Just a thought about swing style. I have recently read Bobby Clampetts "the impact zone" and was curious about peoples opinion on what Bobby considers style. I assume this to be such things as plane. I have a flat swing ala Hogan however I regurly consider changing this to a more conventional plane.

However this in theory is a mute point if you take Bobby's book as gospel. So then why is such things so hotly disputed?

Just curious to others opinions

905T with Graffloy blue
200 Series 15 degree Wood
Original (1998) Tour Burner 2-PW
52, 56, 60 (in variace combo's depending on 2 iron) White Hot Centre Shaft


I would call One-Plane or Stack and Tilt types of swing styles. My advice would be to work towards achieving a proper impact position, but do it with your own swing style or form. That's what all the greatest golfers have done.

Totally agree...

Putter: White Hot XG #1

Ball: NXT tour

I think of swing style being how a player sets and finishes the swing. A lot of elite players look different from each other when they swing, but they all produce similar results and look fairly the same at impact.
THE WEAPONS CACHE..

Titleist 909 D2 9.5 Degree Driver| Titleist 906f4 13.5 degree 3-Wood | Titleist 909 17 & 21 degree hybrid | Titleist AP2 irons
Titleist Vokey Wedges - 52 & 58 | Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter | ProV1 Ball

if you are in the correct positions at impact, it does not really matter how you get there. I have a very flat swing, but my impact position is great. I don't care what I look like as long as I hit it where I'm looking.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

    • Day 215 - 2025-05-03 Hit some balls at Downback. 🙂 @NatalieB is a college graduate now.
    • Purchased a new set of Ping G410 irons with True Temper XP 95 (R300) steel shafts (4-PW) at a good price. Had moved to graphite shafts many years ago (spanning various irons sets from Titleist, TaylorMade and Mizuno) thinking they would be appreciably lighter to help my slower swing speed. My weekend golf partners told me to quickly re-shaft the Pings to graphite. I must admit: (1) these clubs feel as light as any graphite shafts (2) I am hitting these irons the purest I have ever experienced in an iron (3) they fly straight!  Just looking for reinforcement to stick with the steel shafts.
    • Birdied the short par 4 #16 at Quail Brook today. Drove it into the greenside bunker and got up and down. This is another hole I didn't birdie all year last year.
    • I have not been playing well so far this year. Had some back tightness issues that have been bothering me for a couple of weeks which didn't help things. Today didn't start much different. Shot 50 on the front, could barely hit the ball in the air. Kept trying to make adjustments to get something to work and wanted to quit. Something must have worked though because I ended up shooting 39 on the back with 6 GIR. Stupid game.
