Good question I’d like to see what Lynn, EC or BM have to say on this.

I know that Els and Wie ( and this is NOT a Leadbetter thing) have been on their right leg longer into the swing then in previous years. And it is not a reverse pivot thing, either.

In baseball the modern swing is not linear but rotational. Watch the creep Bonds, who may have the best modern swing in baseball and he is pure rotation. Watch an old timer like George Brett (old? Yikes) from the Charlie Lau hitting school and he is linear- drive onto the left leg before rotation and impact of bat on ball. I think the same thing is going on with 10-16 or close to it. A modern preference - same as restricted hip action.

The beauty of the ‘chine- cool parts to install.
