[O.B.Left]

OB,

I'm not sure that I am a believer in the "swing left" deal. I believe in the Plane that Mr. Kelley describes...

I have always been a staller, slinger, flipper. My clubhead stayed on my target line far to long as it flipped through impact. To me, getting the club back on the plane at follow through and into finish "feels" like swinging left, but is really just traveling back up the plane rather than steering.

Might just be a personal problem.

I don't care for the thought of "swinging left" I still believe the club needs to travel down-out-forward to follow through, then head back up the plane. I believe Mr. Trevino's plane was just aligned left.

Right or wrong, did I just make any sense?

Agreed. Me too. The plane and the flat left wrist still rule for sure.

The "swinging or releasing left" thing is so horribly named it makes it hard to discuss without thinking of a cross line swing path or left alignment. And why name something after a "feel" of the hands going left anyways? Maybe I have it all wrong. But the move itself does work nicely for less than full powered shots.

Im just wondering if these various "releases" are simply different hinge actions? A held off 7 iron is really just angled hinging? A down the line full release with a driver is horizontal hinging , plane and simple. A Trevino like cut off , held off wedge shot is angled hinging with a lot of lag pressure and a brisk pace. Not sure if hitting and swinging would make a difference beyond their normal associated hinge action.
