    With the Help of Brian Manzella...

    Finally getting to the point I want to be at. I worked with Brian a couple of years ago when he came to Ann Arbor but couldn't make it this year. Been playing some good golf and wanted to throw up a swing. I give Brian a lot of credit for helping me with my swing. Ive always liked Greg...

    Hey Manzella, bring your pitch shot!!

    Brian, I was watching the soft draw pattern pretty intensely for the last couple of days. I was watching your down the line view of your toss demonstrations and had a question. What looked like to me was a pitch backswing from like a building blocks pattern with the toss thrown in. I have a...

    The Downswing

    I have both NHA and SOFT DRAW and was really watching the downswings. NHA has a straight line delivery path with its drop and carry pivot. very simple. In SOFT DRAW there is a shift to the elbow plane. I have watched the chapter with the toss a lot but really don't understand what makes the...

    Whatever happened to the short game Matrix..

    I know Brian is always busy but I am still really looking forward to this. I hope Brian hasn't given up on the idea of making this stuff into a video. There really isn't that much talk about the short game and especially with the golfing machine, I would like to learn more about it. Anyone else...

    Ann Arbor Follow-up

    Hey Brian, I was working on my swing with the tips you gave me in Ann Arbor. I'm trying to get away from the rotation and trying to get more up in my pivot but, I have a couple questions. I can’t get this left arm to get off of my chest. It’s just hanging on and not "jumping out of the...

    The kinetic chain

    Ok, I bought confessions and have been trying to have my pivot power everything. I understand how to use the pivot and i'm trying to train it. The problem is i can do it left handed. nice forward leaning shaft, straight divot, and my arm comes to rest so i know im not adding with the left...

    Impact pp#4

    Should there be any pressure at pp number 4 (arm on top of chest) at impact or has the arm rebounded of the chest by that point in time?

    The DOUBLE shift

    I was just curious today while searching the forum and wanted to learn more about plane shifts and I came across Brians 1988 double shift masterpiece. How do you accomplish that awesome shift Brian? Now I know you’re probably wondering why I want to do that and it’s not really that I want to...

    Question regarding Flipper

    I bought “confessions” over the weekend and have been working very hard by only doing chips. I can get some good "rock sounding" compressions but I still can't get the feeling of the proper pivot move. I'm in the rebound squat and I know I have to straighten and get my left arm up and in but I’m...

I was watching Finney's face on this morning and was watching how the hips rotate till a certain degree then the shoulders rotate and stretch to get...

    The Endless Belt Effect

    Hey everyone. Have yet another question about a topic from the book. I don't know if there’s anymore to the concept and maybe you can explain it to me better but, is the endless belt effect just the relationship between a straight line delivery until it gets to the arc of the pulley and the...

    Slight Fade

    I was just at the range hitting some balls just a while ago and never felt better. I've been working the catch the drop drill and my impact alignments look like Brian himself. I’m starting to have a slight fade maybe a three to four yards. I'm thinking it’s my right shoulder getting a little...

    Question on the Pivot and Aiming Point

    I finally felt how the pivot generates the flat left wrist a couple of minutes ago. I can do it slow but when I try to pick up speed I feel my hands over accelerate and I flip. Should I just keep on doing it slow to get the feel and then try to speed up the pivot? My second question, is...

    Right Wrist Cocking Problem

    During the backswing I feel as if my right wrist is cocking instead of it just bending. I know that the cocking of the left wrist happens by the bending of the right elbow but when I try to just bend my elbow I lose all of my width on the backswing. I have a similar build to Michael Finney and...

    Maximum Trigger Delay

    I’ve been a member of the forum for a while now and I was wondering what trigger delay is and how it is incorporated into the golf stroke. I did a search but couldn’t find a definite answer. I’m a 6 handicapper and am probably already doing it but I just want to understand the concept better...
