A Malaska Golf Member wants to know why you don't do an elevated swing before you do the L to L. Mike explains that Joe Nichols taught him there isn't a down in the golf swing and that your swing should feel level and not down. As you take the club back, you will lever it, then take it up to the transition point and back down to waist high. Joe Nichols described this as turning the corner. This is where the club is always pointing at you throughout the swing. You will also have the "L" on the follow-through. Mike demonstrates the swing action. The club stays level as it moves across your body. Mike describes this as a waist-high fastball. Note that the club remains level, and the club is never behind him or past him. The club should always feel like it is in line with you. Naturally, you don't swing over the top of the ball waist-high, but your hands should feel like they do. Because there is no tension in your wrists, the weight of the club drops down behind the ball. The momentum in the club's weight unhinges down to the ball and rehinges on the follow-through. The momentum and weight of the club make the club go down, then up. Gravity and momentum will make your shots consistent. Mike concludes that L to L and swinging level are the same. One holds the weight of the club up, and the other lets the club drop.
