Tiger does it. The right shoulder works down the line and through the shot with full extension of the right arm - sort of "chasing" down the line of the ball. It carries Tiger (and Adam Scott) to that very full straight up and down finish, as the right shoulder and arm sort of pull everything entirely around and over onto the left side. Arnold Palmer also chased it like this, but, presumably because of the extreme strain it puts on your back to go to a full finish this way, pulled the finish up, whereas Tiger (known as 'gumby') goes ahead and lets it wind all the way out. Compare this "chase move" to anyone who swings more in the reverse C fashion. Colin Montgomery comes to mind. Presumably, the "chase move" keeps the club tracking down the line longer. I don't know if that's true, or if it lessens the frequency of hitting the ball after the club has started working back inside. It'd be interesting to find out. Logically, the wider the swing arc, the smaller the deviation from "straight down the line" for the 3 or so inches before and after the ball -- compared to a narrow arc. Presumably, that would tend to improve average accuracy, by increasing the distance through the ball through which the club is moving more nearly straight down the line. Ah..hell - just hit it. <BR/>http://www.williamyavelak.com/images/chase.jpgWilliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06076407356324769366noreply@blogger.com
