A couple of questions if i may.. Has anyone setup a 'hurdle' like Brian demonstrates in Confessions of a Former Flipper that allows them to make a somewhat normal backswing that can be used in range practice? Also i find that starting my swing with the club parallel to the ground, swinging to...

Ok, so i currently have what i would call a "sweep" release (not flipping, just an early release) and have been working on Brian's hurdle drill. Contact and compression hitting shots using the hurdle drill is much better and gaining some extra distance. I have to slow down my swing...

What would you do for someone who is a decent driver of the ball and hybrid player (length/accuracy) but struggles with contact and direction with their irons? What drills would you use to rebuild confidence in the scoring clubs?

I've been missing a few putts under 3 feet recently due to deceleration. After practising today, i found that if i grounded the putter about a ball width behind the real ball, rather than right next to the ball, that it really forced me to accelerate through the putt. Does anyone use this...

Hi guys, I have NSA2 and have put a slight twistaway on the backswing into play with some good results. I find if i also go wedding ring up on the downswing that i get a lot better compression and at least an extra club worth of distance but am prone to hooking it. Without the wedding ring up...

My 'standard' grip since i started playing was a neutral to slightly strong left hand and a strong right hand that was more 'under' at address. My bad shots have been hooks and snap hooks. After some advice i have change my right hand to be a bit weaker and more 'on top' with the grip in the...

Been hitting the ball well but just brushing the grass post impact with all my irons (the grass is brown just past the ball).... if you are making solid contact is it that important whether you take a substantial divot or not? any time i really focus on taking a divot the results are usually...

After struggling a bit contact wise with my irons, was down at the range today and made a few swings where i was trying to go for them at 100% of my swing speed. Was amazed at the results how good the contact was and how long and straight they were flying. Anyone else experienced the same? i...

OK, so you are hitting the ball ok and pretty much where you are looking without conciously thinking of your hands or what they are doing. Just to see what happens you try and roll them a bit more at impact and really arch or flatten the left wrist - you get better contact and more distance...

I've been experimenting with what i understand is the mid-sole pitch. Works wonders from mid to short range. Assuming a normal lie etc and you are within a full swing wedge shot distance when would you use the leading edge type shot versus mid-sole? Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian and others, interested in hearing some thoughts in taking your 'range game' to the course. I'm hitting it pretty well at the range at the moment but is not transferring onto the course - the same old habits appearing time and again. On course obviously has more pressure on results...

Hi guys, i've had a bit of a problem of closing the clubface too much on the downswing and hitting iron shots straight left (have put a barrier outside of the ball so have confirmed not bending the plane left). My instructor has me working on very small swings below waist high trying to hit...

Hi there, shanks and high/right 'almost' shanks have started creeping into my full iron swing. Driver is going beautifully. After watching Brians videos and the good stuff on here i've been concentrating on turning the clubface off the plane like a madman at the start of the downswing, but i'm...

Hi there, i'm struggling a bit with my iron play - mostly making solid contact With my woods i just swing away and pay no conscious attention to what the clubface is doing (and generally hit it solid and in the direction im looking, good distance etc). With my irons however i find that if i...

Ok, i need to do some practice on my path but have had periods of being both under plane and OTT in the past. Has anyone created something for practice where you can groove the correct plane/path whilst swinging a club? e.g. Brian's towel plane board idea but one on each side? I've tried lasers...

I've heard a number of people advocate a swing thought of 'putting your right hand in your right pocket' on the downswing. I've been trying to get rid of a move where i have my hands really far forwards at impact, with my hands moving too far away from my body (resulting in weak push slices)...

Hi there, I'm a former hooker who has been working on NHA but now hitting push slices. My right hand grip was too strong and was swinging too far right, so have made them more neutral How do I get back to the middle? I like not snap hooking it but don't want to become a slicer! Thanks

Was out on the course practicing last night and hit a couple of balls into a green with the SW from about 80m. Both balls landed within a couple of feet of each other, both were about 7m LEFT of where i was aiming. Checked both divots by laying down a club and both were pretty much pointing...

I've been working on my pitching lately to try and improve my direction and distance control from 100m and in. Using a neutral grip, NSA style twistaway and wedding ring up i'm getting really solid contact but vicious hooks with a PW that start left and curve further left ending up 20m left of...

One of the last bits of my game that i need to sort out is pitch shots within 100 yds. My home course has small, fast, elevated greens which are usually surrounded by bunkers. Fairways are tightly mown kikuyu Basically any pitch shots need to come in with some height to them. The chip and run...
