COMPLETE THE BACKSWING
Complete your backswing using your shoul-
der rotation and not by liing the arms. It will
likely feel as if you are only doing a half swing,
but staying connected is the big key to a more
powerful and consistent swing.
SIT IN THE CHAIR
Turning your rib cage and rotating your
shoulders back has created a more functional
lower body coil, so we can simply begin the
change of direction by crunching our core and
pelvic area as if we intend to sit slightly down-
ward and backward into a chair. is transitional
movement appears almost like a squat. is helps
stabilize your foundation and core to pull your
hands and arms down on the ideal path instead
of out over the top. You do not need to do any-
thing with your hands—just let the legs and
trunk and arms do the work.
BACK DOWN AND THROUGH
THE HALLWAY
Aer impact we want to see our
clubhead trace along the target line,
mirroring what we did swinging
back. By four o'clock we should be
pointing at the target line and by three
your trail arm should point toward
the target as if shaking hands with it.

If you trust this process, consistent performance will appear.
It comes down to feeling your sequence of motion and combining
it with a consistent mental process. Feel it and trust it!
