Flat front foot?

[jimmydean]

Should the front foot be flat or rolled at impact? It seems that you see some of both on some tour swings. I prefer the former, but what do you guys and gals think?
Thanks,
Jimmy

Assuming the CoG shift has been done properly to the lead side, all depends on:
a. flexibility of one's ankle/knee joints;
b. lead foot position in relation to the rest of the body (e.g. how much flared out is it, etc.);
c. direction of the weight shift (either more towards balls or towards heel of the lead foot).

So how do these directly relate to a flat or rolled foot at impact? If A is ___, then flat/rolled, etc.

a. the more flexible both joints are, the flatter LF usually is (assuming all other things are equal);
b. the more flared out LF is, the flatter LF usually is (assuming all other things are equal);
c. the more the dynamic weight goes to balls of LF, the flatter LF usually is (assuming all other things are equal).
