How to adjust my swing to compensate for my lack of flexibility?

Just erase the body and all it parts from the minds eye and view the club in space and how it relates to the ball. As I've said before, I believe the club should always be working out towards the ball after transition. If its pointing at the ball or inside of it after transition then, at some point, there will have to be a "fit in" move.
How would that piece together with the more vertical handpath? At first blush it would seem that those two concepts are mutually exclusive, although I have a feeling you're about to make me look extremely foolish...

This is me to a T. I've gained some distance with the release info but if I try to go after it a little too hard I can hit it 50 yards left with a 7 iron.
I agree, and the fit in move is usually backing up, bailing out or a serious out hand path in an attempt to shallow out a steep transition. Those able to maintain angles are those pointed slightly outside the golf ball early transition.
I'm still missing a critical point here...If the hands move down vertically, (or an approximation thereof) and it's still entirely possible to have the butt of the club pointing outside the ball, wouldn't that demand a slightly laid-off position at the the top?

The last part of the NHA backswing lays the club off

Oliver and Wulsy,
I was referring to the club head AND the shaft swinging out to the ball post transition. Yes, vertical hand path will place torque on the butt end of the club and will create the "tumble", but you cannot tumble a steep shaft. So, my point is, a laid off shaft (pointing well outside the ball coming out of transition is "primed" for tumble with assistance from the verticality of the hand path.

Oh I only used CAPS to make sure Oliver knows that me likes the club laid off at the top and at start down. I ain't try'n to be all up in his grill and stuff.
A-ha! I get what you're saying. So how do those guys who don't lay off the club get to tumble if that position is too steep?
BTW - I'm flattered that you want to hop up in my grill, but I'll stick with the sausages and burgers...(I've no idea what you're talking about, to be honest, so I took a stab at cuisine...How'd I do?)
"Laid off" has always been an interesting term to me. Off what? The plane? The target? A directional issue or a plane issue? It seems to me there are two ways to "lay it off". Lindsey I agree with the direction thing, not the plane thing. but we might be talking about the same thing!

More of a posh dialect.
Yes, the words just pour like honey between the vents of your grill...
As the sign only missed by one measly letter, is it an advert for good spelling or bad spelling in the United States?
