Fundamentals - a quick thought
Fundamentals are not exact absolutes for everyone. Let's use set-ups for example. A fundamentally correct set-up may vary from amateur to amateur or from tour-pro to tour-pro. The next time you are watching the pros on t.v. notice their set-ups and how they are not all set-up the same. Some are bent more from the hips with their drivers than others, some stand further away from the ball etc. etc. The important factor is that they are fundamentally set-up properly to their swing style (or shot). The same goes for my students and what they want to achieve out of lessons. Some people are simply not capable of putting their bodies in positions that they should be in. This is one of the reasons why proper golf instruction is so unique from player to player.
I'd also like to add that I am not discrediting Mr. Hogan's 5 Fundamentals in any way. A large % of my teaching philosophies come from him and his lifelong work. Mr. Hogan was simply instructing golfers in what he thought was the best and most repeatable way to strike a golf ball. Trying to give instruction to the masses is practically impossible but as of yet, there still isn't a book out there that tops his. What better advice is there than from the greatest ball striker ever?

A common golf swing question- "why do all my clubs seem to go the same distance?"
.....research pending...The answer may not be as shocking as you think!
