Could someone please trace the grip end of the club at the start of the swing? I am trying to figure out if the grip end travels horizontal at the start of the swing.

Maybe this is because it's kind of strange question. Hinges on what you mean by Horizontal and what you mean by the grip end.

Example: If Horizontal means level to the ground and grip end means the top of the grip cap, then if you cock your wrists in place the grip end must move down.

My suspicion is that it would be pretty hard to keep the grip end level in the start of the backswing. I don't really understand why you would want that information, but it might help to explain your goal.

There are two planes to consider here.

The first is what I call the target line plane which is used for the initial force at the start of the backstroke.

The second is the actual plane the entire club (grip, shaft and clubhead) travels on after this force. The more the club leans forwards at address, the more this plane will be left of target.

During the period of initial acceleration, the left wrist should remain in its initial configuration. After this acceleration subsides the wrist conditions are dynamic to the movement of the club, not the other way around.

What are you working on?

if any of the multiple instantaneous helical axes zeroes out others it could....:D

I think you already answered my question. Thank you.

depends on what type of swing you are using

a two plane swinger might take the grip end away on a horizontal plane to ground

a one plane hardy swinger takes the grip end away on a 45 degree tilted plane

do not mix golf instruction----use only instruction that is intended for your swing type
