Step 4: Start Down with Your Hips

To start your downswing, feel as if you're pressing your left foot into the ground as you turn your hips to the left of the target. Your lower body moves first, followed by your shoulders. This gives you the leverage and power you need for the distance you're facing. Notice how my right elbow is still tucked into my right side deep into my downswing. I won't think about straightening it until a foot after impact.
