Sidestepping like/ dislike Venetos discussion! Id like to ask Venetos swing proponents here to please share specific swing thoughts and moves they have developed to make the Venetos swing work. Mr. Venetos allows 2 tips for the backswing/ downswing, be still and ensure left shoulder is not open at impact. But what exactly are you holding still? Betting a lot of folks need to dig a few more swing specifics out of the dirt, I did. In the end, I do like my version of the Venetos swing. All the while conceding it is probably not best swing method for great players. I'm ungifted and cannot swing like them. Curious what specific tips others can share. Thanks. PS my technical own 2 cents. Shocking to me, I found in Venetos swing I best keep left shoulder position still in space still throughout swing, not only lower body. Crazy, left shoulder hardly moves rearward or downward at all. Arm/ hand swing. Swing powered at the bottom by rt arm hand throw. Seen Pete Cowen tennis ball You Tube where he throws ball 3 ft past where ball sits? Suggesting combining that tip with keeping lt shoulder still and Venetos swing. Hope this helps a few Venetos fans out there.

Not criticizing golf books of yore, but it is hard not to appreciate the greater detail in some newer books, like those of Jim Hardy and Laws of the Golf Swing (Adams et al) book. Like everything else in the world, golf instruction only get more interesting and better. Hardy does not re-hash old bromides. He is thinking hard. Thanks Mr. Hardy. For me, his single plane release model with bowed right wrist in followthrough is an alternate golf universe. Hey, if you have not torn up the golf world with your golf game (I have not), why not have fun trying it out? 2 questions for any accomplished single plane Hardy-philes out there: One, I have noticed when I try use right arm/ wrist more in downswing ball does indeed go straighter-- but I tend to hit it fatter. Makes sense. Bottom of a right arm held club bottoms out well posterior to that of a left arm held club. Since thin is usually better than fat on scores, not good! Seems hard to overcome even with more posterior ball position. Anyone out there had to work out this problem and have recommendations? Also, I have chronic right rotator cuff condition and it flares up more with right-dominant single plane swinging. Curious if others have same issue. Thanks.
