Bucket,
I told you so- the fact that you walk around without your shoelaces tied on your golf shoes has nothing to do with your high scores! You don't look very good with that style - but by looking at the rest of the outfit- I figured that wasn't an important criteria for you anyway!
You ain't got anything better than that? It's almost like you're a man that has lost his dog and ran out of peanut butter.
How the clubface is oriented when the club is parallel to the ground on the backstroke isn't really much of a checkpoint of anything. In the grand scheme of things its about as useful as checking to see if your shoe laces are tied.
The position of the clubface at halfway back is important because the student is aware of it.....also this is a great spot to check you wedges!!
Patty,
The key to halfway back is having the flying wedges in tact.....go to impact fix then lift the club up in front of you from impact fix so that it is parralel to the ground at this point the club would be pointing at some one facing you (eye to eye)now turn you shoulders to get the club to be facing someone that would be standing behind you(facing your right pocket). This will show you what your hands and the clubface should you look like halfway back. Also you left arm should be straight due to extensor action. Most player's are going to have the clubhead inline with their hands at this point. Hope that helps.

Well said! Remember the halfway back/clubface position works only if you are On Plane because a tilted rotated FW assembly off plane will appear incorrect.
