Jeff.
Jeff . . . Why should we pivot like that?

What does "natural" movement mean and in what context? Is there anything "natural" about swinging a golf club? I understand the deal with biomechanics . . . . but biomechanics to WHAT PURPOSE? Do biomechanic types know how golf clubs work?

Golf instructors have created a whole world of slicers with this concept that you have to "get behind the ball."

Question for you . . . .

How would you teach a beginner to draw the ball?
