swinging left
I saw an interesting thread on the GEA, yesterday. The name of the thread was "swing left to swing right". I copied the three attachments that started the thread. It was a copy of an article from a popular publication and from a top 100 instructor. It was written in 1989, but it's still popular advice.

What about someone like Kenny Perry who is a long hitter, yet his hips and shoulders are approximately square (parallel to the target-line) at impact? He has great compression, so is he a counterexample?
P.S. the photo I was looking at was from around 2000.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Kenny Perry
He turned to complete his backswing so he must return (turn) to impact position. Once the ball leaves the clubface the golf swing is over.

My thought is Kenny Perry turns less once he arrives at impact than many others. I am not concerning myself with the amount he rotates his body after impact, I agree it is irrelevant in regards to the question at hand.

Tracing a straight line beyond impact....
Hip / shoulder position at and beyond impact is influenced by what force you are using to trace a staright line before, during and after impact... no??
If you have a bit of active pp1 then you can ( and should )trace your line with less pivot action... if you achieve staright line tracing with passive right forearm then you need lots of pivot...
At least that is the way i see it...
NOW ... if you do not pivot enough to trace a straight line AND you do not have enough active pp1 then you swing right and bend plane line... maybe...
This sounds more confident thani feel i have knowledge for at moment ... so wait for others....  |

Not as obvious as some....but to my eye, hips and shoulders look open at Impact. |

2nd to last photo doesn't look like he's tracing a circle of balls placed on the ground. But, the pivot does what it must in order for him to trace a straight line. This assumes that his hands are 'command central', instead of the pivot.
