Short Game Savvy
Here's an article Brian Gay and I did recently for Swing Magazine, a cyber magazine delivered directly to your mobile device. According to the founders, the magazine now has a subscriber base of 300,000+, and they expect to top 1,000,000 within the year.

In addition to writing Brian's articles -- more Short Game Savvy is coming! -- I have since January been doing a monthly video instruction feature. So, expect to see as well as hear more from me in the coming months.

Dual Horizontal? How?
Great news Yoda. Really looking forward to it. Couple of questions if you dont mind.

-For those without fancy phones, will you be copying the articles , videos to this site as well? To be honest, I have an Iphone but am wary of potential direct marketing spam type stuff.

-Since the Steve Stricker thread which covered his and Brian's chipping method......level left wrist and no left wrist cocking, Ive been working on it and love it. In fact I really love it! But a question for you if I may: I found at first a tendency to wag the club under the plane. I could fix it with a pure Angled Hinge but Im wondering about Horizontal. Horizontal only will go under plane I think. Dual Horizontal will keep the club shaft on plane.........but how do you best accomplish it? After goofing with it and reading this article would I be right to think that its the Right Arm Pickup , the bending right elbow that lifts the left arm (as per Homers Dual Horizontal photos) which allows the clubshaft to stay on plane? Another reason to not freeze the right arm or triangle or whatever. Has Brain's left arm been lifted here?

Geez OB, if you were a hitter like us normal people, you wouldn't be struggling with this. It's the MAGIC OF THE RIGHT FOREARM bud!

So true Kev. So true.

With a 10-18-D HALF, Left Wrist Action, maybe?

Double Horizontal made me crazy for a minute there. Still does maybe.

not sure if this works in the UK but put my details down earlier.

Great idea though, I'm sure the UK will have it pretty soon.

One of the first lessons I learned from Yoda, correct head position chipping. I had always had a head position behind the ball, influenced no doubt by Nicklaus's views and putting stance.

Suffice to say, getting a centered head position chipping has made a very big difference in my shortgame, in a very short time.
