In the down swing, you want as much club face rotation as possible, while having as little hand and forearm manipulation (rotation) as possible.
Here is a thought that will blow your mind…

But, there’s a difference between LETTING the club face rotate and MAKING the club face rotate.
If what you say is true, about not manipulating the hands and forearms, that means that the face rotation must be a product of shoulder influence. Could shoulders do that, as part of “hand-eye” coordination? They sure could.
Shoulders are the most mobile joint in your body. If you did some research on it, you’d find that shoulder muscles “ensure a precise and rapid movement of the shoulder joint, needed for hand and arm manipulation.”
Good thing that’s on auto-pilot.
One comment….”core rotation”. Rotate left from knees to armpits to square clubface.
woody and BP get it.
right on….exactly what I said I learned after multiple decades on swingcrack

Realized this a few days ago…glad to see that you coincidentally verified this!
I think this is what “holding the lag” is actually supposed to be interpreted as.
Just for the fun of it and to realize how a completely natural swing looks like 😉

Any thoughts, Monte?
I love that action. He’s got the club perfectly in synch with his core rotation.
Penick would like the swing because he seems intent on his target. Good job. 🙂
The sad thing, what he does naturally is my biggest problem in learning a decent swing 😉 Sad for me though, not for him…
