Several months ago I had a post regarding how much should the left arm rotate
on the backswing. A great discussion arose of who nows more and yet I think
the question was forgotten. I have always had a very upright backswing and am
trying to flatten it or get on plane. My thoughts are to rotate the left arm
more on the backswing , this seems like a reasonable fix but how do you know
without video tapping , if it is the right amount or to much. TIM

Tim,

Focus on the alignments of the Left Hand -- specifically the Flat Left Wrist
-- not on the Left Arm. Then, as a Swinger, use Standard Wrist Action
(10-18-A) to immediately Turn the Left Hand 'Palm Down to the Plane' during
Start-Up and maintain that alignment to The Top.

Alternatively, particularly for Hitters, let your Pivot and Arm Swing gradually
bring your Left Hand to that identical 'Palm Down to the Plane' alignment
at The Top. This is using Hinge Action (7-10) -- either Horizontal (Swingers
10-18-C-1) or Angled (Hitters 10-18-C-2) -- as a substitute for Wrist Action.


An important point: In Standard Wrist Action, the Hand is independently
Turned (Swiveled via the Left Forearm). Using the Hinge Action
Variation, the Hand Turns, but it is not Turned (Swiveled).
