A little clarification please - when I look at the clam shell and the AXIOM.

Tom N · · Fair Oaks, CA
A little clarification please - when I look at the clam shell and the AXIOM downswing videos it appears to me that getting the lead hip to stay on the tush line at impact or preferably break the initial tush line requires that your chest be slightly (20 degrees +/-) open to the target at impact. Further it appears that you keep your shoulders square to the target at impact by protracting your lead shoulder (rounded) and keeping your trail shoulder retracted. I seem to remember seeing/hearing this comment once somewhere in some video. Rather than trolling through all of them I thought I might get some assistance from Craig, the human video vault.

Hello Tom. Haha. Now, this is a tough one. I know the video which you are referring too. However, a lot of video titles have changed. It will take me a second to find it. I would watch the Overview of the Push Release as it will describe a lot of what happens. I am on the search for the video. Pretty sure it was a Live Lesson.

Also, a little bit in this video. But, more for the swing plane. Not the one I am looking for. Why You DON'T Pull the Butt of the Club Toward the Ball.
