    For Brian: When to begin the drop?

    Brian, During our last lesson, we worked on "more level" shoulders during the first half of the downswing. Along with this "higher left shoulder longer" feel, I've also been trying to delay the drop of the hands/arms/club. At the range yesterday, I made a few swings with the feeling of...

    TaylorMade Rac TP Wedges

    How bad do the TaylorMade Rac TP wedges shred balls? Brian laughs at my old 200 series Vokeys, so he's got me thinking...which usually doesn't work to my advantage :) Thanks

    Practice Motion vs Actual Swing

    Brian, I finally got the camera out for the first time since our Oct 1st lesson. I've been working on the things we talked about, and hoped I'd seen some of it transferring over to my real swing. So there I was on camera, making those exaggerated backswing motions we talked about - high wide...

    Fixing a flat shoulder turn on the backswing

    After reading the recent thread on fixing a steep shoulder turn on the backswing, I thought I'd ask the opposite question - how to fix a flat shoulder turn on the backswing (one of my problems). I worked with Brian in October and this is one of the things we talked about. I'm still struggling...

    Pivot Brake

    Brian, I was watching the video of my lesson this week and came across the part were you talked about Pivot Brake (or Break???). This was a term I'd never heard before, and it was interesting how you described it's part in the downswing Kinetic chain. I thought maybe some of the forum members...

    What's wrong with this setup?

    http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5154959 I think my hands are too low. Club pointing at the middle of my zipper instead of the belt buckle. Do I need to stand taller? Move the ball further away? Me not sure... Thanks

    Can someone please define Basic Motion and Acquired motion? I see both these terms referred to on this and other sites but can't find the definitions. Can't find it in the book either... Thanks

    Toms to Taylor Made

    I see David Toms is moving to TM for 2007, except for his magic 5 wood... http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061213/SPORTS/312130001/1001/SPORTS I guess he heard Brian is a Taylor Made man and didn't want to miss the boat :) Brian, which TM iron are you using? Those...

    My trip to Louisville

    I went to Louisville this week to spend six hours working with Brian. Just got back last night... I was a little hesitant about taking this trip. It's a 500 mile drive from my home in NC and I've spent a lot of money on golf lessons in the past that yielded only marginal results. Would I be...

    Stuck trail elbow

    Take a look Hope someone can help..... On full swings, my left elbow gets stuck on the side of my left hip (...I'm a Lefty). From this position it seems impossible to get the arms/club far enough forward to create the flat right wrist/bent left wrist that we all want. I can see on video that...

    Should I or should I not?

    I've been toying around lately with a new swing feel (...new to me anyway). It's one where the arms, wrists, and shoulders are very very relaxed at address and throughout the swing. I simply use my pivot to swing the club back, introducing no conscious manipulations on the club. Not worrying...

    Taking practice swing over to real swing

    I admit it, I have clubhead throwaway. Interestingly, my practice swings look very much like Brian's logo - plenty of lag, hands ahead at impact, flat leading wrist, arms well extended in the followthrough. The problem is, no matter how hard I try, I cannot take that good motion and hit a ball...

    How to shorten backswing armswing

    I'm looking for some suggestions on how I can shorten my armswing on the backswing. I've always had the type of backswing where the right elbow gets behind me and points basically perpendicular to the target line at the top. The angle between the left arm and shoulder goes to almost zero...
