The problem is you can 'look' like youre in the right position but actually how you got there was all wrong and so geometrically your body (shoulders, arms, hips etc) are all out of sync. Standing up and coming out of the spine angle is one example, a broken left arm/collapsed wrist is another, too steep a swing plane, disconnection etc. All would look OK'ish on a video or in a mirror but they all need correction on the way down
