Re: Help with the left shoulder
The following statements are particularly confusing because they seem to say any golf instruction is valid as long as you match the clubface angle to your swing path. Let's take the video that Jeff linked for me. One can turn one's bak to the target using his suggestions and matching the club face to the swing path is a matter of grip right? So anyone's instructions are valid if this is true.
"How you bring the club back in the backswing does not matter, peroid, as long as you can turn your shoulders or back to the target.
The downswing path means nothing as long as you match the clubface angle to the path you are using. Most of you want spend the time to study ball flight and it effects.
Now here is one thing I know is true. I have hit 325 yard drives using a variety of swings. I have swayed, dipped, lifted up, slid and danced in the back and through swing and hit the ball over 300 yards. In all cases I certainly made the necessary adjustments between the time I addressed the ball and ending with when I made contact with the ball so that the club face squared with the ball and I had enough leverage to power it down the fairway. The thing we lack in doing this every time is consitency in timing and the adjustments during the swing. We cannot get that consitency with a lot of moving body parts during the swing because we just can't mimic those movements time and again to a great degree. I used to be able to make the adjustments more easily when I was very young because I was also very athletic. But still I lacked a lot of consitency.
So most of these instructors are doing something right. They are at least setting a base for a consistent repeatable swing. So what are we really talking about here shootin and cmays that I don't quite get? What is this voodoo that you do so well?

How is it holding up for you, keeping the table dry? You could also use it as kindling if you need to make a fire
