DonM azgreg I've had the opposite experience. I can do his swing pretty well with no prior practice. I guess it's because I'm pretty still in my regular swing. I'm just not sure I want to use his swing.
accufitgolf Harvey Penick said something along the lines of if one can repeat the swing, one can use it.
azgreg Ran across a new one for me today. Ride Side Swing. I guess it was pioneered by a guy named Gary Edwin. Looks a bit like stack and tilt but there are differences. This guy Ewan Rankine has a lot of videos on it.
garyt1957 Have tried this off and on two or three times. Finished the end of last season with it and picked up yards with the driver and couldn't miss a FW. Tried it this year and can't get it to work

DonM garyt1957 The right side swing you posted on the swing forum a year or two looked so good. So you can obviously do it. Then the fine tuning begins. And that is a long process. Probably never ending. But if a person keeps hitting the reset button, they’ll never get to the fine tuning.
scotts33 DonM But if a person keeps hitting the reset button, they’ll never get to the fine tuning. +1. Personally, I have returned to the Manuel De La Torre swing that I have had the majority of my life. I have been re-reading Manuel's book "Understanding the Golf Swing". I have tried some different swing methods over the years. Manuel's/Ernest Jones swing is easiest on the body and makes sense and if the golfer understands his/her swing you can self diagnose and fix your swing malady. That's the issue with the modern PGA swing method of today no one can fix themselves nor is it easy on the body. http://www.manueldelatorregolfteaching.com/

Probably never ending. But if a person keeps hitting the reset button, they’ll never get to the fine tuning. Always felt like I needed an on site instructor to give me a little fine tuning. There's a guy at a resort in OK that teaches RSS. I've seriously considered making the trip
scotts33 garyt1957 Sorry to hear about Sparks. Seemed like a good guy. Brian one of the good guys even if you didn't believe in his weight shift/timing swing there are so many other factors discussed in his Positive Impact Golf book ie. staying away from the negativity that golf can begat and move on to better swings and golf and life in general.
garyt1957 DonM. Haha, better late then never I guess. He's at Winstar Casino Resort on the Texas/Oklahoma border
azgreg I've got to protect my back better. I'm contemplating a swing makeover this off season. Right now I'm thinking about giving the Sparks or Junge method a go.
DonM azgreg The Junge, Graves, Moe Norman method is very easy on the back. That’s why I started using it 17 years ago, and it’s been miraculous. Sometimes I try a conventional swing, and it doesn’t take long to remember why I changed.
Eguller azgreg First thing's first though. I've got to stop rising up during my backswing. May as well add another one - check Paul Wilson on YouTube. No tension swing.
DonM azgreg I feel that the Moe swing prevents that from happening. Same for early extension, which maybe is the same thing by a different name. Edit: I read backswing but my mind went to down swing.
scotts33 DonM I feel that the Moe swing prevents that from happening. Same for early extension, which maybe is the same thing by a different name. Especially if you do Moe's vertical drop move. 👍
