Jim,
I recently saw a blog on youtube.com where you are showing clips of several great players like, Nicklaus and you are commenting about how they all allow they’re left heal to come off the ground on the backswing. Then you mention how these great players lower the left heal back down to the ground to start the down swing from ther ground up.
Though this “left heal method” of the down swing is not used much in the modern game. Can you tell me the title of this blog or clip on youtube.com? I can’t seem to find it anymore.
Thanks,

Bill:
Maybe to the surprise of many golfers, almost 1/3 of the PGA Tour players let their front heel come off the ground when they’re using a driver. Phil Mickelson. Vijay Singh. Padraig Harrington. Lee Westwood. Steve Stricker. Bubba Watson. Tom Watson.
