What do you define as success?

I changed to 'my version' of S&T on Jan 1st 2010 and shot a personal best 4 under par 7 months and 23 days later after being injured throughout the year and not practicing at all... is that success?

You get out what you're prepared to put in... the pattern is definitely viable, makes a lot of sense, and will more than likely improve your ball striking.... but if you don't embrace it then you might aswell carry on swishing away the way you currently are. It would be no different than changing from a 1 plane swing to a 2 plane swing and then not really trying... then blaming the 2 plane swing for not working properly.

I did find that it was a swing that I could just go to without having to have 100,000 swing thoughts... if I didn't practice I didn't feel that I was back at square one. Even now that I don't play a lot (or practice) I still feel pretty confident when I tee it up... it's the short game that deserts you the fastest! :D

There's plenty of support here on the forum if you decide to give it a go... what's your h/cap? history in the game?
