Like bending over so much at the waist, and severally limiting my hip turn, this just kills my distance and accuracy. I do like the idea of keeping the left arm pinned against the chest and a complete shoulder turn to square the clubface, but like I said before I'll be doing great with this swing and then I'll have a bad round or two and go right back to an upright swing do okay for a couple of rounds then begin to struggle and back and forth we go. I just ordered the DVD from Chuck Quinton because from what i've heard he teaches the one plane swing very well and puts you in a more naturally setup position. I'm going to dedicate myself to this type of swing whether it kills me or not. I'll keep you posted.
p.s. Does anyone have any reviews on Chuck Quinton's DVD.
Dont go the whole Hardy route. If you look at Quintons/Tiger's setup they are more upright at address. I really ddont like the term one plane swing, he just teaches a swingers pattern rotational swing, with a flat left wrist/passive hands - same as Brian Manzella or Greg. I know its tough but why dont you try sticking at it when you have a bad round. Keep the left arm connection and rotation. Its so easy to just switch between swings when you have a bad day. Stick with it and try and work out what went wrong. Most likely it was setup, grip etc

If you do have a bad day come back and ask for some advice! Im sure i've been through it and maybe Random too!
