STEP 1: Your feet should be shoulder-width apart. Slighty lean forward and keep your knees slightly bent. Hold the club snugly with the interlock grip (the pinkie of your right hand and index finger of your left are wrapped around each other). Your grip should not be too tight that there's no more room for wrist movement, or too loose that the club slips off your fingers.
|
 |
STEP 2: Turn your hands clockwise and bring the club parallel with the toe line: the shaft should be parallel to the ground, your left knee should naturally move towards the right knee, and your club and your hands should be hip high.
|
 |
STEP 3: Move your back towards the target, keeping the weight on the inside of your right knee.
|
 |
STEP 4: Swing your hands up over your right shoulder. Your shoulders are turned to help the hand and arms go up. The hips will follow your shoulder, then the left foot rolls on its inner side and makes your left knee move slightly to the right. Keep your left heel flat on the ground and your right elbow pointing down.
|
 |
STEP 5: Turn your left hip towards the target and return your left foot to its original position at address. Your right foot should roll to its inner side, sending the right knee to the left, turning your left knee towards the target, and pulling the right shoulder and the club down and around.
|
 |
STEP 6: Drop your left arm in front of the toe line as your right elbow drops to your right hip.
|
 |
STEP 7: Turn your hip towards the target and move your right knee towards the left followed by your shoulders. The angle of your club shaft and left forearm should remain unchanged as your club and hands move towards the toe line.
|
 |
STEP 8: Hit the ball. Your right shoulder should be lower than your left. Turn your belt buckle towards your target.
|
 |
STEP 9: Your right heel may rise due to the momentum. Your right arm and club should extend in a straight line. The V position of your arms should be retained in the follow-through. This is the sign that your club hit the ball with maximum speed.
|
 |
STEP 10: At follow-through, your hand should be over your left shoulder. Most of your weight should be on the left foot and your right foot is on its toe to retain balance.
