Thanks Paul. I like this tip a lot. The problem I’m having (and it affects my consistency) is that when I’m addressing the ball I’m not consistent with my backswing plane. I can be perfect when I’m standing upright and very reproducible but when I flex my hips to get down to the ball my shoulder plane changes. I’m pretty good with staying upright and having a “tall” setup but I’m sure I get over or under the plane when I coil. It’s like my shoulders rotate on a different plane from day to day.
Just wondering if you have any tips or “feel” that can help so I’m more consistent with my plane in my backswing?
Keep in mind you are only flexing until you feel your legs activated. I get the feeling you might be flexing too much. Also, look up to the sky then look down and only see the club and ball clearly not your toes. If you see your toes clearly you are too low which could lead to steep shoulders going back.
