I understand. If one allows themself to get to caught up in the thought process of the two different swings it could cause some real conflicting body movement to say the least.

For me, I'm just trying to learn everything I can about this game (I'm stll a newbie and I at least want to know what people are talking about when they use all this terminology). I am learning to glean out what seems to work for me and leave the rest.

What I found most interesting about this article is that it suggests that if I am standing more erect but have a wide stance and a "strong" grip - as opposed to a neutral grip- I am mixing my setup for two "very different" swings.

If this is true, then when we talk about setup and swing mechanics - and give advice on same - how can we do so without first definning which swing we are talking about? Would somebody out there care to explain this to me . Because it seems to me that much advice is given without first considering what type of swing is being employed.

Now some, I know, employ neither a one or two plane swing. Some golfers I have observed appear to have a three or more plane swing .
