Golf swing aids by John Dunigan
What is important about a golf swing?
Think about it, Hogan, Byron Nelson, Lee Trevino, Sam Snead, Tiger Woods, Ernie Els (the list goes on and on) all
looked) incredibly different as they swung the club. They stood differently at address, had vastly different backswings, their hips were in different positions on the downswing. I could go on, but that's not the point. If and when you looked at what the club was doing during their downswings, you might have learned all you ever needed to know. Remember: The club is the only thing that hits the ball. It makes sense to focus your attention on what the club must do to create the shot you want.
The only thing these legends had in common was their amazingly similar swing planes (see photo #5 under Swing Plane). Which made them all tremendous ball strikers. We have long been shown the differences in great players' swings. Isn't it about time we looked at the similarities? If there is anything you should copy from great players, let it be what the club does. That's what counts!
