Pudge . . . Your position and Lee Buck's are remarkably similar. Particularly the hands. But one thing I find interesting in this comparison is the #4 pressure point. This we know to be your Swing as you have told us from the jump. But people debate what Lee was. He may punch us for asking. But Ole Lee obviously is "less connected" at #4. One piece of evidence that he could be a 4-barrel hitter.
He spoke of this very thing in his book . . .
LET THE LEFT ARM LEAVE YOUR SIDE To keep your clubhead moving down your flight path a little longer past impact, you must let your left arm leave your left side as you swing through the ball. When this happens correctly you'll feel your right shoulder working under instead of around. The extent that the clubhead can stay on the flight path past impact is exaggerated in the large drawing, but even a fraction of an inch more extension of the on-path movement will improve your chances for starting shots in the direction you intend.
Mr. K according to Yoda was particularly impressed with Buckle's ability to hit DOWN all the way DOWN DOWN DOWN. I have the Shell's dvd of Buck vs. Fat Jack. These dudes were past their prime, but I'm convinced that Lee has the best pivot and Right Forearm Flying Wedge the game has ever seen. I don't know if the above quote is a "feel vs. real" thing, but I think Lee took every shot to a perfect FULL LEVER EXTENSION. He may not have had the speed. But when he hit the ball it got BASHED with STRUCTURE . . . HARD.
the hips have moved forward more and turned more degrees on the backswing, thereby resuling in a greater degree of freedom for the shoulder turn. the 2nd tilt(spine angle is more vertical at the top of the backswing and the shoulder turn is more centered(comparison of 1st pictures). the left shoulder is more forward as a result in the comparison of the 2nd pictures and the 2nd axis tilt is thereby less as it was a function of the backswing.this is also noticable in the tilt of the shoulders in the first picture on the bottom. the reduction of the 2nd axis tilt combined with the overall cog more forward will slow the rate of closure of the clubface at impact. as both lower and upper centers are more forward the hips press upward reducing the the flex in the right knee impact and next to last pics on bottom). this sequence is far superior to the lower and some sophisticated instruction wet into changing those pictures
It seems as though she is torquing the heck out of her back at the finish, particularly in the after. Just an observation, not a response to the question posed per se.

plumdog- interesting read, real food for thought ... your description of the "hips pressing upward" reminded me of a debate on the old tgm site about "releasing the tailbone" ... MORAD adherents advocated it, while the opinion of the TGM purists was that you can't release something that hasn't had a load placed on it and that the only way to "release" the tailbone was to literally stand up ... can you offer any insight on this difference of opinion? thanks.

Annikan,
Can you please translate the above 'expert explanation' into English?
Whoever wrote this wrote it with zero regard for their reader. A serious and fairly technical explanation it may be, but it was written 'as if' the writer had not passed 2nd class, or had a complete disregard for those trying to grasp his concepts!
