Some one recently asked the question about right foot flare.

This is hopefully illustrative of how it can effect certain pieces.

The right foot was adjusted from 5* to 25* and an understanding of what the hips and right knee should do.

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?

looking forward to the DVD's & some good winter time viewing

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

    • Day 45 (22 Apr 26) - good friend wanted to play the Weds shootout. Glad we did as I had the most consistent round in a while - 38/41 for a 79 (first sub 80 in months): 27 putts, 9 pars (7 were up and down 1 putts), 8 bogies, 1 birdie and 0 dbls or worse!  This is the 1st full round where I’ve not had at least one dbl (or worse) and 0 penalties.  I also came 1 hole from having “no sixes” (bogied the par five 16th).  All the drills came together today for a solid round.  
    • Day 568 - 2026-04-22 Created a 33-minute playlist and paused it while I stopped. I mostly did some backswing and a little downswing work with the mirror. This got me most of the way through the playlist, so then I chopped for a good 15 or 20 minutes.
