sdandrea1 I've played that same basic swing for 15 years. It is very easy on the back.
The setup is all important. I say that for a normal swing, the setup is easy but the swing is complicated. And for the Moe swing, the swing is easy, but the setup is complicated.
Every time I get into a swing funk, it is because I've let my setup get bad. The setup guides you into the correct swing.
Scott, the short short irons is an impact issue. Probably it was making you scoop or flip. I was a flipper for the first several years with it, and my short irons went high and short. Once I learned to be better through impact, my short irons became good.
