Right Sided swing
 

Just want to find out if anyone of you have heard of this theory.

Gary edwin an australian golf coach who coaches rod pampling, paul gow, peter senior, gavin coles, (used to coach peter Lonard) also jan stephenson, among other up an coming aussi tour players. Gary edwin came up with the right sided swing method.

he teaches to set up foward or into yourself at address(slight angle in spine so you have "shape", no lateral movement maintain the swing radius. If you body angle changes during the swing so does your swing raduis and then you will not hit the ball off the sweet spot. All of his students call weight transference "Pressure" if he does talk about weight transference it relates to your upper and lower body.

he likes his students to think of turn as a feeling of the arms pulling the body around, with the shoulders responding to the direction that the arms are going.

he also says club face DOES Not relate to target but it relates to body shape.

this is just a brief discription of the theorys. i want to find out if u guys have heard of it???

if it relates to any ohter theorys out there, your opinions etc. have a look at his website.... http://www.garyedwingolf.com.au there is videos of alot of his players on there. He has got alot of negative comments about his method over the years in Australia becuase his method is "Out there, wacky etc" to traditional golf teaching. also his players look funny when they swing!!!!


also check out this with some of his theorys http://www.garyedwingolf.com.au/coaches_corner.asp

That is pretty interesting. I do not think those swings look funny at all. Perfect tripods with stationary head. Looks like hand controlled pivot for sure. I love how quiet the motions look. Nothing seems to move further than neccisary.

I haven't read much about it...but I hear these guys are good ballstrikers.

I asked Paul Smith (A.I.) on iseekgolf said it's good stuff.

Apparently a good method.

I'm not so hot on the "into yourself stuff" personally...maybe it's because I'm not so familliar with it but I don't think so.

TGM still has the terminology right.

The motion of the club is all that matters. The club is the boss.

What some of these swings 'may' lack in power is made up for by a very stable center and solid impact alignments. While I think that getting narrow on the backswing does have trade offs, as long as the hands know how to move around the circle and get to impact and follow through, the ball doesn't care how you get there.
