As far as the 'flattening' of the shaft during startdown (Sergio/Hogan) "When in doubt TURN the clubface at startdown" (I don't have the book with me for the exact location) To my eye, Hogan 'Turned' slightly at startdown, so he could 'Roll' at release, giving the appearance of a falling/flattening shaft, and maintaining his left arm flying wedge. For 'weak' vs 'strong' - keep in mind that the left hand grip, within a range, doesn't really matter in producing a horizontal hinge - it is the left arm flying wedge that matters. The left arm wedge alignments can be maintained with both a so called 'weak' or 'strong' left hand, with the appropriate compensations in the rest of the machine. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
