IAN have him move the ball up to his fron foot, i think the balls to far back and he is getting the reverse c from trying to stay behind the ball, move it up to the big toe and see how that looks.

Cmays,

Thanks for the imput, Liam is now a County player and has free lessons with the County coach, being his Dad and having some knowledge of the golf swing I am a little protective of what he is taught, I do not want to push him or let anyone else, I what him to remain as natural as possible, Paralysis by Analysis is the reason why.

Liam used to lift the club straight up, like most juniors who have played since they were 3/4 years old the club used to be heavy, now he is strong he was still lifting it up a little sharp. I don't mind him working on that or extention through the ball, but I was very concerned when he start to talk about his hips, if you look at the clip of him, although he is on a up-hill lie and the ball back in his stance, he does swing pretty much the same with the head staying down unusually long, but thats his style......Westwood does it and he's hardly a slouch..................................you can pick fault with any swing because we are all built different, "I for instance have a very wide shoulder width with a large chest, at 5ft 10 inches tall it no use me trying to swing upright like Tiger".

Hence I was a little unsure as to wear Liam's lesson was heading, I don't want him to be text book and when I look at his "natural" downswing I was really worried about the Pro trying to change his hip action, he seem to think Liam was stopping rotation at impact instead of firing them through without interuption.

My question was do they stop or not in the majority of pro swings, I think there is a slight bump at impact then they continue.???????

IMHO they're not 1 plane swings. Both are tall guys and have big wide arcs away from the ball, high hands at the top and use what I would call a leverage swing
