Look at Ballard from a Golfing Machine perspective. His main premise is connection between the left arm and the chest. Sound familiar ? PP#4. Backswing formed by right elbow breaking up, Magic of the Right Forearm. In the finish, left elbow points down, simply the finish swivel as described by Mr. Kelley. As far as sway is concerned, on the golf channel he describes it as the left side moving into the braced right. He still advocates swinging around a fixed center. In short, even though Ballard famously cast aspersions on the Golfing Machine in the mid 80's, when Clampett was being taught by everyone under the sun, most of the major points of his method can be found in the pages of the Golfing Machine, written in 1969. After all, it is an encyclopedia of the golf swing.
