All of a sudden i had some decent compression and better direction to boot. I started to mess with snap loading again on the range and had no success. I have no doubt there is a logical reason for this but would like to press on using sweep loading. I would like to know how compatible this loading is with swinging. I know Homer favours a stroke with the least compensations and wonder how far from that i am straying by using the sweep. I am starting to hit the ball well on the range with the sweep and have used it most of my life. I am pretty sure two great examples of swinging with sweep would be Faldo and Els. Maybe it isn't straying to far from the safe?

I think in the 7th edition revisions (sorry, dont have them here in front of me), Homer changes it to random sweep. I think.

Regardless, you must do what you feel comfortable with. If snap doesnt work, there is nothing wrong with sweep - in fact, I would suffice to say most tour pro's are sweep versus snap.

I think you're on the right track. The ball doesnt lie.
