Build a Better Backswing
2. Create a power line
Setup: Take your stance, remove your right hand from the club and extend your left arm straight out in front of you so your club stands straight up and down. Pull your right arm across your belly and brace your right hand against your torso.
Action: Push the grip end of the club as far away from the target as you can without lifting the clubhead off the ground. As you do this, use your right arm to keep your left shoulder from turning past your belt buckle. This drill teaches you to:
1. Keep your chest pointed at the ground.
2. Correctly turn your left shoulder.
3. Load up behind the ball for power. Look for a line that runs from the outside of your left foot to the top of your spine.
Benefit: The "power line" from your left foot to your spine indicates a full turn without loss of posture, and is the hallmark trait of any big hitter. Top 100 Teacher Bruce Hamilton
