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

    • I think I remember reading that Wilco Nienaber broke some record for having the fastest hands at around 27mph. His clubhead speed is probably of the order of 130mph or so, so that's roughly 5 times as fast. As Erik said, the math gets very complicated - it's at least a double pendulum system, but also with the "fixed" point moving and all the forces and torques applying to the club and the hands and the rest of the player start to get very complicated. My coach works with a biomechanist and between them they've put out a few books on the physics of the swing and it's hella complicated, but fascinating.
    • Well, it was four years ago, but… yeah.
    • It's still moving, but it's not very fast (which "almost" might cover), and it begins slowing down around P5.5 to P6 in most good players, for a bunch of reasons. The math gets pretty complex pretty fast seeing as how we have two hands, the club is acting on them while we're acting on the club, etc.
    • I was talking to a buddy of mine and he said he stock a GPS tag in his golf bag. Seems like it might be a good idea. What do you all think? Have any of you put one in there?       
    • I am six and a half minutes into this video and honestly don't think I can handle any more of it. I do see some of my swing in his - sucks it inside and gets across the line at the top. He also looks like he comes OTT a little, but is then very in to out. That's probably my cluelessness about the swing showing up though. Did I hear him say he's 15* in to out? That's insane and not something I would think anyone would want to do. I'm surprised he put this out there if his goal is to sell his method to other people, you'd think he'd find someone good who uses it to model it, not himself.
