For skilled players, why do I see good drivers who can't compress iron shots and guys who can compress iron shots who can't drive it??
This would be an interesting topic hopefully Brian can clear up this whole debate.
btw has the forum changed cause i was reading a new thread on kinetic chain by the hammer but i can't locate it anymore?

This is a really great question. I'd add also: does it mean that you basically can't have the same swing for a driver and for irons ?
Cheers
I'd like to see this answered, as well as Dariusz's addition to it. i.e. the need for two swings.

I like CMartin's question, the need for two swings.
I am definitely in the latter, can compress the crap out of short and medium irons, but not so much with the driver.

working on your swing alone

Given you have some basic pattern you are trying to work on such as soft draw, stack and tilt( you know I have a good reason to consider this) what is the best way to practice to work out the swing. Do you break each major component seperate and focus on it like the pivot , takeaway etc.. Or do you look at the whole swing and refine the more noticeable deviations first? Also given your alone do you use video, mirrors,practice stations some training aids to go along with it?
I personally don't believe the average golfer can really improve without the ability to work on their improvement alone since for most people access to a good instructor and the costs prohibit frequent useage.
This is not saying a instructor like you can get them started in the right direction but in the end the real learning that must be take place is the students responsibility.

NSA or SD1. When and how do you know which is the better pattern to stay with? Is it all clubface control that tells you that NSA is better for an individual or should the person strive to use SD1? In my case, I could not get SD1 to produce a draw (in fact I was hitting more rights with it), so Jim K correctfully recommended I work on clubface control. I went back to twistaway and I am better off for now. Can some patterns just not be right for some people?

I second this. What is the best way to practice swing changes working alone? Especially considering that what you feel is often very different from what is happening.
