Its this feeling of the hands going "in" or left that is being referred to in "swinging left". Arguably a terrible name given that the golfing world is already plagued with cross line, out to in swing paths, "roundhousing".

The MORAD fella's have their CF and CP releases, other teachers have their "swinging level left" release vs a "down the line release". Im wondering if this is just really different hinge actions with their various clubhead travel distances at both arms straight?

Any ideas?

OB,

I'm not sure that I am a believer in the "swing left" deal. I believe in the Plane that Mr. Kelley describes...

I have always been a staller, slinger, flipper. My clubhead stayed on my target line far to long as it flipped through impact. To me, getting the club back on the plane at follow through and into finish "feels" like swinging left, but is really just traveling back up the plane rather than steering.

Might just be a personal problem.

I don't care for the thought of "swinging left" I still believe the club needs to travel down-out-forward to follow through, then head back up the plane. I believe Mr. Trevino's plane was just aligned left.

Right or wrong, did I just make any sense?
