Should you swing a certain way because a tour player does it that way?

Tour swings do have oddities and they are all about the results in the end (especially when playing for millions of dollars each week)...yes...but the most important thing to note is that swinging a certain way can be "far from simple to execute" -- golfers need to realize that there are ways to swing the club that are more efficient and easier to execute. Because Paul Casey (or anyone else on tour) does certain things doesn't make them correct or efficient. It just means Paul Casey has done them all his life and has an uncanny knack for playing the game (and somehow makes it to solid impact). If the average golfer attempts to implement this move in question they will hit across the ball every time and become a frustrated pull/slicer.

Yeah, there's a reason nobody teaches Phil Mickelson's swing.
