I've been pondering this a bit lately. We have a "down-out-forward" downswing and an "up-and-in" thru swing. What makes up the "up" component of the thru-swing? I would think the "in" is pretty much a function of the club being tethered to the grip. Is the "up" a physically controlled motion, a function of the pivot, or is it simply a result of the momentum/direction of the club on the downswing?
I realize the ball is gone after impact but I think the thru swing is a very telling piece of the motion and dictates (or indicates) a lot about what happened previously.
