OK. I am a TGM convert and have been working on my chipping and pitching, flying wedges, and extension for a while. I played for a whole bunch of years with a neutral grip (left thumb middle)and hit straight or fade to slice (when hitting hard). I suspect my years of slicing were probably due to over the top and poor hinge action (stupid hands).
My question is, does the down swing flatten as you move down. If so, what actually causes it to flatten? I have looked at innumerable photos and most good to great players flatten coming back down to the ball.
To tell the truth, I though hip action (slight lateral move) did it but my brother in law says bunk. He says, push my hands down as I begin my downswing (which apparently I lack the skill to do).
Is it simply extension action of the right arm that flattens it or is it an optical illusion?
Does it matter if you return on the same plane as you go back as long as you are on your orignal set up plane?
Any advice and/or insight is greatly appreciated. My buddies have lots of thoughts on this subject, most not real good I imagine. I would greatly appreciate some TGM insight.
