Some of my game has taken a dramatic downturn recently, so I went back to "the books" in desperation. One of them was The SwingFactory which describes the teachings of Leslie King.
One of the things that is stressed throughout this book is the requirement to keep the left shoulder at a constant height through the backswing. When I do this, I feel as though I only ever achieve a 3/4 swing (lack of suppleness is probably to blame for that), and it seems that I have an unrealistically flat swing plane BUT practising this week and playing a round yesterday, it has made a significant improvement (scored my lowest score for a couple of months yesterday).
I'm guessing that I have a natural tendency to rock my shoulders whilst turning them, that's why this seems so strange.
Anybody else read this book/teaching method and found it useful? Anybody else feel that their swing is so flat that the club will never reach the ground again?
