Homer Kelley was the first in history to identify and articulate this phenomenon. Thirty years ago next January, he explained it to me personally. For that I am grateful.

On the lesson tee now almost every day, I am more aware than ever of its importance. Consciously or subconsciously, the higher-handicap golfer does not allow the natural rotation to occur. Hence, Golf's #1 Snare: Steering (3-F-7-A).

I demonstrate the basic concept two ways. First, using my big club and a plumb bob. Then, with the aid of alignment rods, the interaction between the Sweetspot, the Clubshaft, and their respective Planes.

If I can scare up some help this weekend, I'll do a video.
