But it is what ever works for your body type and tendencies |
Thanks, TW - you're right about the traditional swing when it comes to me. I get so confused and so frustrated fast that I am just unsure on what to do sometimes. Recently I have been indulging in some Mike Austin/ Dan Shauger swing method - but even that is getting wayyyy too complicated. I have a lesson coming up this weekend that I'm not sure I want to go to because I'm frankly a bit burnt out with it.
I think everything is screaming to go rotational because of my body type - I love the swing actually - I just can't stay committed - which is what my blog is basically about.

Pnearn - I always appreciate your input and thank you for the questions. I will be jotting down your tips.
I believe my mistakes are thinning and pulling with the irons (wedges just fine) and slicing/wiping with the driver.
Something that has come to mind is that my hands are possibly not far enough from my body? The last time I tried to do the One Plane Swing I had my hands fairly close to my body and the result was the slice with the driver.
I will say when I did hit good shots - they were really good! And I mean high fades with all clubs - just a solid feeling, I guess I need to do some more homework and become committed.
Looks like I'll be calling to cancel my lesson this weekend.
Oh, btw - TW - I was a member on Quinton's site for a while, and Pnearn was correct about the comparison to Tiger (Quinton compares himself as well). I think the information was excellent and great presentation on all videos. I will most likely rejoin to help me along.
Thanks guys.
