Turn and Hinge.
Hi C Mays / Golf One

Sorry if I am sounding simple here, but when you say "turn and hinge", I would say obviously you hinge the wrists, with the turn, do you mean the forearms as opposed to the body turn?

I have just been having a swing in the garden (was due to go for a practice session and game last night but yet more rain in the UK) and I noticed the following. An error of mine at set up is that my hands at address are often behind the ball. During my garden swinging session, I pushed my hands forward at address either from the static position or as a forward press. This I notice introduced more rotation of the left forearm in the swing, I did not have to think about rotation at all in the swing, and I have to say the swing seemed very smooth and generated a good "swoosh" through the growing lawn grass. Is this what you sometimes refer to as setting the rotation at address? I did a load of Hogan half swings back and forth and got some real good feelings.

Whether it works with a ball remians to be seen.

Thanks

Rackster
