Take a look, tell me what you think. I find it interesting how he thought his swing felt, almost like the "carry" that Brian talks about.

I don't know if it's a secret as much as he got rid of his remnants of a reverse C move.

The Good Player Fix.

Most good players need these things when they go bad.

1. Swing More Left

2. re-trace backswing Shoulder Turn, early in the downswing

3. Later axis tilt

4. Manzella 1°-to-1° rule

5. "Yellow Brick Road" sequence

6. The "tumble"

7. The "carry"

Hmmm....

Sounds a lot lot the "Baby Fade" Pattern.

This is a good example of what separates Brian from the masses in golf instruction.


You won't see this in any golf magazine.
 
The Tumble is an Italian metaphor. In the words of Mr. Stallion, "Swing as if you were a dime-store mannequin, and you want the left arm to disconnect and tumble down the fairway." The Tumble gives trouble to the other guy, and beauty to your trajectory.
 
Here's another example of a GREAT player than can't really help a chop get better. While I'm 100% behind his explanation of the carry (cause that's how I have to feel when I play), the shoulder player stuff about keeping the head steady is RUBBISH...

Man, you'd think a guy as good as Watson would know what caused the loss of spine angle and head bobbing.
