I never really thought about following any particular "method" with my golf swing. But looking at those videos I got to say those swings look exactly like what I'm hoping to achieve: short, simple, compact, solid golf swings. I might just have to start looking into this S&T; thingy.

Where do I start with this ? Is the book good for self instruction ?

Yes the book is good, also some good links

thanks

I made a few practice swings with it after watching the vids. It all seemed to make sense and came easily to me. I will report back after I try it on the range (that might take a while, it's snowing here atm).

I know people drool over grant's swing but, he has alot more curve than charlie and some of the other guys.  I would rather have that ball flight.

Just appears that way, can see more of the middle of the range in the right pic.  Faxon had the same angle.  Grant was definitely controlling curve when I was filming him that day

Not many of us have a trackman to take to the range, so I'm really liking the incorporation of numbers/measurements synchronized with golf swings and then resulting protracer ball flights. Wondering what the popular golf swing media reactions will be, or if they'll even take notice. If Kostis were to watch :53 to 1:07 (from Erik's video post), his fuzzy head might explode.

Does one need to have watched the first set of DVDs to be able to understand the new ones or do they standalone?

Or put another way, can I get away with only having read the book before purchasing these new DVDs?

I spit out my coffee!

This looks much more polished.  I can't wait to get it.

You'll be fine. The first DVDs were as dry as dust and really didn't add a lot to the book -- in my opinion. These look fully comprehensive and much, much better. Can't wait to get my set.

My wife's birthday is February 22nd.  I hope she likes the DVD set I just pre-ordered for her.

    • Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.
    • Day 9: 2/16/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Swing pressure shift drills.
    • Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.
    • Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
    • A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
