Re: Backswing Length
In my exoerience, the main thing that leads to attacking the ball from the inside is posture. If you start from the wrong posture, attacking from the inside will either a) never happen or b) happen with serious "lottery like" manipulations.

As far as I'm concerned, keeping your back facing the target for longer in the downswing is more to do with torque and clubhead speed than swing direction.

Agree 100%. I use a 3/4 backswing 75% of the time. Even with my driver. I may be loosing yards, but I can hit my 7i 165 yards with a 3/4 turn.

Remember, the word is "turn" not "lift." Turn your shoulders, don't just lift your arms. You may find that a 3/4 turn works well and gives you a nice, tight backswing that is much more consistent.
