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 ?

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?

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.

    • Day 332: worked on my grip while watching pasta boil. Then did some mirror work later at night.
    • You start pushing forward at P2. You start visibly moving forward at P3. Waiting until the top is way too late, yeah.
    • 100%. I've been guilty my entire time golfing of trying to fit everything imaginable into the .25 second downswing. Sometimes I think it's partly influenced by my backswing length and that if things were slightly longer on the way back, they'd be better synced up on the way down. I also kind of lack a transition. Was doing the practice swing drill today a decent bit where I was feeling like as the club got to the top, the feel of the weight was shifting me forward and initiating the fall into the lead leg. I loved this drill before for this reason and because I need to stop thinking of the golf swing as backswing and downswing.
    • The bold is very late.
    • Angle isn't perfect. Just found my TST alignment stick, so will make sure video angles are better in future videos. Focus right now is lower body and lower body only. If I make a single post here for the foreseeable future about anything NOT lower body focused, I need to be slapped (I will make an occasional note on unrelated stuff I might be seeing). It's not perfect by any means, but there is a decent bit I like about this swing. Lower body is definitely better than it was pre-TST meetup instruction. There are some things that are tough to see I think I'm doing better like where pressure is going into the trail foot and keeping that trail hip internally rotated. Need to keep feeling those. I think I do my best work when the trail leg keeps its flex on the backswing or at most loses a degree. Keeping the flex (but obviously not adding any) seems to help feel like I'm loading the right glute and to keep the hip internally rotated. Not totally sold on this though. I think my work on adding flow during the TST COVID-19 lessons really helped even though its been quite some time. Shift -> rotate -> shift -> rotate. I just need more out of my hips. It's not drastic, but it's everything. I think it will help sync up a lot regarding my swing and more power to boot. Unrelated note: I hate my negative spine angle.
