It seemed as the writer figured that swinging left was all about steering - and that this steering over time induced the yips. But you don't need to steer to "swing left". What you need to do is time impact so that there's still some release left. Relative to the pivot, the club head will then be moving away from the body so it's basically a push stroke. And the only way to keep the club head going down the line is to stay ahead with the pivot so the handle is going back in. Hogan's hand path was outside - in relative to the target line while the club head path was more or less neutral. __________________ Best regards, Bernt BerntR View Public Profile Send a private message to BerntR Find all posts by BerntR
