Thanks Tom for the insight and CD for the photo.

The clubface is very closed at the top of the backswing which I feel Mindy may have had also but I don't see much similarity after this.
Mindy had the clubshaft in the same plane as the left arm while Jimmy has the shaft in the same plane as the right arm.
M had a bowed left wrist while J has a cupped left wrist.
M had a tucked in right elbow and J has a flying elbow.
To simulate Jimmy's swing, I have to use the right wrist to turn the clubhead to this very closed position, yet I still cannot achieve the pointing of the shaft of the club much beyond vertical. He has gone way beyond vertical.

I have noticed over my 40+ years of golf that the prodigious hitters of a golf ball seem to have a common thread and that is a very upright backswing just like Jimmy, Jack Nicklaus, a guy called Hank or Haney from my memory who played in the sixties, Mike Austin, Tiger Woods, etc. Has anyone else noticed this? My shoulder joints and my lack of flexibility cannot handle an upright swing. Shame!!
