Ok, so I'll put forth the opposing view.
1st of all, I'm looking at K Shields, a 2 time US Open Champ, and a long drive champ vs. the golf digest guy and 2 others I don't know.
I think that regardless of backswing type, hitting beyond the line requires additional steps. They are different from each other but they do occur with many different golfers.
What percentage of right leaners know what those steps are and what percentage of left leaners know what those steps are would be a very interesting poll to say the least.
I think if you took someone with absolutely no golf history and put them in an orthodox right leaning top of the backswing position
or
you put them in an 'orthodox' left leaning top of the back swing position
the left leaners would have an easier time hitting the ground past the line.
Does this make it better? I don't see why it would. Knowing what to do after the backswing can make up the difference rather quickly.
Now if we compared someone with absolutely no golf history with:
an orthodox right leaning top of the backswing position
vs
putting them into the top of the backswing positions shown we might get a very different outcome.
Just to stir the pot a little.......
