Too simple?

[bcoak]

I actually got to hit some balls and chip a little on Friday which allowed me to put your swing lessons to a test, Brian. I was wondering if this feel was correct or not - from the top of my backswing, and with a flat left/bent right, can I just concentrate on dropping that whole unit into the ball and keep the same angles thru to my finish?

yup

...oh yeah...ROTATE!

so simple...yet so profound...yet so often manipulated and destroyed

Great post J...

Brian, would you also compare this to a 'punch shot' feel?

Drop and rotate only would be swinging, not hitting, which requires an active right arm.

That's it, and most importantly without a single care where the ball goes, just concentrate on what you must do for the shot at hand. The ball flight will tell you if you have done everything correctly.

This image reminds me of Freddy Couples, just dropping and rotating. Would he be a good example?

Also, if you are swinging should you try and utilize a specific type of hinge action?
