Time Interval: 00:00:00 – 00:10:47
Summary

- β³ Proper Setup Position β Having 60% weight on the lead foot enables a smooth transition into the backswing, avoiding excessive weight shift to the back foot.
- π Correct Takeaway Movement β The takeaway should start with a pivot into the right heel, preventing an ineffective slide or sway in the hips.
- ποΈ Lead Arm & Clubface Positioning β Keeping the lead arm close to the chest and the clubface square (or slightly closed) ensures better consistency in the swing.
- ποΈ Practice Drill for Stability β Hitting shots off the lead foot only forces proper pivoting and weight transfer, reinforcing better swing habits.
