Today.

80 balls.

A clinic.

Hit it close. Hit it straight. AND Far. ANY shot I wanted.

I chipped good, putted very well.

Totally different pattern.

There is always hope. ;)

Why do I bring this up? Because you have to always believe there IS a CUSTOMIZED answer for your game.

I believe. :)

Hitting it better myself lately,
- Swing more left
- NSA type backswing
- NHAish downswing
- looks like a combo of Rich Beem & David Toms. I'm really hitting it a lot better
- highest 9 hole score in last 6 rounds.....39

Only another 6 years 364 days to go then Brian....:)

Way to go Brian. I am ready to win some $$$$ from you when you come to LI. What do you say??. Hacker versus Teacher or teachers if Mike wants to be in on it. I think it will create a nice buzz on this site. $30 a hole or skins game with Mike......................

Calm down Brian, I wasn't knocking you....just stating something I find incomprehensive, considering most golfers can't even pure 10 shots in a row...:)

The Pattern

It is a VERY conventional pattern, a double-shift—sqaure-square—strong-single action grip, etc.....but it FEELS totally different to me, almost in every way.

I hit it even BETTER TODAY. Bored with hitting a very small green over & over, I tried to hit the pin with my last dozen balls and had a few that scared the heck out it.

Senior Tour??

I just would like to be able to play once or twice a week. ;)

I have played lest than 15 rounds since Katrina. :eek:

If he gripped it cross-handed, should he teach that to all his students? Or, should he get them to do what works best for them?
Brian doesn't teach one grip. But instead the right one for the individual. It just might be that neutral works best for most people.

Don't take someone else's medicine.

Tom,
I gotta ask you...have you been taking too many hormones?....
And do those two big lumps affect the way the gyrocopter handles?....:D

I guess I take things too literally. I have Brian's Building Block DVD. I have all his DVDs. In Building Blocks he states get a netural grip and keep it. Fix your swing not your grip. Kinda implys a netural grip for every one. I do know a stronger grip helps to control my slice.
