www.golfsaid.com Tiger Woods and Adam Scott demonstrate a more arm driven backswing where the connection between the left arm and chest isn't maintained as closely. The clubshaft points well outside the hands when the left arm is parallel to the ground. This is a very difficult takeaway for most amateurs to copy, and even with Scott and Tiger can lead to a steepening of the clubshaft in transition. Brady Riggs(redgoat)
I am usually a consistent ball striker with a medium high ball flight; even though i have a tendency to push it to the right on an average day, or a slight draw on a good day. However, I just cant seem to hit any of my clubs correctly, as they keep having a low hook. Resultantly my grip feels uncomfortable (even though it wasnt be4), and my clubface is closed at the top of my backswing (even though it wasnt be4). Please help, because i have had this for 2 - 3 weeks now and i am not prepared to take lessons. Thanks a lot.
www.golfsaid.com Brady Riggs (redgoat) talks about Fox and Song demonstrating the backswing best suited for young talented players. Both these players show the ideal "position" at the top of the backswing.
Pete, at the top of his backswing, sees his ball move. He continues his swing hitting his second stroke. and continues to play the hole, with no penalty, since he was in the process of swinging at the ball when it moved. is he right what is the ruling
www.golfsaid.com Steve Elkington and Stuart Appleby are examples of a takeaway powered by the hands. With both players the right wrist bends back during takeaway creating an impact oriented flat left wrist alignment. When the left arm is parallel to the ground as extension of the clubshaft is pointing at the target line. This is a very solid backswing for a professional, buy frought with problems for amateurs.

Just read that the proper 'inside out path' needs to be more vertical than the 'outside in/over the top path",which Ive always known is too steep. huh?
Is the outside in swing /fat shot/cutting across/usually from swinging too much inside then getting trapped?
I tried to avoid steep(o/in) by swinging more inside on backswing/trying for a flatter swing. Ive been told in the past that 'your too steep' So has efforts on being flatter made it actually steeper/over the top?
, 3,4,5,6,irons have always been really inconsistent. Could never figure it out. They always felt too heavy to get swinging. Recently heard this is when you take it too inside.
www.golfsaid.com Ernie Els and Justin Rose are examples of a backswing that can be termed in and lift. Both players rotated the left arm early in the backswing forcing the clubhead inside the hands. From there they lift their arms to the top. This backswing is highly unadviseable for most amateurs and is utilized by Els in particular to keep the club from attacking the ball too far from the inside. Brady Riggs (redgoat)

www.golfsaid.com Nick Price and Nick Faldo both demonstrate a backswing that has produced many major championships. This is a great backswing for players with less flexibility and is controlled mostly by the body. The left arm and chest stay very connected with the clubhead outside the hands at the first parallel. This is an excellent backswing to copy. Brady Riggs (redgoat)
