What I know is very simple, it really does not matter what you do with your club on the way back provided that you get on plane and the club head square at impact your ball will go around about where you want it to. Its easy to say....
I don't want a swing that gets the ball around about where I want it to go, I want a real big boys golf swing that I can feel, enjoy, trust and I can repeat! I want it all, I will get it all.... Its not about getting the ball around the course for me, I want to be better... no... I want to be good.
Steve, ill take your bet... I want odds though! Ill call tonight and make a date, ill pick you up if needs be.

Nice! You just need your epiphany moment, that moment when it all clicks. I had that moment, it involved me giving up everything I thought I knew about the swing and finding out the correct way. Since then I've joined the forum and been ridiculed practically every day by people who really don't know their ass from their elbow, knock everything that is true, support everything that isn't and generally struggle to shoot lower than 80 or get any better despite playing for 15yrs.
You want your moment? Then you have to make it happen, knowledge is the key, find the truth, use it to knock shots off your h/cap as fast as you can... I've seen people make it easily into single figures within a year, scratch in two, it's not that hard... only if you listen to wrong advice.
Is Steve still trying to motivate himself by making bets????????????

Steve doesn't need motivating, you do!! to go the distance!!!
He advised me to just work on one thing, we picked weight transfer and though I still work on plane it is and has been my focus all winter.
God I am a lier, I am working on plane, weight and angle of attack on the ball but mostly weight. I have been able to shift it with my drive for a while so I know the feeling but its not so easy for me with the irons, I seem to have less time even though I swing slower with my irons.

I played a lot as a kid and had quite a few lessons. I could knock it around in mid 80's but drifted away from the game for a few years. Got back into it in my late 20's and got down from 17 to 12 in a couple of years after a good few lessons to get rid of a nasty slice and lots of practice. Good pro who helped me understand my swing and how all the bits worked together (or didn't 
). A couple more years got me down to 10 and I almost made s/f but I plateaued and found it harder to make the time and effort necessary to get it lower (kid, job, etc) although my pro thought I could have done. Was usually let down by a couple of silly holes or a bad day on the greens resulting in 82's instead of 78's. It's quite a fine line at that point especially when you are at the limit of your ability. Drifted back up to 12 which I think is fair.

You see, there you go with what you think you know. How exactly are you working on angle of attack? do you own a trackman?, why are you swinging slower with your irons? If you swing properly angle of attack will look after itself.

Because I feel like a god with a driver in my hand and a nob with an iron. I can drive, my body knows what to do, I am confident and usually for good reason.
I am looking at angle of attack as I have been a bit of a sweeper this year and I want to trap the ball and let the club head work as its intended to.
I don't claim to be a coach but I do try and be sure of what I am working on, I spend a strange amount of time trying to understand the golf swing. its all part of the same thing, if I am getting my body in the right position at impact then the angle of attach is correct. If I have to work on the angle of attack to get my body in the right position then its a worthy exercise innit? We all learn in different ways, I have not found mine yet so I have to try them all

heh, to an extent it's whatever floats your boat... it is ultimately YOUR boat, still whoever's boat it is there's no point rowing it if you can stick an outboard motor on it
