First off I just received an email inviting me to the new web site. I haven't visited since I got a new computer this past year and the MacAfee anti-virus software gave it an unsafe (red) warning on it's site advisor. This new site gets a safe (green) rating from MacAfee, so I'll become a regular visitor once again.
Anyway, I recently employed the age old toe up at the halfway back position in the backswing with good results especially with the irons. Straighter, higher ball flight and more solid contact.
One observation is it seems to put my left wrist in a better position at the top, (flatter, less cupped). My normal backswing would put the toe more down (closed) halfway back. Misses were pulls or straight to right slices and inconsistent contact.
Other than that does the toe up (hallway) in backswing affect swing plane etc.?
I realize this is an age old swing tip and not as interesting as some of the newer ideas. However, could something as simple as this have a positive domino affect on the whole swing?
