Guys

I played a tie today with a guy who hit the ball as clean as I've ever seen. Needless to say he whipped me. Afterwards over a beer I asked him about his swing and he said the following

'Alls I do is rotate my left forearm to the top, feel a flat left wrist and then use my hips to rotate a straight left arm and flat left wrist down to the back of the ball and then back to the inside'

Now to me this sounds like pure gold .. a simple pviot rotation of a FLW into the back of the ball ... can it be this simple? Because straight after 2 beers I hit the range and tried it and started hitting the ball clean too? Was it just the beers:D or has he just simplified something I was making way too complex?

FLW = Flat Left Wrist, Pivot rotation is hitting the ball with your belly button or core - swinging with the shoulder sockets.............

LOL, yeah Im of mind like that. My problem is and why I stated that is because evey forum you goto to get information people are set in their ways. If I goto FGI.com and others to look and see what swing tips people are talking about, people are at each others throats with in 2 reply posts lol. Your teacher is god, my teacher is god, his way is best, no his way is best. Hell, by the time you read all the posts, you forgot why you went there in the first place. I am just a golfer whom is trying to get better. I understand why things work for some people and not for others, as in life. Thats how I found BM.com. To be honest, out of ALL the sites I have been too and all the ones I have tried using their methods. Brian's site is the only one I have used tips from and saw results at the track.

Now, its time that I have to give him some of my money. Wife always loves that. I wonder were I'll be shopping this weekend.:)

Welcome Rob, i started out at FGI as well and actually i have stayed away from there for so long because there are too many "bad golfers" trying to give PROFESSIONAL advice. I'm an analyst by profession, not a IT technician. When i need my puter fixed i go to my friend, i don't ask a bunch of other analysts ;).

Please feel welcome and if we can help with anything.
