's happening into the finish. My focus has been more on shallowing my AOA and getting more normal thru impact. In hindsight I do recall that Brian spent a little time on what the...

    Trying To Go More Normal

    I've been hitting it pretty solid since visiting Bmanz in September but feel like I have a ways to go. Divots are thinner but still some dragging going on. My miss is the odd fat shot (really fat at times). When it's working the best I've been feeling like I'm starting my back extension "early"...

    Driver Sole Tee Marks

    Should we expect to see a tee mark on the sole of the driver on a center-hit to go from front to back in a straight line (i.e the tee mark would be straight line from the center of the face to the center of the rear of the head)? Or - is there a torqueing of the head that occurs (even on...

    Shallowing the AOA

    Got in few swings on TM this week and looks like I still need to improve the AOA numbers. My 6 iron was still in the upper 6's and I'm pretty sure that my jump-up and/or back extension isn't what it needs to be. Part of it may be a timing thing in that I'm trying to do it as I get into impact...

    Where does the "up" in the thru-swing come from?

    I've been pondering this a bit lately. We have a "down-out-forward" downswing and an "up-and-in" thru swing. What makes up the "up" component of the thru-swing? I would think the "in" is pretty much a function of the club being tethered to the grip. Is the "up" a physically controlled motion, a...

    Random Questions & Thoughts Re: Hitting Long Irons

    I'm trying to reconcile some things in my head regarding how to best hit the long irons and I thought I'd pose some thoughts in this forum. I still carry a 2 and 3, and even a 1-iron on occasions..... mainly due to playing in lots of wind most of the time. I prefer an iron to a hybrid and can...

    Soft Draw Question

    Brian, I went through the SD video recently and had a chance to hit a few balls with some nice results using SD concepts. I have just been re-reading Faldo's book.... "Golf - The Winning Formula" written around 1989. I hadn't touched the book for many years and was a little surprised to see...

    Bunker Play, and Brian's Over & Out Video

    Brian, I wanted to give you some kudos on your "Over and Out" bunker play video. As of late I have REALLY been struggling in the bunkers and was at my wits end regarding what to do to fix it. I'm a scratch golfer who literally looked like a 30 handicapper when I got in a bunker (no offense to...

    Steel Shafts In Rescues, FW Woods, and Driver?

    I currently play DGX-100's in my irons (Ping S59 Tour's) and have "adequate" length with them. I hit the 7I around 165-170 yards and then move in about 10 yard increments each way with the rest of the irons. My other clubs (a rescue, a 3W, and the driver) all have stiff graphite shafts. I like...

    "Hot Touch" Putting

    I just viewed Bobby Schaeffer's "Hot Touch" putting video. I've never been much of a left-hand low guy when it comes to putting, but this is a different approach than I've tried in the past. I've been fortunate (lucky?) to maintain a handicap that hovers around zero despite being a mediocre...

    Trajectory

    This may tie into the "arch and snap" thread, but I wasn't sure. I recall Ben Doyle mentioning in one of his lesson tapes that to hit the ball lower you move closer to it, and to hit it higher, move further away. Is this due to increased arching of the left wrist at impact when the ball is...
