How do I translate the 5 keys into the swing I'm currently learning when some of the keys run against what I'm trying to learn. OK, so steady head ...well OK, sure . But weight forward....mmm, no, My LPG swing requires me stand flat footed with my weight on my back foot. "flat left wrist", well I'm playing with a flat left(right) Forearm, so, no "key" there. And "clubface control" , hitting with a descending blow....hang on no one does that with the driver, aren't we supposed to be hitting on the up for better distance. and even with the LPG swing the swing path is very shallow with very long shallow divots. sometimes I feel like I'm hitting on the up with a 7 iron. Maybe the 5 keys should be renamed "the 5 sort of keys that some players do sometimes when they're trying to swing like pro golfers do"

Taking the above advice may lead to destruction of your golf game. Laughing at it may reduce stress.

That's just it, there aren't any Keys that "run against" what you should be working on.  The Keys are based on factual information, not opinions.

There is no reason to intentionally not keep the head steady, to move it from side to side in the golf swing.  The average PGA Tour player moves his head one inch during his backswing and less on his downswing.  There are many reasons the best golfers maintain a steady head during their golf swing.

Weight Forward at impact.  I'm sorry, I'm not sure what LPG is but we know the average amateur has 55% of their pressure forward at impact while the the average PGA Tour player has between 80-95% of his pressure on his front foot at impact.

No good or great golfers "flip" at the ball a significant amount, and a flat left wrist helps to compress the ball to strike it "pure" every time.

Where does it say Key #5 is about a "descending blow"?  Key #5 begins with understanding the ball flight laws and concludes with applying the principles to your golf swing by learning to control the clubface.  There is a very good chance you're not hitting up with your 7 iron.

Obviously have to have some decent for irons and we very much agree in having a positive AoA for the driver, hitting up.  This thread was started a year and a half ago

MMmmm. well I guess we're all striving to hit the ball like a "pga pro"????....well I'm not....well I'd love to be able to..... but I'm an everyday golfer, I'm not hugely talented, co-ordinated, with hours to spend on practice. So, Why not rethink the golf swing and get realistic. get real. the "pro Golfer"swing is ONE SWING....there are many other swings that golfers of different abilities,skills and dedications can put to use that would benifit them instead of trying to fit them up into this bullshit pro golfer swing. The golf swing that's being promoted in the 5 keys videos is the current "pro golfer" swing.  If the weekend hackers (and I'll include myself in that) on this site think that they're games will improve trying to master the most difficult of golf swings out there ...well good luck! you're chasing your tail. Basically it's co-ordination.....trying to co-ordinate a move that even the most talented atheletes have trouble mastering. Hips, arms, wrists, body, tempo, posture,balance, grip, blah blah blah. If ONE of those elements are "off"then you're in the bushes. Why not simplify the golf swing.....remove as many variables as we possibly can....take the grip out, the wrists, lag etc. Look for a swing type that is attainable. The swing being promoted here is not attainable by the everyday hacker,it's a myth being peddled by those who think the golf swing is a fundemental discipline. I reckon , get off the merry go round, be realistic about your game and your ability to master the same golf swing used by some of the most talented sportspeople around, and seek a different route. Single axis, LPG, Taly, natural Golf, E2E, HSS.....take your pick, any of these styles are much better suited to the average golfer that the "only"swing promoted here.

I certainly have no false hope that I will ever be able to hit like a pro, but the 5 basic principals are pretty universal. Regardless of your swing, if you work on these 5 things I believe you will improve. My swing is nothing like "the swing promoted here", but these 5 particular "keys" are still invaluable and things I work on because they are certainly applicable.

If you would like to take the grip and wrists out of your swing I would say go right ahead! However you will not likely ever attain even a reasonable usable swing if you do.

Yeah, who wants to flush the ball all day long.  That's just boring.  I just want to dig ditches for 18 holes.  That sounds like a WAY more fun way to play golf!

I hear some dude named Tigger does that?  I hear he's a decent duffer too.

