You need to find a plane you are comfortable with. Either will work, you just need to find one that works for you and stick to it.

If you're walking, then for sure, it makes a difference!

For full swings. "Hit fast, stop fast" they say, I think. They never want the arms to lose the connection to the body....

SQB, Sometimes, grip can contribute to draw/hook. Do do you have a strong grip with your right hand? IF so, try shifting the R-hand grip to more neutral position. If you already have neutral grip, then it's something else.

First of all we do not say the "S" word. Get your weight on the balls of your feet. I prefer to see people's knees more so out over your toes. If you start on your heels, you will have to move your weight foreword to push off your left foot. I believe this can cause just enough movement to get you out on to the s word. I would start there. -Beane

Quote: Many tour pros move their heads including Tiger, so it's not always a bad thing. Really? Check this video out: The many times I have seen Tiger's swing analyzed during a tournament right after he makes a shot always shows the same thing - almost no movement of his head whatsoever, especially on the backswing. I personally consider it critical and believe it has helped my swing tremendously.
