KEY POINTS
AIM
Pre shot routine – select an intermediate target
Aim the blade square to the target line
The body should be parallel to the target line
HOLD
As normal
SET UP
Take a wide stance – shoulder width for optimum balance
Ensure that your weight favours the balls of your feet
Tee ball up high and just inside front foot
Sense that you are behind the ball, with your weight slightly favouring your back foot
Allow your arms to hang naturally with your elbows comfortably pressed towards each other
BACK SWING
Your take away should be initiated by a turning of your shoulders
Width is key throughout
At the top – look for the following – weight favours inside of right leg / posture has remained constant / full shoulder turn with sternum over right leg / shaft faces target
THROUGH SWING
Transition move is key – arms swing down as weight transfers into front foot and body unwinds. This allows club to approach ball from an inside path
At impact your weight will favour your front, however your sternum should be behind the ball and your posture constant
Your right shoulder will turn under your chin as you extend towards the target ensuring that you sweep the ball off the tee
Finish facing the target in balance
PRACTICE/DRILLS
Hold arms across chest and make slow motion pivots
