swing left, and look like this

[birdie_man]

This is where we have to make a distinction. I see so many people, post impact, will continue to take their HANDS down the base of the inclined plane. Or better put, from the players perspective, they continue to trace or thrust their hands towards the target. Only problems can be the result.

If your hands are moving on-plane they are moving down and out until AFTER low-point where they move up and in. (towards the target as you say) AFTER low-point. Just like the clubhead. This is desirable. Trace a straight Plane Line.

I think what we're really talking about here is DELIVERY LINE-PREP-ROLL. You know I only have the 6th and 7th edition but Homer didn't spend but one or two sentences on DELIVERY LINE-PREP-ROLL. And that's a shame because I think it is a very over looked part of the swing. I can only dream that if Homer had lived longer he may have spent more time exploring DELIVERY LINE-PREP- ROLL. But this is a very important key to tracing the straight plane line with a FLAT LEFT WRIST (bent right wrist).

I'm not sure I know what you mean man. Maybe you could explain more??

Put a laser on the end of a clubshaft. Draw a target line, (base of the incline plane line) and then, with a bent right wrist and flat left, from the TOP or END trace the line with the laser into impact on the downswing. After impact(FOLLOW THROUGH both arms straight) if you have maintained a bent right wrist the HANDS will move left and the clubshaft will continue to point at the base of the inclined plane. IF YOU WANT THE CLUBSHAFT TO POINT AT THE BASE OF THE INCLINED PLANE WITH A FLAT LEFT WRIST THE HANDS HAVE TO MOVE LEFT.

I think we're letting semantics get in our way of what "swinging left" is.

Good stuff......and I agree. Prolly some semantic differences as well.
