So, here's my dilemma. Being playing around 6 months and had a few lessons, but can't afford many because I'm short of cash recently.
I've developed a fairly reliable swing on my own. I make good contact on most shots and can hit pretty straight, and have a consistent enough gap between clubs to pick the right club more often than not. I'm an ex rugby player so not very flexible in the shoulders, so my swing is very arm-heavy, which restricts my distance, so my average is say 180 yards with my Strata driver, 120 with my Strata 6 iron and 80 with my Strata PW.
I've had a few lessons and tried to get more shoulder and hip turn in, and when I can make clean contact I'm going about 30% further with each clean hit, but I'm struggling to get consistent hits and accuracy because the swing feels uncomfortable.
I'm not going to be able to afford many lessons, and this obsession with a better swing is spoiling my scores and fun. Would you guys stick with the new swing and try learn it on my own, or just go back to the old way?
