Using the right hand on the back and down swing is kinda a no brainer! The pronlem is that even though the right hand is being used to take the club to the top of the BS the club head is still getting behind me at waist high because of the over rotation of the hips. This is why I started playing with a lateral shift, and it is not like you might think. I move lateral into my right leg but "DO NOT" shift over my right leg with full weight, as taught in the old days. Mine is more to keep the hips from turning so quick as I get the club to waist high and start to cock the hips then start turning. This motion gets the club from getting behind me to early and is more like a lateral post into my inner right leg just enough time saved that the club can get in a good position before hip rotation.

On the DS there is a slight lateral shift because of the width of the stance with the longer clubs, but in the shorter inrons no. I suspect this is why I am dead on with 7 iron thru LW, more narow stance and not much weight shifting, and shorter swing. I tried to narrow my stance some with the longer clubs but I think that turns into a whole other issue for balance and leverage.

Oh well, not a huge deal like I said just experimenting and trying to learn to add to my teaching base. I have such a great short game and hand eye cordination that I can still get it around with any swing mid 70's, just search for the best way to make this TGM motion. I think I will go back to my old swing now, which is pretty close to what lead me to TGM.

Thanks,
