Swing Change
Had a chat with a pal last night and we realized that every golfer we know has or is having a change in their golf swing. I then looking at myself and I figured there is not a consistent 6 months that I hold a swing without any surgical change. Maybe it is my plane, maybe it is my wrist, maybe it is my hip. Lately I just adjusted my follow-through to some form which I think is right. From minor to major movement that is related to golf swing, it seems that from time to time it needs oil lubing and freon recharging, but does it?
While it is good to have the ability to make self correction, lube those rusted joints and tighten those loose nuts here and there, but is it more a self alertness or self correction in the end? What is the difference? Self correction as I realized I made a mistake or built a bad habit thus I will make some changes. Self alertness as I know I am swinging badly but I do not what is the cause so I try a new movement and maybe it will return better result. While the first approach could be rewarding, the second approach is more likely to be devastating and could act as a double-sword. I could become the captured victim of my own domain. In addition, say that I know what a good swing is and I realize how I should make a correction myself, changes usually takes time to burn in so that new adjustment in the movement has the opportunity to turn into a permanent golf swing… If I continue to make changes every few months, how could I expect any distinguished result instantly?
I should give time a chance; I am laying my hands off the equipment and swing change for the time being. Constant-changes is addictive, bad habits die hard.

Can't agree more with you on this. It takes time to master the change. It took me almost a year to get used to the new set of irons.
