What is "Swing and Sway"? TGC's Breed talks about it here...

I don't know what swing and sway is but I agree with his basic premise. That is there are many forms of golf swing and they ALL work. Problem is most golf "experts" are proponents of one swing.......the conventional golf swing, the Pro golfer swing. That's fine, but wouldn't you love to turn up for a golf lesson and the pro says....."look I can teach you the pro golfers swing.........but the downside is you'll spend 30 years trying to master it ,have huge issues with minor timing problems.....have trouble maintaining consistency.....have bouts of not knowing what the hell is wrong with your swing and then you'll get into "swing mechanics" and analyze the hell out of your swing to the point where you don't play golf, you play "golf swing"

OR....... you could find a swing method that suits you.

I believe that most students won't hear anything beyond "but".

What's the ratio of keen (i.e. keen enough to spend on lessons) golfers using "tour validated" equipment brands versus all other brands?

I'm not saying the customer is always right - but I'm pretty sure that the average customer wants something that he can relate to what he sees on TV.

However, that's beside the point. I think Breed's argument is that swings work as systems. It's not an argument about stack and tilt per se - it's an argument about staying within a system and not trying to mix and match incompatible pieces from different theories. Hard to argue with that.
