2D vs 3D, Webinar.

I have found it easier to get the R hip loaded, the pelvis tilted and the chest lowered in the backswing if I think 3D (which a golf swing always is) than 2D (which the instruction often is). In 3D there isn't just R angles (90degrees), it's more diagonal (45 degrees). This made the loading and pelvis tilt and chest drop easier to do and all at the same time instead of the 2D approach which was a mess. I think this is worth mentioning in the next webinar.

That's a solid observation, Asle. You're right that the golf swing is inherently 3D—rotation, lateral shift, and vertical drop all happen simultaneously. Thinking in those diagonal planes rather than isolating one angle at a time can definitely make the backswing feel more coordinated and natural. The key insight you've hit on is that sequencing doesn't mean doing things one at a time; it means understanding how the body actually moves together. When you frame it as 3D from the start, you're already accounting for how the hips, pelvis, and chest interact in real space. Good catch on this. It's a useful mental model for anyone struggling to coordinate the loading phase.
Thanks Asle. Will do.
