From: puttster on 12 Mar 2007 21:21 Johnny Miller pointed out that Mark Wilson keeps his right arm tight against his side all the way in the backswing. He said it was the old style. Every golf mag and TV show today demos only the complete opposite. Anyway, I gave it a try and really liked it! What is with that swing? Were can I learn more about it? Putts

When I heard him say this, I replied that that is where the elbow belongs. He looked a bit increduolous, until the pro told him that I was 100% correct. Of course, my swing can be considered old school, I guess. David

It ultimately creates an almost flat swing. If you watch Mark's swing you can almost see where the club is going before he actually swings. It's a pleasure to watch. Most teachers today will not teach a flat swing, they will teach more of an upright swing. You can see more swings like Mark's on the LPGA, than you can on the PGA. A www.swingstripe.com

That's a 'symptom' of a one-plane swing. http://www.planetruthforgolfers.com/index.html -- Bosco
