John Riegger / Rob Noel: Warm-Up Routine -- 5-Part Series

[mb6606]

5. I have a slightly strong LH -similar to JR. At the 2/3 point in the backswing, John has the clubface exactly at the same angle as his spine (slightly closed in current instruction terms). From this postion, he gets the clubface nicely laying on the plane and end. Mine is always still 'closed'. Does John make a concious effort to roll the face onto the plane during the last 1/3 of the backswing, or does it happen naturally?

Rob mentions to John about the right arm fanning. It would be a conscious effort I assume John worked hard to achieve this.

John's PGA stats 2005 vs 2006.
John has gained a huge increase in driving distance (10 yds) and accuracy (plus 10%) in 2006.
Really terrific.

maybe someone other than myself should answer this post.can someone help me out here

John's stance seems a bit narrow for a tall guy. I would think a little wider stance would increase stability for his tripod.

Should have been more TGM correct in referring the movement of the clubface on the backswing - I meant 'turn' instead of 'roll'.
