But maybe practice with silver or copper necklaces first, or you’ll waste time and money for no good reason.

- dcrazy 10mo agoThe golf swing is extremely non-intuitive for several reasons, not the least of which is the physics of trying to swing a hunk of metal at the end of a 3-foot rod around your body at 100mph. Fixing one thing will often send something else out of whack. Improving the golf swing requires system-level analysis, trying new things to see what else is affected, and then fixing the regressions.
