I am switching to Universal Swing!

"the games are within us all"

How do you find these things @Phil McGleno ?

[natureboy]

These guys should get in touch with the guys discussed in another thread, where we were told why Rory is such a poor golfer:  http://thesandtrap.com/t/75116/goofy-rory-video-knee-angle-measurement-in-golf-swing

They need to get their stories straight.

I was thinking this was another Somax "Performance" special too. LOL!

On the plus side, it doesn't seem that they require you to join the cult in order to receive all the really swag devices. Just imagine a 'book of knowledge' in a 2'x4' sheet of pictures. My mind is swimming with the possibilities of learning to hit even more consistently fat with the divotizer.

Wtf? 133 different training aids? Was it just me or did the guy swinging look like he was coming over the top?

[ghalfaire]

Gotta be a joke.

Probably. Doesn't look like the acting talent had a lot of prep time...my favorite is the guy fumbling with the triangle thingy.

Not saying I buy into this, but the instant reactions of the crowd reminded me of what Columbus, Galileo and Louis Pasteur must have experienced as they poked holes in the conventional wisdom of the time.

15 years ago if this guy told us that the path of the clubhead did not determine initial ball direction he would have been laughed off the forum, just sayin.

Columbus, Galileo, and Louis Pasteur would have been able to explain pretty clearly and rationally why the conventional wisdom was wrong. In this collection I see lots of well-established golf training ideas repackaged and pitched as 'magical' devices. The triangle thingy is a potentially useful concept (see my avatar pic), but really only needs a diagram and a mirror to work with to be helpful. I think the 'divotizer' would promote bad habits - or do you understand how it's supposed to work?

Jorgensens book came out in 1991 I believe. And long before that you could take a putter and swing it 70 degrees across the ball and see the ball start kinda straight to where the putter face was not the path.

So when Columbus told everyone the world was not flat the scholars embraced his rational, don't think so.

So for the last 15 years your saying everyone embraced or knew the common knowledge that the face not path determined initial ball direction? Don't think so.

No of course not. Some people still do not say it is clubface. But if you think that everyone-Including the people who run this site-would have laughed you off the forum because of it then you must not be paying attention. PS This Universal Swing is a joke. Did you even watch the video? This is not going to be the next ball flight laws situation. Comparing the two is silly.

No, like I said in my first post on this thread, I don't embrace the universal swing, I was just observing the maddened crowd feeding on the unconventional.

Enough scholars for him to get financial backing from Spain. Plus there's that sails disappearing over the horizon thing that could be shown to someone who was more open-minded. The general public at the time, yes, certainly less open-minded.

Reverse C finish may restrict right side through impact. Divotizer bugs me. Other stuff not necessarily bad.

The markup is what really offends me, but the price point for products with polished website may lure in some folks looking for band-aids. Buyer beware.

This is OT, but the Western world did not believe the Earth was flat during Columbus' time. That's a grade school myth that people need to stop perpetuating. He couldn't get financial backing for his voyage because most people thought he grossly underestimated the distance to India (and he did, if he didn't land in the New World, they would have all died) and refused to throw away money on his endeavor.
