He typically also aims left; so if the camera is directly behind him and he is aiming left and he takes the club away even close to parallel it's going to look very outside because of camera angle.
Right on the money.

agree,
swing plane is 3 dimensional and hardly a "plane", this is a good example of issues using a 2d camera.

HOWEVER
please note that Freddy does do a bit too the outside, he does, but camera angle exacerbates it.

Why? Can you provide reasoning to how this creates a 1) fade, 2) not hook it, 3) limits shoulder turn 4) limits hip turn
Thanks~

Why does Freddie make THAT backswing?
It is the easiest way to get the club where he wants it before he knocks the snot out of the ball.

Well that was the technical teacher jargon, I was looking for the layman's terms reason

Not for me that combo= coming in through the window and sleeping with my clothes on in the bathroom!
So, going inside and then coming over (while staying inside a la Snead/Jones) is a safer loop for the mid/high cap player?
Lesser of two evils but yes. Reason has to do with right hand position. When they loop it back to the inside they reverse tumble it and now have an inside, usually out, path with a very late open release position. The in and overs at least have have the right palm down coming down. A lot of out to in loops release it out not down.

I was trying to get folks to think....
Here is the deal—if you go out to Norman Playground and grab 10 super-athletes that never played golf or baseball, and put a small piñata on the ground, and had them stand in YOUR golf footprints, and hit the SNOT out of the piñata, LOTS OF THEM WOULD LOOK LIKE FRED COUPLES AT THE TOP OF THE SWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I flip it on you:
Why?
