The hands, however, are a full finger span away from my left leg. This full extension of my left arm gives me the fullest arc possible during my swing. The knees are flexed in slightly to give me a tripod balance, and my weight is evenly distributed between both feet. On the backswing, strive for a one-piece movement by taking the club¬head away from the ball first, followed by the movement of the hands, arms, shoulders, and hips, in that order, until you reach the top of the backswing. After the clubhead moves away from the ball, I feel that my arms and shoul¬ders create the one-piece movement through a turning action of the shoul¬ders and a lifting movement of the arms. As the hands reach a point about belt-high, the wrists begin a gradual cocking action which helps create the delayed-hitting technique that is so important for hitting the ball a great distance.
At the top of the swing, the shoulders have turned a full 90 degrees while the hips have turned only 45 degrees in relation to their basic address position. The right elbow points toward the ground and the left arm is straight and firm.
At the start of the downswing, the left hip moves laterally (toward the target) first and then begins a turning movement around and to the left which "clears" the entire left side so that the arms and hands can lash out at the ball without the body blocking the force of the blow.
The important points to remember:
1. The wrists are fully cocked as I enter the hitting area.
2. My right elbow has returned to my right side and is helping to lead the
arms and hands into the hitting area.
3. My left heel is firmly planted on the ground.
4. My weight is shifting to the left side.
5. A strong pulling-down action is being exerted by my left hand, arm, and
shoulder, yet my head is still behind the ball and in the same relative
position as it was at address.
