[O.B.Left]

Yoda,

Do you think his motion in the backswing is a carry-back type of motion or how do you think he stresses the shaft in the backswing?

Hey Bird

Although I posted somewhere that both Brian and Larry Nelson both employ a lagging takeaway, I'd like to retract that. I talked to Yoda about it recently and discovered I had mistaken a post he wrote on bent left arm at address to mean bent left wrist. My bad.

I now believe that Brian Gay starting from Fix uses a carry-back as opposed to swing back, lagging takeaway.

But, like he did, play around with both to see which you like better. Im still going back and forth. When I get too wooden, I use a lagging takeaway, when I start losing my alignments I go back to Fix and Carry back. Heck sometimes I even resort to swinging, yes I am THAT confused.

Still sorting my way through the golf nuts candy bar.
