I totally agree. Funny that you mention that; I was at Sarasota today helping my wife get ready for the Ladies Village Cup; there was a guy hitting next to my wife that had the ugliest swing I've ever seen; had to start the ball way out left to bring it back to middle. He noticed the straight flight of my wife's shots and asked her where she learned to hit like that; she motioned toward me and said "he taught me". He asked me what he was doing wrong and after about 30 minutes, I had him hitting considerably straighter. Afterward I asked him if he was going to practice with what we worked on or going back to the same old swing? He had this goofy grin on his face and I pretty much told him the same thing that you said about practice - never change, never get better.
