Re the first video... I tend to do this under plane and then laid off thing . I tried fixing it every which way and then the cure was found by isolating the root cause . Dr Ted Fort, LGB AI, Marietta Clinic saved my backswing.

I'd seen it as an over swivel , an off plane club shaft, an Angled Hinge Startup, an incorrect left wrist condition at top (arched , a horizontal left wrist motion) etc etc. It was all of these things. Id tried monitoring the clubs shaft to fix it........but it didn't stick. Why? Because I had ingrained a feel for an incorrect misaligned lag pressure point loading in my backswing.

A lustful under plane loading of the wrong #3 pressure point, the index finger. Id missed the fact that as a Drag Loader I should be loading the Rotated Pressure Point per 10-19-C and 6-H-0 . The knuckle at the base of the index finger of the right hand. My slightly strong Right Hand grip encouraged it too. I needed to get the knuckle on the top of the grip and the index finger on the aft to fix it.... just like Hogans right hand . What Lynn calls the "question mark" right index finger and knuckle alignment to the handle.

No amount of shaft monitoring could compensated for a false feel for loading the shaft in the wrong direction. Id monitor the shaft on the range and then hit course and I was back to wagging it under plane. Im talking hard loading , under plane wagging. The feel was great but the results were junk. Once I applied the same sense of loading but in the correct direction ... golf was easy again. Well for a while anyways.

What was it Bobby Jones said? "There is no virtue that can not be exaggerated into a fault". Something like that. #3 is a beautiful thing but you gotta get it right.

This thing really helped me .... hope it helps somebody else save a few years.

P.S. Man Chris Wood has some upright sticks there, or am I seeing things. How tall it he?
