What Swing Method Do You Guys Use?

Re: What Swing Method Do You Guys Use?

Hi Rogue
i agree and i work on my fade, i dont use the draw much as i'm not in control like i am hitting a fade. but ajusting my stance or the club face i can play a ball to fade between 5 and 25 years depending on club.
i dont fade the ball with a 9 iron/wedges like Brian does but my ajusting the face and stance i can change the backspin a bit. so putting a big fade on a p/wedge dont fade the ball much but it lands soft with little or no backspin.
but putting very little fade on the ball it does spin back but never so i can control it so like to play the ball to land with little or no backspin most of the time.
i think the fade/spin fights the back/spin with the wedges.
cheers

Hi Rogue
i changed my clubs to 2 % flatter a couple of years ago and they seemed to help me flatten my swing and its now much more a one plane swing. before it was a two plane swing with the backswing a diffrent plane "higher" than the downswing. now there much closer to each other.
i do swing diffrently to most other golfers with my Lee Trevino open stance swing. with my swing its more of a push shot where you do not let the arms cross over till well after impact and that kind of open swing means you have a type of push shot and work down the line with you swing aim. it does work really well, but like Moe's swing you lose some distance but put it on the fairway more.
i have also study Mindy Blake's swing and its very like Trevino's but the downswing is more a reaction to the backswing. get the backswing right with Mindy's system and the rest takes care of its self.
Cheers

People on this forum should look out for Bill's posts. A person I hold in great esteem, his swing and theories are very interesting and well worth consideration, something a little different and well worth thinking about.
