Love the swing as it validated alot of what I believe I do when I am striking well.I noticed you are alot more uright in your actual swing than your rehersal or when you discuss the swing.In the rehersal you seem to bisect the right bicep.Yet when you strke the ball you are bringing the shaft between the shoulder and neck.Please clarify if I miss understood something.

Thanks

@secretogolf I am always a bit upright. I worked with Jim Hardy back in 2006 and I struggled for years to swing on a flatter plane. In the rehearsal I move mainly with my core but in my real swing I tend to lift a bit with my arms. I have a feeling that it is just something to do with my particular body type. The main key is to maintain a square face at all times. If the arms float a bit up it's not going to kill you, as long as they stay inside coming to impact.

Sam..have you noticed an increase in your ball spin on the greens? Are you able to stop the ball better?

[samgouldengolf]

@noudo25 I am spinning it more than ever. I have changed to a lower spinning ball and it's excellent. The driver is going straighter (some from the swing and some from the lower spin rate) and the irons still spin a bunch.

It was great meeting you with Paul the other day. I actually came home after you mentioned to watch the you tube for your square to square principles. Believe it or not, I instituted it one day after watching it and instantly saw improvement in my ball striking, distance, and direction. Great tips.

@charmon8 Excellent! It really is pretty simple.. not necessarily easy but simple. Keep at it. If you need more help just email or call me. I'd be glad to help you one on one.

Sam I started hitting the ball like this and it is amazing how straight I'm hitting my irons! I feel like I lost alittle distance . I have been setting up with the ball forward in my stance . Should I line up more in the middle ?

Great instruction. It worked for me. I did a little search and foud the much comdemned Jim Flick square swing. What is the difference between yours and his? Thanks. Kevin

Sam may be right. Other theorists think differently (it may not be a question of "right or wrong", just which works best for you), check out Kip's Golf Myths.

I remember when me and you would talk about this concept....in it's infancy. So glad to see how much progress this concept has made.

Sam is an extremely insightful and soon to be golf guru. For those that have been doing a traditional or even "modern" swing, Sam's method will be a bit difficult. Mainly because you are really forced to use your core so it will be hard to repeat the swing until that gets stronger.

It took me about 3 weeks of 3 times per week to really get it. Really keeps things much straighter and keeps your spraying left and right to a much tighter scope.
