I need to know whats the real deal with the downswing. In my mind I`m messed up on whats right or wrong from different teachers. Do you actually pull your arms down by your side first or does your left side pull them down? what is the right sequence? How much are your hands involved? Do you actually break your wrist at the ball from a bent wrist? Do you use your forfinger to hit the ball? theses are many things that run through my mind. I`ll try one method and it works one day and not the next and so on. So with the help of the many knowledgable teachers her can I get some advice of which way to turn to..thanks joe

Kind of like asking how to fly to the moon. You are lost in the details, and nobody can possibly give you the answers with any precision. There are lots of ways to swing a golf club. There is no real deal.
Finally, if written words could do the job, there would be no need for golf instructors.

Yeah, there is no real deal. Its totally dependent on what you do and how you need to start your downswing.
too many details
I always thought that golf magazines and tv instruction filled a player's head with too many details. Most talk about what you need to do in a golf swing but they don't tell you that this is stuff that has to "happen". You work on the elements so that once you trigger the swing those elements are present. You need to work on the details but you must also swing with the details in place. I have always felt that it's best to practice a new move but also try some swings and see if the new move is in the swing. If you focus on the new move all the time you end up ruining your swing. I hope that makes sense.

I always like Brian's analogy of a swing being like a garden. If you clear some space and do nothing there certainly will be something that grows. You just might like your garden better if you took some time to learn how to grow plants that are worthwhile.
Like others have said there is no "real deal". Every good garden might have similar elements but not everyone likes cabbage. In all honesty you have to do some research and see what works for you.

Well said.
