well I have tried every other method out there so one more cant hurt

Why am I trying it?
I began Yoga classes about 4 months ago and learned some pretty interesting stuff about how the human body works. My instructor can do some amazing things with his body but yet he is not muscular, things that the average person would think take a lot of strenght he does with no strain Also, I can be struggling very much in a pose and he makes a slight adjustment in my alignment, and a pose I could barely hold for 20 seconds I can all the suddden hold for a couple of minutes or more. WHen in the right alignment the body freees up but tot he obsever you would not be able to tell the internal adjustments that are made.

So becoming more intrigued about the human body lead me to start looking for it in the golf swing. For example I learned in the last month that Ben Hogan was a fitness instructor in the Army. Is it a coincedence that he knew about fitness very well and has one of, if not the best swing of all time? But for some reason the fact that he was a fitness instructor is rarely talked about.

So then I start looking for answers, and on some sites with a lot of instructors I ask some questions about the body, and its movements in the golf swing, but I get very little in the way of answers in return. Many people can tell you how a swing looks on the outside, I can tell you off plane, elbow plane, shoulder plane, spine angle, tush line, etc........ but yet for some reason I am not producing and effecient golf swing that is repeatable consistently.

Hogan was perhaps the best striker of all time, Austin was perhaps the longest of all time, and both had a profound understanding of the human body. My goal is to go away from position golf where I try to place the clubhead, and change to motion golf, where I try to get my body to do a motion that will swing the club. I am tired of having to practice so much to keep a swing in shape, so I am in search of a swing that is more effecient, while also being easier on the body.


Cmays,
I have watched some footage of austin, and parts of his video. He says one should swing with their left arm on the shoulder line or close too it so the body stays in balance. his left arm gets just above his right shouder from what I have seen. Austin believed there was one correct way to swing a club but the various body types would make the same swing action look different
