This is must have knowlege. I am purchasing right now.

I've always been dissapointed with golf instructors not being able to teach me how to take a divot in front of the ball, and then I watched that "Confessions of a Former Flipper" and was blown away at the level of detailed help to understand how to get that divot. I noticed that Brian looks a lot like Bobby Schaffer on his "Ultimate Power Golf Swing" video when doing those chips, but Bobby never was able to describe how to really create that divot clearly enough for me so I was still confused why I still hit it fat sometimes. Plus in Bobbys video I always wondered how he stressed and loaded his driver shaft so much at the top of his swing. Now I know.

Hi Brian

Watched the dvd and thought it maybe tough to remember under pressure. However, it works simply and superbly. It's given me a great insight into how to manipulate the angle of the clubface & affect ball flight and ball control in general, without making huge swing, and body positioning changes that don't work under pressure. It's like nothing I have read or seen before, and could only have come, I think maybe, from a eureka moment that you must have had during your teaching career.

The feeling that works for me, I've just found, in the takeaway is one of almost flexing the forearm muscle by forming a fist, without introducing tension, if that makes sense. Sort of a Charles Atlas type thing...

I am an instant convert, but now have to invest in the next installment of my game improvement from your site.

I help out with a local JV high school team golf team. I stand on the range and watch the freshman/Sophomores hit slice after slice. I go up and show them the twistaway and "BOOM". They all think I'm a genius. I show them the (swing left) 2 ball drill - more genius. Its not rocket science anymore............

I just bought NSA2 for myself and Building Blocks for myself, my wife and sister. I had read the perfect pivot articles along with the NSA article but needed more visuals. I havent tried anything out yet, but after watching NSA I feel like my slice is a "dead swing walkin' ". Manzella could have charged double for this video (maybe more).

Also what has been of great help is the youtube of the arms moving down, the pivot moves them around (hitting the ball with your pivot), THANKS!

Just finished watching NSA2 and wow... did I wish I bought this first before COFF, NHA & SD. This is a must have video and it cleared up a lot of cobwebs from my head with regards to how my swing must look on video.

Planning to hit the range tomorrow and will definitely work on what is on the video.

The slice is gone with the irons, I no longer fear the ball going left (lefty)... Driver is still going OB sometimes, but Im optimistic about my game improving and now know why the ball does what it does, thanks to this site, Thanks Brian.

Interesting that in this months GolfDigest, on page 40, a certain Hotel room golf instructor advocates having the clubface point to the sky at the top to get rid of a slice... Where have I heard the before? :D

So far, for me, after watching this video just once - well not yet completely to the finish since it won't load the last 11 minutes :(
This is stuff I have never seen before. The most sensational for me is where you explain lagging the sweetspot with your wet finger sliding off the blade.
I discovered many things when swing back 3/4. Looking at the club head and then thinking of that picture of your finger sliding off. In this very moment i understood, one is supposed to, hmm, like drag the blade square and directly to the ball. Not making any circular motion (casting it is?) backwards. Just take it straight down and not even make any intended rotation, is that right? I mean, did I get it right?
This thought also moved my whole body unintentionally forward to the aiming point. Uh, I think.

This really is a great video. Not only is the advice exceptional, but it's presented in a humorous manner which makes it enjoyable to watch. After a failed experiment with "Stack and Tilt", I feel that my golf swing is now heading in the right direction as a result of watching (and understanding) "Never Slice Again". Thank you, Brian!

Bought NSA2 a couple of years ago but never really committed to it as I wasn't playing much golf (two young kids). Joined a 9-hole club this year and played a ton more than in previous years, mostly 9-hole rounds before work. Dropped my index from 20ish to 9.7 but I wasn't hitting the ball great and my misses were always drifting right. Starting working through the NSA2 checklist and in my second range session today was hitting some nice draws and hooks. Really needed to work on holding the twistaway and lagging the sweet spot. I am so excited about working on my swing that I also bought COFF and Soft Draw.

Wow

This is by far the best information I have received on the golf swing. Who would have thought that all I had to do was lag the sweetspot to get nice crisp consistent contact and most importantly a square clubface. Even with just that one piece of information this video was worth it, but Brian goes through many other methods to help you straighten out the slice. Not only that, but also the little clip at the end to help people straighten out the hook that they will surely develop after applying these methods is great. For only $19 I have to say that it is some of the best money I have ever spent on fixing my golf swing.

Thanks!

A few years ago I purchased the S&T dvds. I did not have any success with this method but it opened up a whole new world for me in golfing instruction. I learned about the "The Golfing Machine", bought the book and joined a few TGM forums. I then decided to purchase another TGM-centric DVD. It was really good and I had some success but there was still something missing. I have always enjoyed Brian's youtube stuff and I was really intrigued about his twistaway concept but I never gave it my full attention because I was not a slicer.

Well over the last few months my scores have started to climb like they always seem to do this time of year but at a more accelerated rate. I was using a strong left hand grip, tracing a straight plane line and rolling through impact. When my timing was good I could play pretty well (I got down to a 3.7 index) but, like I said, since November 2010, I have climbed to a 7.5 index and I was in panic mode.

The reason I bought NSA2 was because I always liked Brian and I wanted to try something totally new but still related to TGM.

Brian's DVD is great! I thoroughly enjoyed it, his instruction is very entertaining as well as informative. I decided to follow it as precisely as I could. This meant using Brian's neutral grip which made me a little nervous but I am so glad I took the plunge. I had immediate success with Brian's NSA2 pattern. I now have a nice soft draw. My first round out I shot 76 (on a tight, tree lined course) with 4 birdies 1 careless double bogey coming in. I only hooked 1 iron shot and a few drives. The rest of my shots were nice gentle draws. My distance was about the same, 105 yd SW, 155 yd 8 iron, 185 yd 5 iron, 260-270 yd driver.

One side note- Ever since stumbling upon TGM I wanted to be a hitter but I couldn't get any distance with my driver and I would battle the shanks with my irons. Now I know I was lagging the hosel instead of the sweet spot. Brian is a genius. I can't wait to see what my golfing potential is.

Thank you Brian.

Thank you so much!!!

Bought the video a couple days ago and it took me like 5 minutes to figure out the proper moves. First it threw me a bit off balance and the wrist position felt kinda uncomfortable. After a bit off ball beating i got accustomed to it.

I frequently hit it fat or even on "proper contacs" the ball started straight but turned right at the end and my ball flight was insanly high - which drove me nuts. Well it seemed that i had an open clubface on top - especially if i overswang a bit - and obviosuly it took a lot of distance away.

With the twistaway and a proper swivel action thru the impact zone it seems i got rid of my open clubface - it feels like it restricts my backswing a bit and i cant do any kinky stuff at the top of my backswing.

As a result my ballflight is lower - and on a much flatter consistent trajectory and i got proper length back.

First i thought i would hit a huge hook with this kind of clubface - but as it turns out, i dont - my ballflight is mostly dead straight or a slight fade (but a proper one) and when i actually hook it, it has different reasons.

All i can say - best 20$ i ever invested in golf - thanks so much Brian.

BTW. in one of your free videos you gave a money back gurantee if it wouldnt work - i guess i wont need to excercise this option :D
