I've actually quite enjoyed reading the threads, not that I think I'll ever do anything with it but, as Gareth says, it is about knowledge.
The one thing that does stick in my craw a bit about it is the tone, i.e. everyone else seems to be "wrong" not "different". Which is quite ironic really as they seem to expect everyone to appreciate their point of view whilst not accepting any other. Hey ho.
This doesn't bother me as if I'm doing it "wrong" I don't really care but for new starters to the game I think it is a little misleading to say everything bar S&T is teaching the "wrong" way.
Regardless what swing pattern you use, if it works for you and give results you are happy with, that's all that matters IMHO :thup:
As I've said in many threads NWJ, it's each to their own.
When I first took up the game in early 2010 i strated off with the S&T pattern, subsequently moved away from S&T and I found I struggled with my game. Since moving back to the pattern my scoring/contact/general play has improved.
Does that mean it's for everyone and the "Be all and end all" of swing methodology, course it doesn't nor would I profess it to be.
It's helped me enormously and admittedly it's still a work in progress (Driver issues) but on the evidence of last night's range session it's becoming better :whoo:

Couldn't agree more Gareth and if it helps people then it's good news and best of luck to them.
Out of interest, I;ve heard a few people on here that are using S&T say they are struggling with the driver, why is that? Is it just more difficult to translate the swing to a driver?
But sorry S&T is not for me. Looks strange/daft to my eyes.

More than one way to swing a cat and all that.

Cat????
A CAT ????????????
That's where I've been going wrong all this time.
It's amazing what you can learn from these S&M guys.
I'm interested and fancy Tryin it but on the other hand I don't fancy trawling through all the pages to learn it haha
