I do attempt to use standard knee and hip action. For years my head was positioned over my right knee at address...that is what I meant by pre-sway. I am very used to looking at the ball from my old vantage point. I get it right in the mirror, as soon as I set up to the ball I lilt and tilt to the right. I like right hip back and right forearm up!
Right Hip back and Right Forearm up...alright for me!
That is exactly what I have found to work with my swing, being a person who does not get much shoulder/hip turn, as well as trying to transition from elbow to Turned Shoulder plane. What do you do for the downswing, a little bump to the left? I struggle with this little transition, and knowing TGM, this is no small matter because of how important it is. thanks
I've started playing better now that I've stopped doing the little bump to the left - on video it still looks like a bump, but all I'm doing is returning my left side tush line to the pane of glass as my transition move. This move promotes the right amount of axis tilt for me. Of course in the backswing I must not sway otherwise a bump would be necessary.
Another question that I have had over the past few days: When I perform a RFT the clubhead still looks a bit "toe down" from a DTL view. Would too strong of a grip cause this? The only time I can seem to fully fan my forearm is if I take a very upright stance, but then I cannot bring the right shoulder far down enough for release. Could my view of "toe up" be misguided, anyone else have this perceived problem?
