In an old thread you asked for another angle of this man's swing. Here it is. What do you see? It looks like the impact shaft angle is the same as the address shaft angle. I love this swing. So tight and loaded with a noticeable swing left--it's got a Trevino-ish quality to it, I think. Looks like he's got right forearm takeaway, getting the hands perfectly to the turned shoulder plane at the top, and angled hinging.






Compare to Trevino:

He takes the club up pretty close to the TSP, might be SLIGHTLY under but could be camera angle, comes down the elbow plane. Reverse shift, just not as "pretty" as Adam Scott or Tiger of old.

Reason why he returns the club to the original "shaft plane" is because he has setup on the elbow plane and not below it on the "hands only" plane like a lot of players do.

I emailed you more pictures with lines on them, post them if you wish.

How about how open his shoulders are at impact?

I think that is a frame after impact to be honest as i was watching the video. So they look about normal to me.

Thanks, Jim.

Jim, would you say that setting up on the elbow plane is alright for those using the "Never Hook Again" pattern?

Yes it's fine.
