Hold a club across your chest and turn so that the shaft forms a 90 degree angle with the edge of the table. You've just done a 90 degree turn. Dave Clary/Corpus Christi, TX http://davidclary.com

Tried to leave my buttocks against the wall while turning to 90degrees, only Michelle Wie can do that ;0) -- Rog http://www.rog.richieward.com

I can do it, but it hurts. That's OK, that's not how golfers turn 90�.

I think the biggest thing about Hardy's 1P swing is that he wants you to get the club "behind" you--something others would call a swing fault. I think Hogan is a good example of the shaft swinging on a plane that is parallel with the shoulder's turning plane, but from what I've seen, he relied more on lower body action than Hardy advises. BTW, I actually got out on the course this morning. I played 10-16 and hit a couple balls off each tee. The last time I played (5-6 weeks ago) I was hitting the ball great off the tee but I couldn't do a damn things around the greens. Today was just the opposite--I couldn't find a fairway to save my life but I had three 30-40 yard pitch shots that ended up inside of two feet. Oh well...
