Online Students: Stuart Keay

Stuart’s swing gives us another classic example of the overuse of the right upper arm and shoulder to complete the backswing turn. I have always favored a toe up position for the clubhead at P2, but after years of analyzing swings and watching closed face backswings produce multiple right arm positions I can now explain more succinctly why. If you get into a mirror with a club from down the line and take the club back to left arm parallel with little rotation in the forearms you will find that the right palm will continue to face more toward the ground and the right shoulder will begin to stress as it tries to gain height.
