As I read the article, I thought, "This article is garbage. It's poorly written and says nothing. It's as bad as he's claiming the instructor he's criticizing to be." Then I realized it's the same guy that wrote this gem: Lo and behold, it's basically the same thing I said about the last one. This guy just doesn't like golf instruction and he doesn't know shit about swing theory. And possibly physics, even though his bio says he's a scientist. He's completely misunderstanding what the purpose of a tilted arc is. It takes advantage of the anatomy of the human body and it's ability to generate power through rotation. Part of how it "creates" power too is by lengthening the swing arc, which allows more time to transfer energy and speed from your body to the club and ultimately, to the ball. There's a reason long drive guys don't have short swings. There is a reason the one inch punch is so hard to execute and more people get KO'd by a hook than a jab. The entire article, just like the last one I read, reads like the rantings of a guy that just doesn't like golf instruction who's probably never had a good lesson in his life. -

I've got the watch, since I'm left handed in everything except golf I wear watches on my right hand. From Shot Scope the suggestion was to wear it on my right hand but tell the unit that I'm a left handed golfer so it could try and pick up the tags better. I was already used to tagging when I had Game Golf and manually selecting on my Samsung watch with a prior app, so I just tap the sensor to the watch band before each shot and haven't had a single issue of it double counting or anything so far through 45 holes. -

He does club fitting at another location. I thought there were a lot of people that were fans of learning from the hole outwards. When you are a 50 year old beginner like me, making contact and making it go pretty straight is a far different side of the spectrum that fatting it, thinning it, whiffing it, etc. He has been instructing for 30 years. I have been to 4 PGA teaching professionals. Not a single one of them looked at me gripping the club, saying it was fine, etc. Isn't the grip the only thing that connects the player to the club? I don't even have a consistent full swing yet, not sure measuring for lie angle and that stuff would matter at this point. Thanks you all.
