That struck me too but iirc lots of people on here have slated (no pun intended Ian
) AJ's approach in general and the "opening & closing" in particular - at least as many as praised it.
I was going to post and query this because it struck me that manipulating the club face like that must cause problems if you mis-time it, then Greg H posted a clip of Tiger doing something pretty similar so I shut up.
Not just on the basis (as Bulldog would agree) of "what's a 22 capper doing questioning the pros and the world's best to boot" but also because it's working for Ian and you can't really knock what's working.
There again other teachers advocate that the club face should be square at address and remain square throughout the swing in order to be square at impact.
As pooh might have if he'd taken up the game "I'm a golfer of very little brain" - and I must confess some times that brain hurts with the apparently conflicting advice out there.
I expect I've missed something though and would ask for some (gentle) correction and explanation.
