Lift the left heel to deepen your senior backswing pivot

Craig Hanson lifts his left heel off the ground during the swing to get more depth of pivot in the backswing. He shows that you can even hit balls with the left heel already up in the air before you start the swing, using that as a way to build a deeper pivot. Aimed at senior golfers wanting a fuller turn.
