"Swing Thoughts" Rules and Notes

What Is "Swing Thoughts"?

What is Swing Thoughts?

This forum is going to serve as an outlet for "swing thoughts" - musings and thoughts about the golf swing, instruction, technology, professional tours (related to swing technique and theory), and so on. We'll add a new thread a few times per month, and we hope everyone can learn from what's posted here. Only myself (iacas, Erik J. Barzeski) and a few other chosen instructors can create threads in this forum, but everyone can respond.

This forum varies from the "Instruction and Playing Tips" forum in that this forum is largely to discuss the general theoretical, not to talk about specific issues affecting one or a few golfers.

Come on in, ask questions, and disagree if you disagree. We're happy to discuss things!
