@emncaity yea that was a joke. thanks for the info, i'll check out the library. free > pay. right now i'm at the point where i'm just becoming a student of my own swing and experimenting for different feelings for what works and doesn't work.

@dschultz6072 It's good to keep in mind the old adage (I think it was Seymour Dunn who started it): Never confuse something that happens with something you have to try to do.

As to your specific question, I think you're kidding, but since I've seen stranger questions that were serious...yeah, it's a bad thing. Snead has a really nice description of one of his main swing thoughts, the "slot" at the top, in his "Key Approach" book. A library ought to have a copy, or maybe ebay or amazon.

Wish I knew somebody out in Sacramento--I grew up in CA but wasn't there when I was teaching. Anyhow...sounds like you have the right idea regardless. These guys in the top 20 aren't there because they think complex and many-paged thoughts about the swing. I'd always tend toward the simpler ideas of people like Snead, Couples, and Els, and to teachers who uncomplicate things. Anybody can take a simple subject and make it complex--and there's a helluva lot of money in it.

Sorry I missed your response. Of course it's OK to try different explanations and different perspectives, as long as people understand there are certain physical facts about a good swing that are more or less constant.

As for thinking the world is out to get me, I have no idea what you're talking about. I said that your statement "don't get mad because you don't understand it" was essentially an insult, and I think any rational person who reads it will see it that way.

The simple biomechanical fact is that the arms swing from one side of the body to the other, while the torso rotates. This is not even a matter for discussion; it is an observable fact. "In front of" is only a different way to put the long-taught fundamental of how the rotation of the torso should support the swinging of the arms on plane, analogous to how the swinging of the arms supports the release of the hands.

@kbakken1

Observably, provably, without a doubt, the arms are _not_ "in front of" the torso at the top of the swing in the same way they were at address. In fact, there is noplace for them to be other than "in front of the body," once you've taken hold of the club with both hands. (Come on. Let's see you hold onto the club with both hands and swing it behind your body in anything like a normal golf swing.)
