Of all the methods I have tried...

the Mike LaBauve (at GolfLink) "One Plane swing" method is by far the easiest to learn and implement. I wish I knew all this BEFORE I went to the trouble of going through multiple swing theorys and equipment adjustment. I lost a lot of time and money listening to some unsound and unusual advice.

I feel that S&T has some good merits and it could possibly work for me if I had proper instruction. Just don't trust any instructor on teaching it correctly in my local area.

LaBauve's and Jim Hardy's One Plane swing theory are quite different. Hardy's backswing and downswing instruction is very odd and I was never able to duplicate it successfully. However, the one thing they do have in common is that they both teach to be "still and quiet" over the ball during the swing; no severe weight shift or body movement. The only problem I seem to have is that at times, I tend to lift or stand up during the downswing and the end result is I push it right, sometimes severely. This is not a fault of the swing theory, just bad execution. The Bonar method can be done successfully with the One Plane swing but I tend to be a little wild.

Just some humble opinions for anyone that has been on the... what did they call it? The golf merry-go-round?
