The most important alignments in the uncompensating swing.

[ChrisNZ]

I mean look....



Ungolf-like wouldn't you say ?

not only that, its unhuman and it ain't happening...lol

I mean really, is this what you and tongzilla recommend as the most important alignments?

Cool pic Mathew, and exactly what I'm suggesting, although I'm not really bringing extensor action into it. Basically I think it is not ungolflike nor unhuman. To align your shoulders with your spine (which is pretty near the back of your torso, I actually think you probably need to make an effort to pull them back a bit, which is ungolflike). But we can agree to disagree if you like. I don't feel massively strongly about this, but I don't think you've provided a 'logical proof' that both shoulders cannot be onplane in the golf stroke!

Maybe from your pic you think I'm suggesting a backward curve of the shoulders, but I'm not, I'm suggesting a forward curve (that was what I saw in your diagram by the way - sometimes hard to tell with stick figures!)

And stop picking on Tongzilla! His list was really good!
