Address Posture

There ain't nothing wrong with setting your Right Forearm On-Plane at Address. Particularly useful with Hitting . . . but I think Mr. Kelley would be less dogmatic about it with Swinging. Now the question to answer is WHY do most cats on tour NOT set their forearm On-Plane? Probably because the don't know anything about the alignment . . .and the may think it looks "different". But that being said most of the great ball strikers DO have the Right Forearm on-plane with the shaft at Impact? Why? I would submit that its because even though they may or may not have a centered pivot . . . they get the Right Shoulder location deal . . . PLUS I think Physics plays a role . . . these guys are swinging the club at speeds that physics are going to produce some of the alignments that we like to see because . . . . well . .. that's the way it works. The forces are so great that they just line everything up when the motion is efficient. I'm mean look at Furyk . . . he's got some MAJOR whacky stuff going on but when he gets down there where the bidness is to be done within certain constraints he's not a whole lot different than some of the other more "conventional" looking swings. Again it comes down to the 3 Functions and controlling the face . . . Furyk is GREAT at that. So for the club to work like it should on plane through the ball . . . the plane is gonna produce some of the alignments because that's how laws of nature make it work.

Thanks Bucket, more GREAT stuff!
