Chuck/craig hope all is well.

Hey Chuck/craig hope all is well. Just an overall question about depth vs width on backswing. I see a lot of guys on tour finding a lot of depth in their backswing, and I feel like rotary’s line of thought is to sacrifice some depth for width. I feel like I can shallow more easily from a deeper position. Leading to less early extension and an easier time into GDP. Question really is how far is “too far” from a depth perspective. Thanks for all you all do.

Hello Michael. The deeper the arms the more you have to recover. You can have a little depth, but ideally the hands don't cross centerline to the extent they are outside the trail shoulder. Is there any particular tour player you want me to refer to?
