Baddeley also posted his best placing, one stroke further back in a share of 17th place after a 69, indicating his recent coaching switch is already paying off.

"The swing changes are working quick," said Baddeley, who has returned to his boyhood coach Dale Lynch, after nearly eight years apart. "I felt my driver was probably my best club this week, and that's very encouraging."

That makes me smile...I like Baddeley alot. He deserves to start reaching his potential, or at least get better.

Between this post, the Haney thread, and others, I just don't understand your need to attack other teachers. I never hear or see them bash the Manzella matrix, but you continually bash "them." Sometimes your critique is actually a constructive one. However, other times, more often than not, it seems that you feel the need to boost your ego by thrashing others.

Wrong. The quote serves as validation of the following: http://www.brianmanzella.com/forum/...t-lie-ever-told-golf-instruction-history.html

For Hank Haney to "bash" the Manzella Matrix he would have to do the following:
1. Acknowledge that it exists
2. Make an argument or come up with some evidence for why he is a better teacher than Brian.

But so far as I can tell, Hank Haney is a "great teacher" because he gave lessons to the right pros at the right time. I am SURE that Haney is a 1000 times better golf teacher than I am, but if "giving a lesson to a pro before they win" were the only criterion (and it's the main one in golf the way it's run these days) then I could be a famous teacher.

As far as I can tell, Brian and some members of this board talk about other teachers in negative terms, because those folks don't really seem to demonstrate much in the way of teaching. If I took a lesson from Haney I already KNOW what he'd try to teach me - his method. If I took a lesson from a stack and tilter, I know they'd teach me to stack and tilt.

Brian will try to improve my pattern. And he'll listen to what I have to say (so when I tell him that I've been working on a flatter, more NSA backswing, rather than the SD backswing from last summer, and therefore I think I need LESS of a shift to the elbow plane on the downsing, I expect him to work that into whatever he teaches me), and then he'll figure out a way to make me better.

And you can say what you will about Brian's ego, but I think you miss the fact that he's trying to boost his message and get the word out to more golfers. The greater chance there is that folks will talk about Manzella and Haney in the same conversation, the lower the average handicap of US golfers will be!

As long as they keep preaching their method as 'the way', they'll continue to be located right in the middle of Brian's crosshairs.

Right on, Rich!

I really don't "criticize" other teachers, per se, as in, "hey, I watched 'so & so' at the range the other day, and boy did they suck," or "what a shitty article in Golfers Daily magazine."

If I did, I'd have to write 4 Blogs on it a day.

The "Biggest Lie" was simply that, an article about MULTIPLE better ways to fix a problem. The "Star Player leaves" article was so fair, so blatantly non-critical, someone should have noticed. It was 90% fact and 10% well-based opinion on the obvious.

"Not Enough Teaching" stands as written. I though the same thing when I watched "Tin Cup."

Whenever I am so-called critical, I do it for a damn good reason. I don't just fire for fun.

On the other hand, some folks take shots at me with NO REAL BASIS in fact.

Listen, I write these things because i like to, and because I am doing it for a desired effect.

And unless I get paid a barrel of money with the condition that I "put a sock in it," I will rip when necessary.

On what can be influenced- The Manzella Matrix-The short videos. Why should anything else matter?

BTW...Brian I presume would like for some of them to try, but I'm not sure many people bash Brian's teaching. I just can't see it happening. I could be wrong.

From what I have seen, most try to bash his character. They do not have nearly enough ammo to compete head-on.
