One benchmark is when the hands are at that point, the shaft should be no lower than horizontal, and you beat that easily. It's especially impressive because your right elbow is not in extreme pitch position, which makes it harder to get the shaft that much "up" at that point in the DS.

You can drive it directly down from the top with the pivot and get it in front of the right hip as near the belly button as possible(be careful not to hurt yourself). Whatever you do though, please post more video to show the results, and let us know about distance/trajectory changes. Very interesting topic. MJ, Its interesting that you make this point - Sergio does this very well. Let's just say that I am trying to make BS as upright as the angle of my right forearm at address while still making a full turn with no arm lift. My analysis of PGA Tour players is that from start-up to backstroke, the clubshaft NEVER goes below the right forearm. The only one player I know who does this and made a good living at golf is Raymond Floyd. One of my aims this week and the next is to make sure that from a down the line perspective, my shaft post-impact,"exits" at my right shoulder or a hair above. I still think I am wiping my shots a little and this should prevent the shaft from moving left too soon past impact. Thank you for the interest and I will keep all updated. __________________ The Singapore Slinger http://justintanggolf.blogspot.com comdpa View Public Profile Send a private message to comdpa Find all posts by comdpa
