How do you make this better?

No worries Redgoat - I don't consider that flat left a 'must', but do consider it easier - the 'must' is the forearm/clubface alignment - however one gets there, works for me. Same with the right elbow - as long as things are on plane. It's just easier to get there keeping them the same distance apart, otherwise you have to have manipulation coming down (well, more variables anyway, conscious action or not). The more you can keep your right elbow/forearm and shaft on the same plane the better (although certainly not for the shoulder joint)

By all accounts, the guy has a much better swing with your help.

Randy,

Yes, they are all of the same guy. I truley appreciate the compliment, but as you know he did all the work not me. EdZ, no worries here either. I just think that letting the elbows get further apart and getting slightly more upright going back helps people "hedge their bet" against getting it behind them early.
