After seeing the video of my swing last week, I had a pm from James. Now I'm aware that some will be shaking their heads at this point, but bear with me.
So I spent a few hours with James on the range at the golf club. As you'd probably guess he went through some of the S&T principles, ball flight laws etc.
I won't bore you with the details, it's been covered elsewhere on here. But all I'll say is that my ball flight is much more predictable, my dispersion cone is much tighter, and I feel much more confident that the ball will go where I want it to. It's early days yet, but if I stick at it, we'll see where it takes me.
What I do find amazing, is that after a few hours, I've made some drastic improvements. Yet after lessons I've had before, I've never seen such a dramatic improvememt. I just have to work at it, and hope I can transfer it to the course.
If you struggle with consistency, I'd consider taking a look at elements of the S&T. But I would also suggest having someone guide you through it. If James wasn't there I would have got it all wrong! Using video footage from last week and today was also useful.
It might not be for everyone, but if you've plateaud and struggling to find any sort of consistency it might be worth a look.
The advantage of it is, is that there is a lot less going on with the swing and the movement than in a traditional swing. I'm no expert, by a long way, but if there's less to do and less to think about, there's less to go wrong.
I'm the biggest cynic around normally, but I went with an open mind today. After-all, what did I have to lose at the moment.
I won't say that I'm an S&T convert yet, despite my words above. But I will give it some time to bed in and see what happens on the course.
We won't talk about where my car is tonight! As I'm sure James will enjoy telling that particular story.
