take the clubface without a shaft....move it square to the swing plane all the way around your body and reconnect it at address..you will see the clubface facing the ball until it reaches about shoulder height where it will then start to face the sky ..then the back of the club will face the ball until u finally reach the address position again ....just follow the hoop (or swing plane all the way around your body with the clubface only).....its really simple   the clubface never swivels it remains in one position the whole time...if it turns on the shaft at all its not true square to square..........hope to have some images by the end of the week to show u....take care..Roy

Are you suppose to leave your wrist bowed like that through out the entire swing?

I'm done until we get the images I've requested.

There's no way you get reasonable distance without loading the second or third accumulators.

The back of the club faces the ball???  Now I'm really confused.  You must be double or triple jointed in your wrists to make that happen.

Show us the pictures. Simple as that. I'm waiting. Address and top of backswing from down the line and face on. Video would be a bonus.

And c'mon, you don't get to say "don't bother me" in a thread you started.

A golf instructor. Accumulator two is wrist cocking and 3 is wrist rolling (basically). You don't hit the ball very far at all if you don't load or unload those.

Am I the only one that finds all of this mechanics talk just messes up their swing?  I have to go by feel and what is natural, and I've done pretty well with that.  If I start thinking about where my takeaway needs to be, different positions in my swing, and loading/unloading....I don't stand a chance....I know I'm doing those things, but if i make a concious effort to work on them things go haywire real fast.  My only thought is the ball and where I want it to go...

So you joined yesterday, started this thread, can't explain what the heck you are talking about, then start insulting people who are just curious about your claims.  Nice.

Name the time and place, old timer. I'm in central Florida.   Want to play straight up, or do I have to give you 2 a side?

There's a challenge. Harmonious, bring a witness (perhaps one with a video camera). Get another Sand Trap member to go along with you.

Roxy, you live in central Florida as well, right? There's your challenge. How much will you play for?

OP wrote in his third post; "have it on film" . What about we stop discussing and you just post the video? It is impossible to reach a conclusion in this kind of discussions without video or photographs. Preferably video, since photograps can be manufactured and doesn't show a whole lot.

I just tried it, it's nearly physically impossible to swing a golf without rotating the club face.  If you do, your gonna look like a jack@$$ and there's no way you can get any power.

I slowed it down so you can see it better.

Not true....thats the first way that a golf swing was ever taught...ask any of the old pros....dont know how mant ways i can describe it to you...were not talking about your body rotating here  were talking about your fore arms which are attached tpo the clubface..if you turn your body and dont rotate your forearms the clubface will be 'sqare" to the swing plane all the way up..you will find it pointing toward the sky at the top of the backswing.....the reason nthis works(AND IT DOES WORK) IS BECAUSE THE CLUBFACE NEVER LEAVES THE BALL AND IT STAYS SQARE MUCH LONGER THAN A ROTATING ONE!!!!/....

In danger of repeating myself, where is your video? Could you provide some pictures, video or graphics to demonstrate your theory? Erik explained his view pretty well, with both graphics and pictures in this thread , so far I believe the one who makes the more convincing case. If you don't plan on doing more than repeating yourself, I honestly don't see much point with this thread going on.
