[O.B.Left]

Thanks Gerry.

Thats a right side centric view of the backswing. Left side is very different , though they both end up at the same Top position. Which is perplexing at first.

Its weird stuff when you isolate the individual contributions of the components. The pivot on its own, given its connection at the shoulder to the right arm provides much of the IN associated with three dimensional takeaway. The Right Elbow bending provides much of the UP. The BACK is seldom an issue for most golfers. We all get that. Blended it all nets out on plane, which the brain and hands can make happen quite naturally with Hand monitoring. Without thinking about these individual motions at all. We do it all the time in every day life. The problem we golfers have is we start contriving, focusing on "golf moves" that break the brain to hands communication which inevitably result in off plane meanderings by the hands and club. The correction is to reestablish the brain to hands connection, or focus and if necessary re train the individual components to do only that which they need do and nothing more. In the end its just your brain sensing your hand motion, the corrections automatic and perfectly aligned. Like when you put your fork to your mouth or something. No blood.

We play golf by feel.
