I'm curious why so much roll is advocated. I am thinking the "knuckles scraping the ground" (I believe I read that somewhere on this forum). At one point, this action definitely helped me to learn not to flip it. Instead of the left wrist breaking down, it would roll. However, that action...

I don't see this covered very often (okay, never), but I do hear people talk about how far back you should go with certain irons. For example, the idea is that you wouldn't take your PW back as far your driver. I guess my question is, what constitutes a "full swing" for a PW vs. a "full swing"...

Does anyone here find that it's easier to swing some clubs and easier to hit others? I'm finding that I have an easier time hitting my mid to short irons (as opposed to swinging them) but, if I try to hit my long irons or woods, I tend to push it right. The problem that I think I have with...

Does anyone here actually know how the two shafts compare to each other? I've read reviews where people have complained that the Hogan Apex #4 shaft isn't really stiff, and say it's more like a regular True Temper shaft. Then I had one of the guys in the golf shop at a course that I play some...

During my backswing, some times I'll lose the connection between my thumb and my hand (left hand). When my left wrist cocks, it cocks against my thumb (so to speak), and that is where the left thumb becomes disconnected from the side of my hand. I'm using a fairly neutral grip. Any suggestions?

For a swinger, how soon in the downstroke should you begin to feel the left arm roll?

Brian, if you read this, I know you're not shy about giving your opinion. :) What do you think about Pelz' instruction on the short game?

I've always been under the impression that swinging was the preferred method. This is probably because Ben Doyle is the only AI that I've ever gone to see, and he teaches swinging. I've struggled and struggled trying to swing. I've had good results, at times, but I've also constantly fought...

I think I have been using too much upper body in my swing for pretty much my entire golfing life. Maybe not too much upper body, but too little lower body? Anyway, recently I started having a little bit of trouble not flipping the club again and adding with the hands and arms. Granted...

I'll be brief since many people have already said what they have to say about this video. First, I was very happy to have confirmation that what I've been working on lately has been on the right track. I've been to Carmel to see Ben a number of times now, and after reviewing some of my lessons...

I've been a struggling flipper for most of my golfing life. Flipping, "adding instead of multiplying", etc. I think I'm finally starting to "get it". Here are a couple video clips of me hitting pitch shots. I think my impact alignments are much better, but I'm sure there is room for...

Is the transition from the backswing to the downswing the same for hitters and swingers? Also, in Tomasello's videos, he says that if the arms go up past a certain point, and the right elbow disconnects from the body, that the first move to start the downswing must be to drop the arms and...

Perhaps I am caught up on something that isn't as important as I'm making it out to be, but never the less, here I am caught up on it. During my backswing sometimes my right elbow becomes slightly visible underneath my left arm when viewing my swing from directly in front (not down the line)...

Since I believe I Swing the club, this feel question is, again, for swingers. I have the tendency to get to the top of my swing, then rip the club down at the ball. Naturally, the results usually aren't very good when I do this. I have to really focus on tempo and the motion that I want to...

For a swinger, that is. Lately I've been mainly focusing on maintaining my impact alignments once they are set, while making sure that my arms are only going downward in the downswing (like many hackers, I had the tendency to try to hit out at the ball with my arms from the top). I then try to...

With horizontal hinging, I'm understanding that the hands must rotate some on the way back. Wouldn't it be easy then, if using horizontal hinging, to over-rotate and end up on a much flatter plane? It seems to me that it would be easier to stay on plane using angled hinging. From what it...
