Stance and Posture - How to set up correctly, what to look for, and a drill to nail your setup every time. Takeaway and Backswing - The three types of backswing shapes, how the arms and body operate in concert with each other, width, torque and the action of the trail arm, and a drill to get the backswing moving properly. Transition and Downswing - Reconciling the "down and out path" of the downswing, speed ratios and sweetspot guarantees, and why golfers "come over the top." Impact and the Follow-through - Clubface control and Ball-flight Laws, and finishing in balance. This podcast is also available as a vodcast on YouTube.
