    Cotton's wisdoms

    I am currently reading one of old Cotton books, the one named 'This Game of Golf'. Lot's of great pics and wisdom there from one of the greatest golf swing theorists ever -- but I would like to bring some quotes that, first, validates latest Project 1.68's conclusions and, second, share some...

    Explanations

    Gents, Since another thread with my participation and discussion about ballstriking/Hogan has been locked again, I would like to say a few things: 1. I do not know why it is so hard to understand that argumentation is valid when supported by facts; 2. I do not know why some people on this...

    Miller on the US Open

    Johnny Miller Previews 2012 U.S. Open at Olympic Club | Golf Channel On evolving U.S. Open setups: “The only thing that players have in their favor, if you call it favor, is the rough is not like the rough was in my era. These new players, they have no idea what U.S. Open rough was. You look at...

    Is Augusta—set up for The Masters—a good test of golf

    I wonder why...? It seems totally counterintuitive and against common sense. Usually, I'd let such a comment pass quickly, but if you say so -- it must be interesting why. Cheers

    Why people are unable to use old wisdom ?

    The whole mess with "going normal" and "new release" made me think. When I asked a few years ago why straightening the rear wrist/bending the lead one is not regarded as 5th accumulator (using TGM archaic language) - either my question regarded unanswered or ridiculed. Same when I tried to...

    Optimal Weightshift or Conversion Factor between handicaps

    LOL. Here we go... I can say only, that I was always informed (mainly by my golfing buddies who travelled to the States and played golf there) that the difference should be counted to around 3-5 index points on the average. OTOH, I had pleasure to play with a few golfers both from the States as...

    Clubpaths, and Hogan vs. Tiger 2000

    Yes. A machine would produce a slight hook because the axis of rotation is inside the tool. Simple physics. Hogan's answer to O'Meara (described in Haney's book may be an eye-opener for some). No. Hogan is not esteemed as hook-tamer. He was much more than that and comparing Woods to him is...

    Reconnection

    Brian, there are a lot of myths and various opinions when talking about the reconnection of the rear upper part of the arm to the main body during/after transition. I would like to know YOUR EXPLANATION how it happens and what are the most common culprits of not sufficient or too late...

    Henry Cotton's release type clasification

    Gents, As promised, I will try to describe the three release types created by Mr.Cotton long ago; although it's a pretty old classification, it's still the best for an odrinary player to understand the differences, IMHO. It's enough to classify them depending on what happens with the clubface...

    Spine angle loss during downswing

    Brian & all: Why does the spine angle loss cause both thin and fat shots ? Logically, standing up during downswing should create only thin shots... And second question, related to this one - why the spine angle during downswing should increase and it does not lead to fat shots ? what's the...

    PP#1 at the top...?

    Brian, Gents: I apologize if this subject have already been covered on the Forum My question is - I have noticed that it's difficult for me to maintain a good contact between my left thumb and the lifeline inside my right hand at the top. It literally feels as I am able to cock my left wrist...

    Pressure Points...and a "Pressure Point Primer" by Brian Manzella

    Brian, Gents: I have a question. Sorry if it is naive for most of you, but I want it clear. #1 PP is using the heel of the right hand where it touches either the left hand thumb; #2 PP is using the last three fingers of the left hand; #3 PP is the first joint of the right hand trigger index...

    Importance of last 3 fingers of left hand in the grip

    Hello Brian & all, Another question of the grip. I've heard recently that e.g. Snead said that one of the very crucial things in a correct grip is the firm grasp of three last fingers of the leading hand. Is it true ? And if yes...does that mean that we should grip the club hard by those 3...

    Importance of shaft plane line

    Brian, What is the importance of Shaft Plane Line established at address ? Is it more or less important (as checkpoints if a golfer is on plane during the whole swing) than the Elbow Plane Line ? Or maybe both are important but serve for various purposes ? Thanks in advance for your answer. :)

    Clubshaft on forearm angle at impact

    Brian, I have an important question - just for you. Yellow line represents the position of the hands in relation to the ear, red line represents clubshaft and forearm. This is a nice impact position of Mr.Snead with rear forearm on perfectly parallel plane with the shaft: This is a not so...
