    Full-roll (or close) type release

    Is there a benefit to the "full-roll," "wedding ring up" (or close) type release in that there is less alpha/y-axis (to use the terms fr the other thread) releasing to do, and perhaps less timing involved? E.g. less elephant trunk swing; shaft up the left arm longer "through impact." The move...

    In trying for neutral, have I been gripping it weaker for like 4 years?

    For the most part, I have tried to make neutral, vertical grip work. Neutral as a logical term- both wrists vertical. I think in trying for it, I have been gripping it weaker for some time though. I figured out the other night that when you put your hand flat against a wall, the thumb pad...

    Gonna be in London, Ontario. Golf recommendations?

    Good golf courses? Something links-ish even. Or just something nice. Preferably easy to get on. Doesn't necessarily have to be fancy, just nice little course. What else there to do in Lon?

    More open in downswing..hips, shoulders.

    To Brian and the guys.. A lot of people teach opening the hips "through impact/through the hit" and open hips at impact. I've been using the r shoulder and hip to drive my swing for some time now. I've had great success with it but I think eventualy I lost some motion/participation in my left...

    "Hand Control" - Specifics

    1. Twistaway, as taught in Never Slice Again. 2. Screwdriver-like turning open of the left wrist. 3. Anyone observe that there is something in between these two? Not sure exactly how to explain it. It would be something more like "cock the club straight up towards your face and then turn"...

    The Nicklaus Finish

    Don't think I ever really gave it it's due. Too early to tell but this may end up being an upgrade. (we will see) To get there you have to... ... Just thought it at least deserved a thread. Anyone have any kind of standout success with this move? (/position)

    Brian You Have a Shorter Pivot- You Ever Lift The Left Heel For More Juice??

    For more Juice?? (Brian had shoulder surgery) I have a shorter pivot, at least when I am trying to hit a golf ball. I am gonna try it this year. I hope I can get a speed increase. Should I lift the left heel, or let it get pulled up? It seems if I do the former, it comes up easier (of...

    Hip Turn In Backswing

    This has helped me so much...I am so on board with this idea... For Brian and MGA guys, I was wondering, how many people do you get to turn their hips LESS? How about right knee straightening? Best I can think is a NHA style pattern. Fred Couples, Monty, and whoever else.

    Should Stricker Try Lowering His Hands A Little?

    He plays a draw, yes? Wonder if he gets too in to out often. ? And....more loading, probably more speed, no? He is Top10 in the world, I know. Maybe he has tried. Maybe someone w more experience can tell me why or why not this is a good idea. (I realize ideas are only ideas)

    "Clubface control separates the best players"

    This is a revisit. (of topic) Mike Finney and Brian I think used to say clubface control separated the best players. What have you learned now? (that you can measure things precisely) Brian, Mike? (or others)

    Is it possible not to think?

    I honestly do not know. Talked to someone a while back who thought thoughts were like clouds. "Scattered clouds." Discuss...! (please :)) Any psychology people in the house?

    Describe Your Putting Stroke

    Grip is neutral double overlap w the right hand turned under a little. Loose. Eyes over the line. Head centered bet feet. Ball somewhere just inside the left heel. (whatever feels best at the time, but closer to left heel then bet the feet) Open stance, to some degree. (experimenting w how...

    Graphite In Irons

    Any thoughts? Brand suggestions? Gaining ("negative") shock absorption and club distance sounds good to me. Feel? Dunno. I don't want real real lightweight or anything, I don't think.

    The most basic (all-encompassing) parts are probably the most important, no? Off the top of my head, My Attempt At Most Basic: 1. Truth-Seeking. 2. Evolving. 3. Scientific approach. (aside from how Homer actually did with this BTW...ahhh) 4. All-encompassing! An inclusive system, not an...
