He is miserable because his swing does not look like the one on the range screen. There is a loop at the top, or an elbow that flies, or a finish that collapses to one side as if he has been shoved. He has spent years and a fair amount of money trying to iron these things out, and every time he gets close to a textbook position the ball goes worse, not better. I have a good deal of sympathy for this man, and I think he has been sold a bad idea.</p>
