    trackman videos

    i have been watching some of the trackman clips on you tube, and it looks amazing! i have noticed that most tour players using it seem to be doing it mostly for fitting purposes, gapping, etc. no one seems to be using it to help in fixing ballflight/swings (manzella academy obviously excluded)...

    strong double action grips

    manzella academy

    a couple of ?'s for the best in the biz: 1) how does nha relate to the underplane flipper? i know brian's m.o. is to take away the need to flip, but if you give a hooker a more closed clubface...:eek: 2) how do different loading actions (no torque, pos., neg.) as brian explained in sdp relate...