What do the pros do better than nearly all amateurs? They get the same results out of their swing over and over.

What helps you to get the same result over and over? A swing that is easy to repeat.

So to get a swing that is easy to repeat, that will give me the same result as often as possible where am I going to look? At those who do it best, pros.

Yeah.  I saw the OP's other thread about lever power golf (LPG).  I looked for youtube vids of guys actually doing it and it all looked very unathletic and snake oily to me.  But whatever, it's not like there aren't other ways to physically swing a club, and some other method delivers repeatable results for you, then cool.

This post, however = LAME.  So the OP and 5 other guys are trying to swing the golf club in a totally different way.  The 5SK guys have a totally reasonable teaching philosophy and system for how every single other person who plays golf tries to swing (more or less).  The OP's original thread extolling the virtues of his preferred method is fine.  Here it's just unproductive.

Look at Rustyredcab and the Moe Norman swing guys.  They do a bunch of things differently from how Erik or Mike would teach.  They extoll the virtues of their chosen swing style and talk about how it's helped them.  If prompted they might discuss why they think some of the stuff in the more standard style swing is harder to repeat consistently.  They don't write vindictive, mean-spirited posts attacking others for having a different swing style.

Thanks.  With this game we are at the mercy of how the equipment is made.  Golf clubs are built to be hit with shaft lean (Key#3), and are built on a tilted angle (Key #4).

You don't have to hit the same exact numbers as the tour averages to play good golf, just gradually move towards improving your priority piece.  There isn't necessarily a 5 Simple Keys "swing" because swings from Jim Furyk to Matt Kuchar fulfill the 5 Keys.  Obviously very different looking swing but both keep their head steady, have the weight forward at impact, have a flat left wrist, swing the club on an inclined plane (different ends of the spectrum but neither is "straight back and straight through") and both understand their pattern and know how to align their body and clubface to accommodate for certain shots.  I'm saying this because if a student came to us with an unique backswing, like Furyk, and consistently hit it solid, we wouldn't change it to just to make the picture look better.  Now if the unique backswing consistently caused problems then you'd have to make a move towards a motion that would produce less compensations.

Thanks.  Here is a quote from Chuck Evans and I think he does a great job of explaining the values of a system.

Quote:
5SK takes what the greatest players in history have done and breaks it down to well...5 Simple Keys.

With the aid of the latest in technology, 3D Doppler Radar - Flightscope, 3D Motion Analysis - AMM 3D, and Pressure information from Swing Catalyst -3D motion plate system, people watching the DVD can see precisely how the body moves and the relationship between the body, clubface and clubhead.

5SK is not a "method" but rather a system that allows any "method" to be taught within it whether it is S&T;, One Plane two Plane, Natural Golf, Impact Zone, 8 Step Swing, TGM, MORAD etc.

By having this information the player, and the coach, can continue to use their preferred methodology within the 5SK.

Your premise is false.  The pros don't employ the most difficult swing in golf, they employ the easiest swing in golf.  If you get more enjoyment from the game by employing a more difficult swing, that's another matter.  Perhaps you need more of a challenge to keep it interesting.  However, I suspect that the rest of the golfing world simply prefers to play the best golf they are able to play, rather than something less than their best.

Hey MvMac.... can you link me to any of the info you talk about here (studies or such). I am interested in how they worked out that info -  was it just to static postitions (e.g comparing set up to top of the swing) or was it through actually tracking the head movement of a player throughout the swing?

does this only apply to lateral head movement, or to up and down, forward and back head movement also?

Could you link me, or put some youtube vids of some of the tour pro swings up here also so I can see what you are talking about? thanks

Lateral head movement, and as many or most of the studies we have are paid for, no, we can't link you to them. If there's public data on this I'm sure you're capable of finding it, but our data comes from things we've bought, so we're not at liberty to share them.

I'm certain you're capable of finding YouTube videos of tour pros, no? This isn't really the thread for that.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
