And how much they expect to get out of their bodies. I play with a retired guy who swings SMOOTH and slow and he can play A LOT and does play A LOT. He plays 5500 and doesn't miss a beat.
Jim Venetos swing can be dangerous

I tried that swing for a while and I ended up hooking everything and literally smashing into houses. I just couldn't afford that type of stress. I'm sure I was doing something wrong, but it didn't work for me.
Well, I don't think anyone is more more flexible and possessing of a more normal and fluid swing than Fred Couples. and he has had a bad back for DECADES. He sure didn't use the Venetos method. What I am saying is that golf can be hard on your back, no matter how you swing at the ball. I look at the Venetos method as a suggestion of how to swing inside out. If it makes your back sore, adjust it a bit until your back feels better. As for me, I am going to try it, if only as a drill to improve my swing.
I was using basically his preset swing for a while. It worked pretty well at first. Was a simplified way to have weight forward at impact.
Trouble is that I somehow found a way to eventually work my bad habits into it.
