A Statement with which I Most Disagree

Let's play a little game.

 

This "contest" is open until the end of the year 2012. Only posts made prior to that time count.

 

I will ship a small prize pack (really, don't expect much, it's more for the heck of it) consisting of at least one custom TST ball marker a1_smile.gif to the person who posts the single statement (a sentence) of their own crafting (don't quote someone else, and if you do, at least try to be sneaky about it) pertaining to the golf swing with which Mike and I most disagree.

 

I don't even know what it is at this point, so it's not like there's an answer out there for certain. I'm curious what y'all come up with.

 

Contest is open to any members in good standing anywhere to whom I can ship a small prize for $10 or maybe $15 or less.

 

Again, post a statement about the golf swing with which Mike and I most disagree and you win.

 

Have fun! No personal comments, either. :)

Amateurs shouldn't try to swing like professionals, or model their swings on those of great players because we can't replicate their moves.

"I get too much sidespin" ... when you have proven that its not sidespin at all, it's tilting of the axis of the golf ball that creates curvature of ball flight.

Swing to the top while maintaining a flexed trail knee, then rotate your hips as fast and hard as you can.

There is only ONE correct way to swing a golf club and everybody should learn to do it that way.

Beachcomber is in the process of a complete overhaul of his golf swing which he should have figured out by next week.

Ball marks on the green can be properly repaired with a tee.

Feel is'nt real. What someone thinks they feel they are doing in the golf swing.

Ballflight is primarily dictated by swing path.

having your weight back and releasing the club head are ingredients to draw the ball

The X-factor is not what creates torque and power in a golf swing.

Spin your hips open early so they clear out of the way for your swing.

That's good so far guys.

 

The ball marks one doesn't count. It's not about the golf swing.

 

"Enter" as often as you like, but if you borrow someone else's and don't improve upon it appreciably, the first poster wins the tiebreaker.

 

Oh, and Mike doesn't know I'm doing this, so he's in for quite a surprise. :)

The curvature of the ball is dictated by the club face angle.

The club path is the primary factor in ball direction and yes, feel is real.

Your head should always move rearward during the backswing, to ensure a proper weight shift to the rear foot.
