Angles?? How do they hit the ball?

NG to my knowledge has not said that the arms define the body motion. They also say that the body moves first before the arms move down. I have seen this posted many times by them.

This is exactly what NG teaches. Maybe you should get a clue before you post next time.

Never heard Todd say that, I am sure he would agree that the body is moving first on the downswing, just like NG does.

Can you complicate this easy swing any more? My God it is so easy I can't believe you can't see it after all these years. I hope you do one day.
