Again thanks for all the advice and conversation. It really has helped me sort out what I am seeking in swing theroy. I need a security blanket or towel "Hitchhiker' Guide to Galaxy" to return to when swing flaws creep into game or when renewing my game after Wisconsin winters.

What I'm hearing is the Plane Truth is not ground-breaking but does present, in a reasonable manner, basic ideas. As long as those swing fundementals are not too rigid perhaps I can use them to get feel back into the game witout rediscovering the wheel each season. I definitely like the connected swing as it has a better flow and chance for repeation for me.

I am very comfortable with a 7 Hcp and am unwilling to go through the process of retooling my game at practice range. So a maintence program is in play.

BTW saw an interesting article commenting on how ours brains are hardwired in terms of repeative sports actions such as golf or bowling. Animals which need to repeat motions such as walking, chewing etc which do not require much concious thought have those motions hardwired in lower brain-spinal complexs. Therefore the actions are very exact but sacrifice adjustibilty. We Homo Sapiens exert much more concious control of our actions therefore amplifying our ability to adjust to conditions but losing precision. This explains why one day the swing is on and the next off.
We gain the ability to cut or draw the ball but lose that ability to execute exactly that same shot in a temporal enviroment. A bit falalistic but we as humans also seem to enjoy games of "chance" Iron Byrons we are not.
