from a golf magazine website. and i tried to read what an instructor was saying but I could not bring myself to read the whole article on two of his articles and gave up from there. First he says the swing bottoms out below the sternum so chip shots should be behind the center of the chest. Now I dont have much of a problem if someone wants to play the chip shot back, but the swing bottoms below the sternum? and then he has an article about swinging from a top of the back swing position as being the swing of the future. So address the ball, get in a baseball players posiiton, now swing from there. Now as a drill I can understand, but playing with it?

If the angle between the left arm and the shoulders doesn't change and all you do is 'rock' the shoulders then the low spot would be below the sternum. And starting from the backswing isn't new. Johnny Miller thought that would be the swing of the future some time back.

What do you think? ("swing of future")

Ryan Moore does well from halfway back anyway.....

I can't see anything more than that myself. (and I assume Moore will go back to his normal swing when his hand heals...I assume anyway)

Starting from Ryan Moore's position and where Johnny Miller and this article is talking about is something completely different.

To play from a "top of backswing position" we'd all need to play Ladies flex shafts to get them to load correctly.

ExaRctly. I think you got the most important part of it Jim.

I think it's just weird too....can't expand on it any more than that....just WEIRD.

A lot of these teachers say it eliminates the part of the swing a lot of people blow it on (the takeaway).....

I can just hear Brian......
