Downswing pivot question

Hi all,

For all my reading on the site and of TGM it is strange how you need to see/hear something in a different way to "click" with your own coconut.

Watching a video of Brian discuss the pivot with another teacher it would seem that Brian described on the downswing the weight settles on the left as the shoulders come back to almost square to target line and parallel to the ground.

There is then a downward thrust of the right shoulder toward the ground/plane?

As I see it.........

Is it right to say that if this thrust/turn occurs very steeply (under the plane?) that the ball will start right (as long as there is no flip ;) ) and also the other way round.

I hit some balls doing this at lunch as was suprised at how it felt like my upper body was "pushed" backwards by my pivot (tilt to my t cup?, whatever a t cup is, is it because I'm british :eek: ) and how much room I seemed to have to "wallop it" with my hips and right knee/leg firing through.

The ball also refused to pull left :D

Am I right in how I see this as the pivot working down to the ball.

Good Insight!

In a golfer who is not fighting some old tendency....


The shoulders should NOT change planes until about midway in the downswing.

Then---WHOOMP there it is!
