Bear you are hungry arent you. Its great, but you gotta "dig it out of the dirt" yourself some too. It is the only way you will find your own best set of components. There is no "one best way" after all. You have options, trillions of them. Vive la difference.

In some respects Im sort of surprised Lynn recommended a single variation so quickly. The fact he did means to me that he feels very, very strongly about it. And so we should all take note. The "flat back" he recommends is after all, in contrast to the 7th editions 12-1 and 12-2 and not what you'd get from a lot of famous teachers like say a One Plane fella or S&T teacher (who we love around here and have great admiration for, hi guys).

So HBear, if you're interested, from the book research:
-Turned Shoulder Plane 10-6-B and On Plane Shoulder Turn 10-13-D
-Standard Shoulder Turn 10-13-A . Which I believe Lynn was alluding to in his recommendation to you. That is, flat back and "on plane" going down.
-2-H Shoulder Motions. And note the bit about On Plane right shoulder motion requiring Axis Tilt. The third paragraph in my 6th edition Homers deals with the geometry of Shoulder Control as solely a Right Shoulder deal. That the Left Shoulder is "helpless" in this regard. Its a nice read.

You could also research:
-Position golf vs Alignment golf.
-golf as a right sided game.

Sorry, dont mean to sound professorial with a required reading list or anything. But at least it'll help you wade through the book while in search of your answers and at the same time give you a better understanding of Lynn's great recommendation to you; it requirements and incompatibilities.

It sure would be easier if there was one best swing or set of components but sadly there isnt! It would be kind of boring too maybe. No Trevinos , no Palmers, no ?
