For Brian Manzella Academy only: Confessions of a former flipper

Hello guys. I watched Confessions of a former flipper, absorbed the information and took it to the range today. On most of the full iron shots I tried, the impact seemed to really make a difference. I did however have three issues that I usually do not see in my swing. 1. When using the pivot and just holding on to the club, I shanked it about 50% of the time on the pitche/knock-down shots( I rarely shank, and if I do, it is always with shorter shots). 2. A more than typical amount of iron shots went to the right. 3. When usuing the driver and trying to achieve impact hands, I hit a few pop ups, which I never have had an issue with. Should I chalk this up to learning something new and taking time to come around or is some of this typically happen. I appreciate any input.

Whoa!

Have you see Never Slice Again?
 
Hi Brian,

Regarding Flipper, which I have, is there a trick to do the stinger shot? I know you mentioned practising the 4 alignments, but i just cannot seem to keep the club below my hands at the finish. It simply have a mind of its own and want to swivel and go to the finish. Even shooting the marbles don't help.

Am I direct the force wrongly?

cheers,

daniel
