Swinging to right field

[bmctigue]

Ben Doyle says to do it, Tom Tomassello says to do it, Chuck Evans says to do it, where in the downswing should you feel this and how do you incorporate it with "swinging more left"?

Who are we talking about?...

Bad playing slicers swing WAY TOO FAR TO THE LEFT.

Good playing hookers swing WAY TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT.

The focus will change depending on which side of the "Bowl" you are in or which side you need to GET IN on.

Isn't this really describing an impact that is in-to-out impact but an on plane square-square stance?

I have read something about this being the reason for hogan having his downswing plane pointing right of target? ( in "modern fundamentals)

Once you reach low point your hands and clubhead swing left in a natural arc... whereas those who steer keep the clubface heading down the target line( off plane) and hands keep gping to right field... ie. not swinging left? isn't that right?

Thanks Brian

OK, let's assume I am on plane (TSP I guess) at the top of my swing, and I want to hit my shot straight on the plane line, which for arguments sake I am set up square to. How does swing out to right field work or feel from that position? Is it another one of those illusory things where it just feels out to right field as I come down the plane?

Brian,

Ain't it the truth!

Right field is the appearance - feel and motion is on plane

OK. Then is it the "outward" part of the "downward, outward, forward"? Kind of a tricky thing between appearance and feel. If I am not that familiar with the feel of being on plane, might it "feel" like swinging to right field as well as appear so? Any other visual clues to help me understand the appearance?

Thanks.
