Re: Left heel on backswing: up or down?

But I'm not a sophisticated student of the swing, so I thought I'd ask you folks: Do you lift your left heel on the backswing? Why or why not? And (whichever you do) how is it working out for you?
I keep my heel down, and I always have, but I'm fairly flexible, so I never feel that it is preventing me from making a full turn. And so far, it's working fine...
