Do you see what the palm of my left hand is doing? It is pushing back with the

left knee towards the right knee. The Golf swing is a PUSH PUSH.

It is a laying down inside figure 8 shape golf swing. Visualize how you would
throw a ball. You would not just swing it in a circle in front of your body. No

the arm makes this inside figure 8 shape. It is a natural way to use your right
side. The left side will make it terribly hard to use your right side if it is not
contained going back.

Note how the top of my right forearm is aiming to the sky and my right knee
is firing at the ball at a glancing blow. Finish of palm of right hand is as if you
were hitting yourself with a cream pie.
