Mag, I think my own swing can stand up over time, and will not stagnate, but can be improved. Just not in the exact same form the pro wants. As for injury, I am pretty messed up already and live with pain just about everyday. I will be very surprised if I will be playing when I am in my 50's. I think my swing is a lot less stressful than the pro's "perfect" swing. You are right about my handicap, and three of your four target areas are what I was working on recently with my pro. He is not real big on the mental approach and he is more about motion than thought. I listen to the pros (about 5) that teach at my local range, and only one of those spends anytime on the mental game with their students, at least as far as I can tell. For me the biggest improvement will come when I stop hitting my short to mid irons to the right (not a fade, but a push or a shank). My own swing does not seem to produce this push or shank to the right. Only when I bend over and swing the club straight back on the line and pull my left arm high and far back. When I use my swing I get a nice tempo without having to resort to these movements. Thanks and I agree that there is NOTHING like going low. IMO, it is the ultimate, and takes more skill than the other thing, lol...and it lasts longer too. Hit em soon. TH
