Doing the right swing.

Look, we all know that swing mechanics are critical to the game. Unless you've never turned on the TV, never read any Golf related magazines, or never done ANY reading on Golf on the internet you already know that.

But who's swing mechanics are we concerned about here?

Every expert categorically states that [insert their preferred swing style here] is the ONLY swing style. Their grip is the only grip, their address is the only address, their... you get the picture.

High handicappers, specially high handicapper Kinetic Golfers are particularly susceptible to that kind of balderdash.

News Flash: the emperor has no clothes!!!

There is no RIGHT way to do this. Some day soon I'm going to get with my friend with the doctorate in physics and we're going to talk ballistics and angular velocit. But from what I recall from my physics 101 - 215 days: there's are several solutions to that projectile/trajectory/distance equation.

Or to put it differently: I don't care how optimum someone else thinks a swing is, if you're not comfortable with it, it's not going to work for you. Don't do it!

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Albert Einstein (supposedly)

Ok, so on the one hand I seem to be advocating making no changes but on the other I'm trotting out this old saw about not making changes.

So which is it?

Change for the sake of change will screw you over every time.

Calculated, rehearsed change will help you.

Finding the middle ground is Zen. :)
