Instead, instructors should design a swing tailored to each golfer's body mechanics. "All of this information is like an MRI for your swing," says Harmon. "Wherever the tumor...
Perhaps the only downside is that once you get treated like a tour pro, you might start acting like one. "I don't want to go back to getting instruction the same way I have, now that I have this information," McPhee says. "If my instructor had had this technology, we could have eliminated 30 lessons." And bought a couple more clubs with the savings...
