If i don't set the proper amount of knee bend at address, my body/mind will "find it" during the downswing won't it? That move can lead to "bobbing" can't it? Could this be why i have such a feeling of "sitting down" through impact?

Just curious as many have told me i don't have enough knee bend at address.

Hmmm not sure man. I just tried a few swings with little bend. It seems that you settle downwards slightly on the downswing but not all the way to where you "should be". It seemed to me that the issue would be with balance- feels succeptable to moving toe-side on the downswing.

Knee flex yes, but knee bend ??? I am not sure... As too much knee bend will affect your balance in a way of affecting the Body angle (incline plan)

I find any knee bend more than a 'notch' difficult to maintain throughout the swing. Personally, a deeper knee bend increases the chances of bobbing.

This is why Faldo liked the concept of maintaining his levels.

IF 'center' moves, it should move "within" its circle, or trace its edge. It is far better for the radius to get longer, than for it to be shorter, through impact, just as moving force 'downplane' is better than 'along' the plane line, for that reason.

45 degrees downplane, to both arms straight is the middle ground and a goal worth experimenting with.

Send force to both arms straight
