Very funny Mike!

Just for clarification- I wasn't trying to be funny. The better the player the more variations I would allow. That's why I wanted him to let us know his handicap, etc. No sense changing Lee Trevino's arched left wrist at the top- if he's got a pattern that works well.

Now, it's just me but if the same player had a Lee Trevino looking swing but was a 40 handicap - then I would try to make it more conventional- simpler. Likewise, I'd be a little nervous or careful about changing a component in Lee Trevino's swing- I'd rather have him understand the components in his swing and realize where things might go wrong- or how all the components add up or offset to produce good golf shots.

So it's a combination of how well the pattern's ingrained and how proficient the pattern is - that would determine if you want to change it- ofcourse, combined with the goal of the student.
