Close the knees to shallow the club

Craig Hanson uses lead-side extension and the knees closing through the ball as a checkpoint. He says seeing the lead arm and the shoulder up over the head helps players come from the inside and shallow the plane, then describes putting a line between the feet and rehearsing the knees working together with the left side moving up.
