Hey everyone

I am curious about this loop in my swing I have, and have always had, that happens in the transition at the top.

Take a look:

Here is a different swing, same loop. Ignore the different positions and stuff, I am always fidgeting and trying to figure out what feels best.

Now. Here is Keegan Bradley with a similar loop:

But here is Adam Scott without one...

Off the top of my head I think Sergio has a bit of a loop too.

So, I don't know! Does it even matter? Someone talk to me and explain please!

The loop is a good thing. I've been working on getting my transition to shallow out more like this.

And it is a good thing BECAUSE it makes the downswing shallower? Aesthetically it is not pleasing to the eye so sometimes I want to get rid of it... but if it is good, I guess not?

Yea, to get the clubhead on plane.

I don't think anybody would recommend changing something just because it doesn't look good. That shallowing in transition is part of the reason you're a 0.2.

Having the clubhead drop below the hand plane is supposed to help square up the clubhead with less effort. According to these guys at least.

You can skip ahead to about 5:20 to hear to what I'm talking about.
