Change It or Improve It?

I'm talking swing here and I'm interested in people's views on this.  Should you try to change your swing so that it technically correct like Tiger did, or do you work on getting the best you can out of what you have like Furyk has?  Even the top coaches are split to some degree on this. so what do you think? 

For me, I'm on the side of Furyk.  Tweak what's natural rather than try to impose on your body something that isn't. 

I think, that if you've been playing for a few years then you should try and adapt what you have. Even if you rebuilt your swing and started from scratch, you would never have the time, money, coaches etc to get a swing as good as a pros. Just enjoy the game and be as good as you can be.

agree - enjoy - work with what you have with a small tweak here and there

and when a little twaak works - great (until something else goes wrong) I would think that over the years we all know what we tend to get wrong anyway

but also learn a lesson we had video's taken of our Society swings a couple of months back and guess what a number of us had nightmare games for weeks and weeks after trying to correct ! 

twaak !!!!

Is that a new swear word I've just invented ?

what do you have to lose Chris

When I was a member of Clevedon G.C I could tell by a persons swing, who it ,was from a distance where he could not be recognised visually.

This alone tells me that swings are personal, but that does not mean that they cannot be improved.

The most common fault is that the majority tend to not swing on plane or the correct path, yet if they did this, and without any other changes, their golf would dramatically improve.

To start completely afresh, is something, which in my opinion would be a waste of time ,as I doubt that anyone would be prepared to go through the pain, after all we wish to enjoy our games.

For the purists, like David L, he is forever searching for the little things that will make the difference and I am sure that he is not far away from producing the scores his ability deserves.

Everyone should be capable of bogey golf and that is eighteen handicap.

Monkeys are noted for their ability to swing, Jonny P.

To achieve the ball flight that you do means that your swing is fine. If you don't want it then give it to me as I would love to have it.

Jonny,

I also struggle to hit it low, what did he suggest you do??

John.

Hitting it low is my natural shot, only wish I had the strength to hit it higher.

To hit low : Look low,left shoulder low.hands below belt way passed impact,finish low

Hit high : look high ,left shoulder high ,finish high
