Re: a simplified version of the back swing

Hey Pnearn

I don't necessarily agree you have to get to the top of the backswing a certain way but you do have to have all the fundamentals right so when you get there you are set and as you say can swing back through the ball. In this instance I kind of agree with eastley, once you are set up all you have to do is swing back, but I disagree with eastley in that you have to acheive a good top of back swing position. And top of back swing can be anywhere eastley, cause I know your going to come back to me on this if your so short on your backswing that it looks like someone elses 3/4 backswing then that is your top of backswing.

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
If as you say, you are all out of sync, coming out of your posture, broken left arm, collapsed wrist, I would say it is impossible to 'look' in the right position. Well maybe with a bit of photoshop .
