Although I still only have one student and the reason probably is that I don't have a name known to people and I still have not advertised in golf magazines. However, the first thing I do to the student when teaching a certain aspect of the swing is to tell him the function(s) of the move. THE ONE PIECE STRAIGHT TAKEAWAY IS TO ESTABLISH THE PIVOTAL POINT OF THE BODY JUST BEHIND THE MIDDLE OF THE STANCE AND IT HAS TO BE STRAIGHT SO THAT THE TRANSFER OF THE AXES OF THE HIPS FROM THE B ACKSWING TO THE DOWNSWING IS ALSO STRAIGHT , OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE AND ERROR OF BALL DISTANCING IN THE SWING.WITHOUT THE TAKEAWAY THERE IS A TENDENCY FOR A REVERSE PIVOT AND TOO MUCH TAKEAWAY MAY HAVE A TENDENCY FOR A HIP SPINOUT. ERROR IN BALL DISTANCING(UPPER BODY AXIS TO THE BALL) IS WELL ILLUSTRATED WITH THAT BASKETBALL PLAYER'S SWING. So far Cameron you are the only one that’s open minded enough for conversation.

Your subconscious makes sure your balance is a priority. Conscious thought disrupts the process. However, learning to swing through the gates would assist. The flat spot allows you to swing with confidence (because you are minimising side spin) and confidence is always a good thing. @ Ray: A balanced swing is a result of playing automatically.

As I was explaining to you my biggest problem I believe is automating a consistent balanced swing. I have a tendency to hook but also slice the golf ball. If you have a good balanced swing I believe you would have a better chance to tap into what you believe your natural swing is? Would be keen on anybody elses thoughts on this?
