Most misconstrued golf concept

[Goober]

Sent Monte a message on his rebellion app.And I asked him what is a current fad in current golf teaching being misconstrued or taught wrong.He said 100% swinging low and left. That one concept (interpreted or taught wrong) is ruining amateurs left and right 

 

just some thoughts for the day

Too many current instructors do not understand the significance of fundamentally sound grip technique and , or how the grip influences the entire golf swing.

Consequently, too many current instructors do not know what proper technique is, so they don't teach it. Sadly, when asked about the grip too many instructors point to the one in a million Tour player with a faulty grip and say "see, this guy has won millions with his unorthodox grip, so grip does not matter".

Obviously, someone can make just about a bad grip work ok, but doing so is a million times harder than it is for players using a fundamentally sound grip technique.

That is pretty interesting! More had a ton of stories about pros who lost their swing mojo after getting caught up in a trendy method...
