 IN YOUR BACKSWING 
 YOUR BODY'S JOB IS
 TO ROTATE LEVEL.
 THE ONLY THING
 THAT RAISES IS YOUR
 ARMS AND THE
 CLUB.



 CHOOSE ONE MODEL
 OF BALL AND PLAY
 THAT TYPE ALL THE
 TIME AS BALLS HAVE
 DIFFERENT  CHARACTERISTICS.
 

 

 

At address right shoulder is lower than left because right hand is lower on club than left. Left foot turned out slightly to allow hips to clear more Easyly in follow-through. Ball position with a wood is left of center of your feet.
At this halfway back position in the backswing ask yourself, "Has most of my weight shift taken place?" Answer should be yes. By the time the club gets to parallel to the ground, wrists should be hinging upward and bending of right elbow is apparent.
In your backswing your body's job is to rotate level (in your mind's eye). The only thing that raises is your arms and club not your body. At the top of backswing wrist action, arm raise, shoulder turn, hip turn are all completing in harmony with weight shift to right foot.
Approaching impact, weight is shifting to left side while arm/hands/club swing down. Imagine how if I had a tail behind me like an alligator it would be swinging back around me to my right.
Still in posture, my head even after impact is over right knee ( behind the ball ). Notice forearms and wrists rolling and extension of right arm. Weight moving through to left side from underneath. My right side is arcing like a banana.
Only here in the follow-through do I raise up to see the completion of the shot that I visualized. Think of all your weight being on left foot, hips facing the target. If you are using knees, thighs, and hips to help motivate your downswing this 'feel at ease' follow-through position will happen automatically. When you finish the swing check yourself. Hips facing target? Look at right foot. If not completed then put yourself in full follow-through position immediately from wherever you are.
