quarter swing

[thimble]

During my full swing, i am stopping at quarter swing to check my alignment. The butt of my club is facing behind my knees, am i correct in saying it should be facing down towards the target.
Is this what is causing slices etc.

Re: quarter swing

Are you talking about the backswing or downswing?

If the backswing - you seem to be talking about the end-takeaway position.

See my backswing chapter to see where how the clubshaft should be aligned at the end-takeaway position.

See - http://jeffmann.net/backswing.htm

This is the relevant end-takeaway image - see http://jeffmann.net/AB-quarterBackcomposite.jpg
