Switting???
Pardon my ignorance, but I do not recall Homer using the term.

All kidding aside, I have posted many times before on this subject and I feel it necessary to get back up on the stump to voice my opinion.

QUIT TRYING TO PURELY HIT OR SWING!!!!!

The "pull" in the golf swing is from the body's rotation, the "push" is from right arm thrust. Why not rotate the body and add some right arm thrust when needed for more power? I believe Homer said that no matter how the lever assembly is moved it always moves in a circle.

Homer also stated that the same pattern is rarely used more than once in a golfer's lifetime so why try to copy it everytime. Use the book to make YOUR stroke better. Sometimes you have to swing and sometimes you have to hit.

Once I quit trying to make a "pure swing" and just work on compression, the results became pretty good.
