Moving the shoulders first, even a fraction, leads to an over-the-top move. (** Actually, the slide of the hips back should start before the backswing completes.)

Having read a lot more, and having viewed more videos, I now realise that every possible alignment and motion (well almost every) is in the Book -- which makes my former statements somewhat stupid. I guess I was originally looking for quick fixes rather than the progressive development that Homer recognised as the only way to develop or redevelop one's personal swing.
Well I have lots of time :) Actually I really have lots of time for inhouse reading and practice, but not outside practice or playing until September -- as last Sunday I dislocated my replacement hip. In some ways it's a blessing in disguise. |
