head. Note the perfect alignments that occur through the impact position. That

Going back to the first picture. This is all what the golf swing is. It is a opening
and closing of a door and you must put yourself on the frame. The frame is
tilted and canted because of the Hybrid Stance but that allows you to swing in
concentric circles. You will get it. This is how you can use the ground for
power and stability.
Crowbar/Crossbow Drill – Address To Top
Things To Remember- Hips control the shoulders, inner and outer circles,
centripetal and centrifugal forces. -
Arms are coming in and then out as in the aikido spiral movement.
Your golf swing is a inside figure 8 shape. Your left side sags in and right side
straightens and then vice versa on your downswing.. This neutralizes the
hook instrument of the club and keeps the hands more inactive as far as
closing the face of the club.-
Golf is played from the inside, twisting around the spine. You don't need to
have your arms away from your turn.
The crowbar drill brings the left knee in . You turn the club with the lower
body and keep your upper left arm against your body. This gives you a
tremendous ability to circle, with that arm.
Your legs would spin your torso. Strive to have your left knee move in a circle
which will help the action of your right knee.
