Imagine that same swingset, on the angled plane - but that the chains turn 90 degrees going back and cross and untwist (roll) going through and cross again (180 degrees on the through swing). See the drills section EdZ drills for an example of this (drill #2, fingers interlocked drill). So the child (back of left hand) faces the target at setup, turns 90 degrees going back to face the same way as the golfer, then turns 180 through to face behind the golfer.

Hopefully that doesn't confuse the issue re: loading, which is, seperate from turn and roll (chains crossing and uncrossing).


As an aside, the swingset image is one of my personal favorites from "How to Feel a Real Golf Swing" - Toski/Love, with my addition of the chains crossing/uncrossing. An outstanding visual for understanding CF in the golf swing.
As a former swinger (up until 5 days ago ), I always felt I had a good understanding for turn, roll, and swivel. The example of the swingset on the inclined plane to describe turn/roll is a very good analogy.

Gonna take this hitting thing to the course this weekend and see how it works. It should be interesting.

Thanks for your input,
