You state that Leslie King's opinions regarding the takeaway is contrary to modern teaching. In what way?

I think that modern teaching about the takeaway is exactly what Leslie King recommends. I deal with this issue in question number 9 of my backswing review chapter.

See - http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/backswing.htm

Although I agree with Leslie King's opinions regarding the backswing, I do not accept his fundamentals regarding the downswing, but that is only because I am a proponent of a "body downswing" while Leslie King is a proponent of an "arm downswing". However, regarding the backswing, I agree with Leslie King because the modern, total body golf swing is only a body swing in the downswing, and not the backswing.

What's the relevance of the fact that Gary Player met Leslie King in Britain? I think that Gary Player's swing exemplifies a body swing style, and not Leslie King's arm swing style.
