I used to hit the ball ok with my normal swing.. then i read hogans book, tried it out... first shot went 275, next was a 210yrd 5 iron, then a 307yd drive... all nice draws, and very high. then all hell broke loose and i pull-hooked a lot.. then straightened it out a little but still pull-draws with good distance. however the swing off the tee was NASTY. went everywhere.
then i hit the ball decent again somehow.. then got the shanks. then i was toying around at the range and came up with a nice swing.. a few hours later i see this same swing in golf digest... the stack and tilt. i thought 'hmm thats odd i was jsut trying this today without even reading this!"
worked great at the range.. and i shot decent on the course with it.. but the irons just werent crisp the 2nd time around (they were fine the first time). so instead of tuning them up.. i switch BACK to the hogan style, with poor results. hmm go figure? so now im contemplating going back to the S/T idea i had going... but i cant repeat it again! argh.
so would u guys stay and try to work on a traditional swing or should i try to find my groove in the stack/tilt variation? im hitting 20% good shots, 50% playable and about 30% poor shots with either method right now.
my "normal" drives were about 250-270, with the hogan swing on a solid hit about 265-285, stack and tilt good swing about 270-290.. but those were with different balls too. the hogan adn the ST yielded similar distances but both are quite erratic. a bad hogan swing is a shank off the hosel that looks like a low pull. bad ST is a thin pull or a big slice. i dont even remember what my original swing was back in april.
