top of one plane back swing question.

Re: top of one plane back swing question.

Hands are further ahead at impact, body is turned and cetrifugal force has pulled the left arm straight in line with the shaft. At set up your arms approximate more of a capital Y and at impact a lower case y, thus flatter wrist. I think this may be part of your answer.

Re: top of one plane back swing question.

To understand the effect, cup your wrist to the left and then the right at the setup position, you will see that you are opening and closing the club face, this is what will happen at impact if you do this in your backswing.

I seem to be caught between a push (or slice) and a pull precisely as a result of this mechanic. I setup with my clubface like so (\) to try and compensate for an otherwise open clubface at impact. If I setup with the clubface squared (!) then it will be open at impact. In other words setting up (Y) and making impact at (y) appears to open the clubface at impact. Can someone help me with this? Anyway, I'm hitting the ball better these days but still struggle with consistently getting it to go in the direction I am aiming, that is straight. I more often pull the ball now rather than slice.
