Swing Length:
Start from Pre-Release position and swing forward until your trail arm is fully extended and in line with the club, with the body remaining stable (facing the ball through impact).
Key Positions: • Starting position with full wrist angle and hands across from trail leg (end of club handle is even with back of golf ball).
• Impact occurs with handle slightly leading clubhead with clubface square to target (golf balls will fly straight).
• Finish position with trail arm fully extended and lead arm comfortably folded to the side (this arm orientation is what allows the body to remain facing the ball).
