Best video I've seen you make (not that I've seen them all) - not sure who produced or edited the video - but the transition from discussion to lesson and the "calmness" of the presentation and progession - excellent.

 

[Brian Manzella]

TrackMan produced.

They did a really good job.

The comment about increasing angle attack by changing where on the downswing you hit the ball (as opposed to steepening the swing) was a lightbulb moment for me

same here.

 

[James Marshall (Hogan1953)]

What about those players who still hit down on it too much and are swinging too far right?

And players like Tiger who seem to be having to swing more left to compensate for the steep A of A and get into almost like a vicious circle, more down, more left.

Nice!!!

Sounds like a new thread....

Here are some quick answers:

Down too much and swinging too far to the right——less slide.

Tiger needs more arm swing.

Really really really good video BMan. Lots of lightbulb moments in there for me..

Great video. I need me some serious "impact point" teaching. I would love to see more vids of Brian teaching on Trackman. Very interesting stuff.

The really impressive part is how he adapts, changes, and gives what's needed for the next guy in line... and then the next guy... and the next guy.

Me as well! It never dawned on me to move the arc through body movement. I just hit down harder to increase the attack angle!

 

[gmbtempe]

Great job.

I had always understood the angle of attack/hip slide relationship as its how I went from cut to hook.

The rotation to get open though is the tricky part.

Hope the guy who was asking about changing Coaches for his son watches this video. It would convince me.

What the great editing does not show is that the actual fix was in like 4 or 5 balls! And believe me, I take no credit for that, it was all Brian. Similar to mgranato's witness Brian's adaptation from golfer to golfer as he's teaching with Trackman is awesome and so enlightening as an instructor.

 

[jbrunk]

That was really cool. I could watch Brian give lessons all day. I have got to make one of these tour stops someday just to be able to learn and play and take part in one of the 'dinners'.

 

[Jared Willerson]

Brian is really good on the lesson tee. He uses trackman but he also has a great eye for the swing. Brian helped me this week over the phone remembered my swing and my tendency to overdo things, an over the phone conversation had me hitting it better in a few balls.

 

[Lindsey Newman]

Bottom line is dude (Brian Manzella) wants to be a great teacher even though he already is.

 

[hp12c]

Such a short video, but with so much free excellent information. Bmanz you are shining a bright and I mean bright light of truth into golf.

 

[bryan@nobackswing.com]

The rotation to get open though is the tricky part.

are there stance/setup options that have helped with this? in my swing, i am looking to preset as much as i can to make the body move as close to instinctual/natural as possible.
