Re: Left heel on backswing: up or down?

Plany your heel and let that be how you start every downswing and you'll be okay. Because you are adding a variable to your swing when you lift your heel, it would be better not to lift it if you can make a full shoulder turn without lifting. One less variable is a good thing to work toward.
Those are good points. Simpler is better! Fortunately, my flexibility is still good, so the heel-down swing shouldn't be a physical problem for me.
