Trail arm at impact

"is bent like a dog's hind leg" is how Bertholy describes successful angle retention. And as we've posted ad-nauseum on this form, looking at lead arm/shaft angle angle from a head-on camera view is very misleading. I think that you would get more out of examining the trail arm/hand angles from a side-view.

Use my own experience as your guide. See how good my angle retention "appears" to be in the front view? Now look at my trail arm from the side view in the same swing at 6/100's and impact ... not so good!



Now look at Scott Hazeldine at 6/100's and impact. Look at the trail arm bend!! That's what you're looking for.
