The "Flat Backswing-Swing Around Your Body" Swing

[Tball88]

Ok, I don't want to name names of other teachers and their theories, but I'd like to get your ideas around the "rotary swing", quite honestly it sounds a lot to me like Brian's ideas around swing more left....

I will comment on it soon.

I re-named it the "The "Flat Backswing-Swing Around Your Body" Swing" 'cause, well, that's what it is.

Before we get into the "bashing," I have done some research, and i agree with most of it.

HOWEVER

The whole, "lets swing it really flat" idea is pretty junk and i even have my own saying on the problem: "Too much around and not enough up."

Eventually i'm going to do a video tip on it.

Brian, what's interesting is that when they demonstrate the swing, it's a fairly standard on-plane backswing, just they incorporate more turn left on the downswing.

I think this pattern, which is all it is, would probably work ok for a hang back under plane too far right golfer.

I was a former member of the site referenced. Good mix of instruction and actual physical workouts. I adopted it and became really good with it, but when the wheels fall off, I revert back to old stuff, and even worse. Left the site. Why, cause I am a golfer, thats what we do, try something else. Now I am here, the story is improving.................

Most Tour players who swing under the TSP on the backswing (Tommy Armour, Zach Johnson, Chad Cambell,etc) swing higher, or in to out, thru the ball. Some don't though. I think the backswing irons out some things and tightens up some better players' swings. But it makes it pretty hard to swing left enough. Superior rotary ability required.

Most average players i see with flat, rotary backswings cant narrow the downswing, dont have enough speed, struggle with fairway woods and roundhouse the right shoulder and hit low sloppy draws.

I haven't studied the "Flat Backswing-Swing Around Your Body" swing. But I have studied swings of great players where it looked like they are swinging flat. People try to copy their "flat" positions without realizing how it's acheived. Tip off: it's "flat" because there is just enough lift such that relationships are maintained. Understand that if you force a flat armswing it's just as bad if not worse than a too upright arm swing.
