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

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.

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.

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 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
