Brady Riggs is one of my favorite instructors. This tip brought
a lot of things together for me:

His analysis of the "Classic Swing" is worth looking at, too.

If you are concerned about the validity of this move,
though, check out Hogan's left knee in the
into, and commercial on this web page:
http://www.benhogancollection.com/
If someone is reverse-pivoting, or swaying their
hips, or straightening their right knee on the
backswing, or raising up, etc., this may not be
the right move for them. It could, in fact, cause
them to spin out.
If they have those problems, they should fix
them first.
But if someone is making a good backswing
pivot, maintaining spine angle, coiling into
flexed right knee, not swaying the hips, etc.
then this tip can help them maintain spine
angle - which Brady refers to as "Tush Line",
and get the body out of their way on the
downswing, leading to a better impact
position, and in my case, at least, a very
noticable boost in swing speed.

There's lots of ways to swing. If it didn't work for you, that's
fine. It
sure helped me, though.

As I look at frames 1 and 8 of the "Classic Swing," I don't see the
rotation of the left knee, as is described in the video. Personally,
I find is over-exaggeration of this move to be detrimental to the
golfswing. The adage, "swing against a firm left side," would be a
better swing key--which is, in fact, demonstrated in the "Classic
Swing" sequence.
Straightening the left knee after reaching the top of the swing will
initiate the proper hip action as the club is returned to the hitting
position. In frames 1 and 8, the knees are in virutally the same
position. The only difference is that the knee is flexed prior at
address and has straightened out at impact. This is hitting against a
firm left side.

There are videos of him hitting balls on the website that
can be downloaded, 98 mph 7 iron. He can play. He was
recently named a top 50 instructor by one of the golf
magazines.

I can't open link. Is this a link to web page or an AVI file?

Thanks for the link, Bill. A very good website.
The "Classic Swing" analysis may have helped
me with clearing the left shoulder on takeaway, a
problem I have from time to time. I'll find out in
an hour or so when the rain clears :-)

That was a very good link, and tip regarding the left knee. The only
thing that concerned me was his lineup. Since he never struck the
ball I guess that it didn't matter that he was aiming at the trees,
the tip still made sense.
