I've seen this debated on other forums. Some will answer not at all, while others say it matters a lot.
I'm going to assume it differs from individual to individual. Those who argue that since it happens after impact it has no bearing might be ones who perhaps have a decently grooved swing??? I believe (for me) it can help create a better impact position if everything is in a good position at the top of the backswing.
My thoughts... As I approach 2022 working towards an improved mental game, I'm reminded by the experts that during the action phase of the swing, thoughts are a killer. If true, I want to eliminate as many as possible. Keep 1, maybe 2 until the swing becomes closer to no thoughts.
While I'm practicing, I'm working on developing better positions throughout the swing P1 through P10. However, once on the course, it'll be a matter of addressing the ball and only thinking about P4 and P8???
If I can get the backswing or starting point of the DS to become repeatable and focus on where my body, arms and hands need to be post impact, I'm hoping that blur in between the two might be easier to repeat.
Thoughts?
