    Posting swing videos

    Hi folks, Been a while since I have been around the forums but it's great to be back. On that note, I would like to post a swing video of mine for feedback but am not sure if that is still allowed? Thanks for any feedback.

    Teaching kids

    Friend of mine at work has a couple of boys who love to play golf. I think the oldest is 10 and the other 7 or 8. Anyway, he asked me if he should get them lessons, etc. because they just love everything about the game. I'm interested in what the response of the forum is on this. My answer...

    LCT and clubface control

    Hi folks, Question for those of you using any variation of a LCT. I've noticed that I end up playing with a clubface that is less open (aka facing more skyward ;) ) at the top. As a result, it's mostly fades and block fades as misses for me. It's an interesting juxtaposition - hit it where...

    Pivot Medicine

    When your pivot feels out of whack, what drills or keys do you focus on to get back in rhythm? I usually hit balls w/ my feet together to make sure I'm making a good turn. Let's hear yours!

    Question about reaching the left pivot point

    Can someone please explain to me the optimal relationship of the hips, shoulders and power package when you FIRST reach your left pivot point? Here are my thoughts: 1) Your weight can't get left until your left leg begins to straighten SOME. Not the whole way, but at least some. 2) If your...

    2mongoose: Bustin' the grape

    Hey folks, I haven't posted a swing in forever and this is the first time I've seen it on video since this spring.....so I figured what the heck. My misses are typically a push or a push/fade. I swing a lot more left than I used to (hooked a lot). For the most part I hit it where I'm lookin...

    Buick Open Trip report

    Here are some nuggets from my day at the Buick Open: Nick Watney - He's going to start contending in and winning majors soon. He'll make you forgot about Lucas Glover in a hurry. Brian would be proud of his pivot: Right foot backswing, left foot downswing. Smooth, simple and very powerful...

    Lucas Glover's move

    Johnny Miller (love him or hate him :p) talked a lot about the width of Lucas Glover's swing. Personally, I love his float load and am wondering if this width allows him more room to accomplish it? Can't be all that bad...he's 1st in total driving on the tour this year.

    Soft draw pattern minus the "toss"

    In the SD video (Chapter 10) there's a lot made of the "toss." For someone in a NHA2.0 pattern and lots of FATS Brian is right - the toss does feel like throwaway. So here's my question....what would you have to do in order to hit a soft draw w/o the toss? For one I think you'd have to swing a...

    Angel Cabrera's pattern

    Brian, Maybe you could show some love for Angel's pattern by putting together a similar magazine style analysis like you did for Sergio? Would like to hear your thoughts on his move. For reference, here's the link to the Sergio article...

    What if golf tournaments were structured like poker tournaments?

    I'm not a real big fan of these hypothetical situations that scientists, philosophers and other self-proclaimed existentialists sit around and dream up but I think this one is kinda good.....:p I was watching TGC tonight and some random guy is discrediting Dustin Johnson's win @ Pebble this...

    Let's roll the rock baby!

    There was a thread and I even think Brian commented on it during a Youtube about hovering your driver just before you start the swing. Well, what about doing it right before you hit a putt? Does anyone do this? Didn't Jack Nicklaus do this? I've been doing it for a couple of years now and am...

    #4 accumulator release point

    I've been thinking a lot about the role of the right elbow in the swing lately and came across a post about the the #4 accumulator (the angle between the left arm and left shoulder). Homer felt the #4 accumulator was a "checkrein" for the right elbow - a governor if you will. For you TGM fans...

    ***Official week 2 Manzella Live! episode discussion thread***

    So what would you like to see discussed this week in the second episode of Manzella live! ? Post your requests here! Personal vote: The heck w/ Soft Draw 1.0, NSA 2.0 and NHA. How about Perfect Pivot 1.0? :D We talk so much about what it takes to draw a straight plane line, develop...

    What's the difference between throw out action and snapping the kinetic chain?

    Brian, For the book enthusiasts out there can you outline the differences in your Kinetic Chain theory vs. what Homer defined as throw out action? Would you consider throw out action merely a component of STKC? It seems like TOA merely describes clubhead release while STKC outlines a lot more...

    When is the pivot brake applied?

    More specifically, are the shoulders/hips parallel, closed or even open to the plane line when the chain snaps? I feel like the next movement after the sit down position is my "snap" and that my hips are slightly open and my shoulders are closed to the plane line. I'm not actively trying to...

    Getting the right shoulder down plane (cont).

    In the other "how do I get my right shoulder down plane" thread Brian offered the following: But wait! I think we're missing something here.........hip action. Per 7-15, "The work the hip action does, is to lead and pull the Shoulders back and down in varying combinations." Focusing on a...

    ***Official request to the golf gods to melt the snow***

    Greetings! Don't know about you folks, but I've had enough of this white stuff already (not me in the pic btw). This post is to serve as an official request to the golf gods to help expedite the snow melting process. We've had a long, harsh winter and I'm getting some severe cabin fever...

    Defining Tiger's release

    Here's a really good face on view of Tiger hitting driver. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZimy_vVXKM&feature=related All this talk lately about centrifugal force, throw out action and horizontal hinging, etc. are making me a little crazy and I thought we could use an example. Here are the...

    Somewhat disturbing trend (with pics)

    I'm hitting this disgusting, pull-cut hosel shot lately and it's driving me crazy. The range balls leave a little residue and my contact is clearly visible (see pic below for an illustration). Seems that the clubhead is traveling too far left with not enough roll and at too steep an angle? Is...
