Some of his points make sense. I assume a folding wrist is a flip. Very withholding on "the secret" though and that's enough to turn me off. Anyone know more about weird golf trick instructional philosophy?

I don't know anything about a "secret" and all I really know about a square to square swing is what Sam Goulden says in his U-Tube videos. His version anyway looks like a Steve Stricker swing to me (and he says that) which I like because it's simple. Helps eliminate the chance of an intentional wrist cock accidentally turning into a cupped left wrist.

Square-to-square also sounds somewhat like Bradley Hughes swing philosophy which I really like (GolfAus on YouTube)

Square-to-Square was a hot new approach to the golf swing back in 1975, featured in several Golf Digest articles. eBay has some links to the Square book:

http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Square-to-Square-Golf-Swing-Golf-Digest-Editors-and-Dick-Aultman-1975-Paperback-/1409364

The 1970s also saw the emergence of Jimmy Ballard and The Connection. Ballard wrote a book in the early 1980s, and has had more enduring success as an "alternative" approach to the golf swing. B still runs his school in Key Largo, Fla.

Square arrived with all the hoopla of the more recent Stack-N-Tilt. Square faded out after a few years - seems not all of its rules worked for everyone.

More recently, Doug Tewell from the Champions Tour has a Square-To-Square swing system he touts online. He says it works especially well for over-40 golfers who have lost the "big windmill swing" of their younger years. From the videos, it appears he adopted it personally circa 2000.

Also, Square supposedly has "the secret" which will help us all break 80. Sorry, I don't know what it is.

Sounds like the Golf Revolution thing. I clicked the link, now I get e-mails every day from some dude named Dean. The ad says Jim McClean will fix your swing for Free, unfortunately that's Not the case. If your gonna charge for a service, say so, don't try the bait and switch thing on folks...Errrr  Sorry for the OT..

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
