Simply flattening the club alone isn’t enough because it only addresses part of the swing motion. In this video of Viktor Hovland, you can see how the club flattens, and the arms, including the elbow, stay relatively close to the body at impact.
If you only focus on flattening the club without properly syncing your arms and body, the club can get stuck behind your body, and this often leads to blocked shots.
It’s the combination of flattening and the feeling described by professionals like Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Rose:
The back remains facing the target as long as possible, while the arms initially move downward. The benefit of this movement combination is that it allows the clubface to stay square through the ball for a longer period, leading to more control and precise shots.
However, this is a tip for more advanced players. If you haven’t yet built the correct kinetic chain—such as weight transfer, hip rotation, and so on—this advice won’t be of much help. Mastering those fundamentals first is crucial to make this technique effective.

The timings is so difficult…… you start the down swing with you left knee Hogan said.is still the best advice ever
Looks like victor

Isn't that painful to your back, the twisting of your back the whole game not to mention everytime you play golf?
At p5 bow your wrist to keep the club head travelling down the correct swing path while the hands are travelling down due to gravity (some pulling) and outwards due to body rotation. Relax the wrist by p6 to allow the stored up energy to release the club. Is that correct? I am a 20 hcp 🙂
