Elbow Swing Players with lots of accumulator release separation are more like artists than golfers. I can use the Elbow Plane as well as anyone but I don't like the amount of physical effort. I don't like any physical effort. I hate the effort and I won't swing a club that way. It takes all of the fun out of the game for me. The TSP is a no-physical-effort way to swing. Zone 1 is simple and the overall feel is that I'm just making a motion. Comparatively, the Elbow Plane Zone 1 just tires me out. I'd rather go to the gym and do 3 sets of a Total body workout. Here's my comparison, with the TSP I can hit 500 Drives and I don't get tired. With the Elbow Plane, I'm wasted after 100 balls and my hands and core muscles will hurt the remainder of the day. I'm sure that if I did it every day for years, that wouldn't be the case. On the other hand, in favor of the Elbow Plane, it's very pleasurable to set up at 50 yards from the Green and plunk 200 balls using the elbow plane. I find very few things in life as pleasurable. I can do it with my eyes closed. __________________ Daryl Last edited by Daryl : 08-31-2010 at 01:57 PM. Daryl View Public Profile Send a private message to Daryl Find all posts by Daryl
