Re: Have you been taught to swing wrong or RIGHT?

ho Go Low
thanks for your reply.
i would say that i have not got to the left side by unconscious weight transfer as in Mindy's setup you have most of the weight already on your left side at set up so you do that on purpose and on the backswing its more blanced between the feet rather than more weight going onto the right side on the back swing. on the downswing you do shift some weight to your left side but i do think this happens unconsciously as a resulf of a hip shift but again that happens without thinking.
with the Mindy Blake system you set up and once set you swing but you dont think about any part of the swing it all just happens by reflex to your set up.
i have again posted a picture of Richard Wax so you might see what i mean better about Mindy's set up and reflex swing if you look at Richard in fram 4 and 5 and Hogan in the two pictures you sent in there are a few things that look the same but both are very diffrent swings.
that last time i spoke to Richard he was 65 years old and playing off 5 handicap.
cheers
bill
