1. Bent left wrist at the top
2. Poor left hand grip
3. Intent to hit the ball AT the target
4. Chicken-wing reverse swivel
5. Reverse Pivot
6. Circle delivery path
7. Off-Plane right shoulder on the downstroke
8. Forward upper body through impact
9. Poor right hand grip

I wonder what changes, if any, has Brian made to that list.

Manzella Matrix 101...

All shots curve TOWARD the target (centerline)...

So the Right Side of the Manzella Matrix are golfers who CURVE the ball Right-to-Left....

Get it?

And if you are "outside the Manzella Matrix" you can't play evry well (too much curve).

:eek: ;) :D

"Cause" and "Effect"

Here ya go, Mr. Leo:

No.5 plus "hitting it FAR" are the "causes" and the rest are the "effects".

"Intention" is the "cause" and the "feel and motion" are the "effects".

"Sustain the lag" is the "cause" and the "Imperatives and Essentials" are the "effects".

Execute the "cause" to deliver the "effects".

Fix the "cause" to fix the "effects".

OUTSIDE THE MANZELLA MATRIX TO THE RIGHT:
1. Too Strong of a left hand grip
2. Clubface not open enough at all point of the backstroke
3. Over-Tilted backswing torso to the right
