2 DIFFERENT METHODS

Even though there are different methods around the green, we believe that for a standard ball flight, there is only one

STANDARD BALL FLIGHT

SETUP

Stance width narrow, with the left foot turned out slightly
Feet are square to the target, but will look open due to the foot position
Ball position approx. middle of the heels
Upper body slightly open to the target, with the chest pointed the left side of the ball
The chest position will place slightly more weight on the lead foot
Stacked position with the body parts on top of each other
Posture & balance the same for a regular shot, making sure bent forward so arms hang underneath
Right hand grip weaker than normal, placed more over the club
Soft arms, more so than a regular shot
Lie of the club (shaft plane) sitting on the ground as the club has been designed
Very little forward lean of the club shaft
Clubface slightly open (1 o'clock)

BACKSWING

Body is a stabilizer (not much body movement)
Club swings on plane, hands and head
Right arm folding and rotating (externally rotating)
Dish angle in the left wrist remaining (extension)
Clubface square or open to the plane
Medium sided arch as a result of a natural setting (cocking) of the wrists

Check point – toe up, and in the middle of the hands at waist high

DOWNSWING – SEQUENCE

Opposite to the full swing
Clubhead moves first and fastest in the beginning of the downswing
The correct sequence being clubhead first, then the left arm and chest, lastly the hips
The shaft position, and loft of the club very similar to that of address
The bounce of the club will be making contact with the ground

RELEASE

Body rotation supporting the movement of the club and arms
Right wrist staying underneath the left wrist, so the clubface may appear open
Dish angle remains the in the left wrist (extension)
Left arm folding around the left side of the ribs
Shoulder turn level, assisted by the left foot position
Medium sided arch as a result of natural resetting (cocking) of the wrists

BODY MOVEMENT

Always moving in the direction of the target
Head moves towards the target in the backswing
Stays towards the target in the downswing and release
