Re: Interesting read

Bill,

It's not about lifting the head, its about lifting the arms and torso with the head crouched. If you look at the pictures they show you. There are three situations here with the hands, they start out extended and stay extended as in the one plane swing, they start out hanging down and are held back by arm strength to keep the club on plane like gripping or they start hanging down and the hands and arms lift to a steeper angle.

The picture of Travino shows him returning the shaft to a similar angle as it was at address, there can be no argument with that, the same with Snead and Hogan. If you look at Nicklaus and many others they create a completely different angle at impact and that can only happen by changing your posture. This is not a discussion only about Travino but about the three principal ways the club is returned to impact.

Many golfers now use a one plane swing as they have found many advantages in its simpler execution and reduced body stress, this guy was not suggesting any of golfers mentioned had a one planer rather that a one planer can return the club on the same plane without the vaguarities of changing posture or stressed muscles and ligaments.
