Flat .. When I stand (the correct distance) in front of a hedge (trying to stop itcure it) My club goes straight into the hedge (Raymond Floyd, John Daly like, maybe not as bad lol) just after half way back. At the topend of backswing my position not so bad.. maybe a *little* low and laid off but I get it up there, but arched wrist and closed clubface.
I get my Camcorder soon so this should help but I think it's a combination of my arms going round too much and over bending my right wrist. It's not over rotating my left or right wrist that's for sure.
But I've been hitting the ball so well, it's annoying, my swing is ugly.
When I take my arms straight up it feels *ridiculous* (way off plane etc.) .. this maybe due to me overdoing the twist away move, because when I take my arms straight up like this the clubhead gets well closed and my left wrist way too arched.
Also I have this dilema with the first start of the takeaway. If I give the club a little 'push' (diagonally away from my body it feels like) with my left arm, with shoulder turn (feels like no lateral motion of left arm.. carrying motion as you call it?) , I don't get arched at the top (no over doing the twist away issue) .
If I take the club back with my triangle or right forearm and no discrimination from wrists (think hitters takeaway) I'm back to arched left wrist at topshut club face. The clubhead gets very shut even halfway back) .
I've been trying to get those thumbs up half way back and feeling sticking that club at the sky but then I slice it.
Also I can't seem to get my right elbow above my left arm at the halfway stage in back swing (See Lynn Blake's backswing). I can see yours is above your left arm.
Sorry, bit of a jumbled mess there.
