So, I am driving down to Malone, NY for a golf weekend this weekend with some of my buddies from university and the weather is supposed to be cool. I've heard that the ball doesn't travel as far in cooler weather, but I have no experience to speak of. I realize that this is a bit subjective, but...

On video I see that my backswing has a lot of "around" (a lot of roll), with little wrist cock "up". It is overly long (think John Daly) and then there seems to be some tug to start the downswing, high hands at impact and a resultant push or push slice, high and to the right. Anybody have some...

Hey guys, Gonna be shopping for a new driver soon and just wanted to hear if any of the forum members have done some driver comparisons lately? I realize the individuality of the selection process for each golfer and the importance of getting fitted, just wanted to hear about the comparisons...

I've always wondered this, at tour events, are the pros given yardage books where the slopes and false fronts, etc. are already drawn on the diagrams of each hole or is it something each pro has to draw on themselves? Are they given any indications prior to the rounds where the pins will be or...

For the instructors out there, actually for anybody who knows, do you know what tendencies you are likely to see if you set up with your hands too high at address? (i.e. both hands are uncocked at address). I think that I tend to do this with my short irons without even realizing at the time...

Bear with me here, I have had the hardest time trying to switch from a strong grip to a neutral grip and the big problem seems to be my left thumb. I physically cannot make a "short" thumb on the shaft and I wonder if that is why I seem to need a stronger grip (i.e. in order for the thumb to...

I think that I need to add a knockdown shot/punch shot to my game and I was wondering if the learned folks here could offer some advice as to the best way to go about hitting one. I remember watching one of Tiger's clinics on The Golf Channel and one thing that he mentioned was that in addition...

I'm having my first lesson with the man in Michegan, and while I am looking forward to having him fix my swing, I've also read that he is quite the storyteller, sooooo......I wanted to know from past students which stories I should ask to hear.

HK talked about when hitting with a driver you should set up with a the clubface closed because of the fade tendency to angled hinging, does this mean having a Manzella neutral grip and then just turnng your wrists at setup so the face is closed, or actually taking a grip where your wrist...

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO POST#5 FOR DETAILS: BRIAN MANZELLA B-man, You are one busy dude. I am thinking about that Michigan school (off topic I know).

Hi Guys, I never realized how bad my swing was until I put it on video and watched it. I was hoping that Brian or Jim or whomever could give me some advice about how to go about fixing things. To the un-educated eye (i.e. me) here were some observations I noticed (rightly or wrongly) -I have...

I really like the "up the wall" visual for trying to swing back on the TSP as it is easy to visualize and do while you are over the ball at the range. I have always struggled with the elbow plane swing when I didn't have a mirror behind me. Is there a similar swing thought as the "up the wall"...

Hey Brian, Wondering if you could give us a glimpse of what the future holds for you in terms of future videos or books that you might be offering for sale or are currently working on. I've got all your videos and love them. Could you give us your best guess as to when you plan on releasing...

Having watched Brian's Confessor video, I understand the rationale for Aiming Point, it's the actual application of it that I struggle with. My 2 questions are: 1)I know that aiming point is on the target side of your lead foot (i.e. for a right hander it would be left of your left foot) but...

I have been trying to master the twistaway with my driver and by utilizing the Manzella neutral grip (previously had a "strong grip") and the problem that I have been encountering is as my backswing nears it end (at the top), with the twistaway, I am feeling that my left thumb (I'm a righty) is...

I am 32 years old and unfortunately too young to have seen Arnie in his day. Apparently, today Arnie has decided to stop playing competitive golf and despite knowing that it had to stop at some time, I find myself sad. He had always seemed (even at 77) the epitome of cool. I know a little bit...

Hey Guys, all the instruction on the full swing has helped me immensely, do you guys have any short game drills (chipping, pitching, putting) that have helped your students/your game out. I like the idea behind Pelz's 3 x 4 system and the chipping ratios. Any others?

Could someone remind me how it is recommended that you set up your clubface (ie. slightly close, open, square) for hitters and swingers for a straight, full shot. I thought that I remember reading that it is different for hitters vs. swingers and long irons/woods vs short irons.

This one caught my attention from one of the other posts. Can anyone explain what is meant by this in terms of one of Brian's Plane line drills?

Actually, it's a follow up on something you mentioned in a previous thread, regarding long-distance, internet coaching. You could consider this a "beta test" to see if it is feasible to coach somebody strictly through teaching on the internet. It would be another source of income (while...
