I have several thoughts around this. Because I think, some of the hardest
part of the golf swing is to make a good back swing. But here's one that
corresponds to the x-factor:
If you swing outside - in on the back swing you will do the same on the down
swing. If you swing inside out with a late "release" (setting the club) on
the back swing you will swing inside out with a late release on the down
swing. In practice, it is quite similar to right foot left foot swing axis
back and down.
