Been busy but finally had the chance to watch these clips...thanks Bagger for the time/effort posting them. And Yoda...you are getting so good at this...great camera work...great narration. Hope you didn't get too busted for the driving range portion...but that was great stuff. Seeing all those guys up front and personal while working their craft was thrilling...sensing your excitement made it that much more special. Watching Brian at work on the course inside the ropes was so cool....being right there with you...thanks Mr. Yoda for taking the time and thinking of us...you're the best...and best wishes to Brian on Sunday

To HG and the others who have posted in this thread, many thanks for your feedback.
For the others who have looked at the videos but not posted, we are curious why the response has been so low.
There have been over 350 views on this thread, but less than half a dozen members have provided feedback on the videos.
Are these videos something that you would like to continue seeing?
Are they interesting to watch and do you learn anything from them?
Do you get the same kind of behind the scenes video from somewhere else?
Would you recommend these to friends? If not, why not?
Are you nervous about posting?
Are you waiting for someone else to express a point of view you agree with so you don't have to post?
Are we missing something or doing something wrong?
What can we do better?
What would you like to see?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Watched the first two; very interesting.
I will watch 3 & 4 when I have a little more time to savour them.
Thanks to all at Team LBG for this stuff. I know its free but its still priceless.
Thanks for including us, Yoda. I have not watched them all, but I saw enough to know that you did not have to do one minute of it! I was amazed at your willingness to look like a "tourist" as opposed to the best teacher on the range that day...just for us. Have you no ego? I enjoyed the "interview" with the Little Pro the most. Your are the best in more than one sense. Thanks for doing all the behind the scenes stuff, Bagger
Many thanks Yoda and Bagger. Extremely interesting

Videos are well worth watching, especially 3 & 4 in the practice round. I downloaded them to my desktop---took a while to do it.
If you haven't taken the time........do yourself a favor and watch them.
You'll pick up a different style of bunker technique from one of theverybest on the PGA Tour.
Also, around the greens chipping where "quiet" is really emphasized.
You'll get to see how truly difficult #8 was and how slippery the slope was in front.
And some up close video of one of the Tour's best putters.
Interesting to see how narrow Brian's stance is.
Also, interesting to note that his left hand is just over the end of the grip.
And great narrative from Lynn, of course.
This kind of stuff is "worth it's weight in gold", man....thanks so much for taking the time to do all the work I know was required to get these videos up.

And thanks to Brian & Kipper for letting us "in."
Thanks, Asleep, for your insights. This is the direction I had hoped this thread would take.
As you have said, there is much "gold" in 'them thar hills', but despite the many hundreds of video views (and they are accelerating), the silence thus far has been deafening. Lurking is fine, but if we all just lurk, then . . .
What's the point?
If 'views' were our only concern, we would have popped these up on YouTube and walked away.
We are here for a purpose. Anybody want to discuss the procedures of one of the world's greatest scramblers -- http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/info/xm.html?130 -- as demonstrated in the video of his putting, chip shots, pitch shots, 'rough' pitches and sand shots? A man who, in one of the strongest fields of the year, would four days later finish T-20 in the Championship?
How about the spin reducing Power Draw?
Or course strategy, like learning to leave the ball below the hole on lightning fast and sloping greens, and techniques to deal with it when you don't?
C'mon guys. You want an interesting thread? You gotta participate!
Brian is using a slightly rotated plane line to get what seemed to be to be a tumbling draw.
I think I heard he "pulled his right foot left [back?] one inch?" to get this.
I picked up that Brian thought he was creating less spin with this setup and that he may need a driver with less spin???
Question: I don't understand what Brian is actually doing with his right foot or how he creates less spin on a right to left shot -- the spin reducing Power Draw?
Not sure why there has been no response to your question. I would think he is reducing the effective loft which would reduce the ball spin rate. It would be informative if the effect on his launch angle was known. Addition spin could give him more carry_do we know his ball speed? OTOH, I would think closing the plane line and the stance line would be a correction for a pull_rotate the machine.

Right you are, asleep. The Closed Plane Line -- not merely a Closed Stance -- causes the Clubhead to approach the Ball more from the 'inside' the Target Line. When you reduce the Downward (but not the Outward) element of the Three-Dimensional Downstroke, you automatically produce a shot with less spin.
However, care must be taken not to exaggerate the action, else the effort can quickly degenerate into a smothered Hook and a consequent loss in both Power and Accuracy.
