See this page delineating the record of golfers who use the S&T swing. stackandtilt.com/the-record-setting-it-straight/Here is Dean Wilson's record. Note that he improved in his first two years when he started using the S&T swing. Then, his record deteriorated steadily with each passing year. What should one rationally conclude from this record? Should one conclude that (after an initial improvement) that one must expect one's performance to deteiorate the longer one uses the S&T swing? Jeff.

Yesterday I followed him at q school 2nd stage. Compared to the other players in his group he was consistently 30 yards behind with the driver. He had to hit driver on holes the others hit irons. His ball flight trajectory was significantly lower than the others and a lot of his iron shots ran out through the greens. He did putt well and qualified for the finals

Wilson has always been short off the tee and his real strength is his putting. I think often times swing changes, regardless of the changes, have a nice honeymoon period for players and then they start to wear off. I notice that looking at his metrics, David Toms' ballstriking has basically reverted back to his old levels pre-Manzella. But in 2011, he struck it about as well as you can for that given clubhead speed. OTOH, Matt Kuchar's swing changes have had a substantial, long lasting effect. I think a lot of it depends on the player. Often times it's easy to have some great initial success and then start to 'lose' your mechanics and not want to work to regain those mechanics because you're just not in the mood for what you perceive as another swing change.
