Tip your trail pocket to the target for the backswing

Maude (relaying Pete Cowen) adds the body pivot to the arm motion for the driver. Once the arms lift, simply pivot or tip your trail pocket toward the target and you have a complete backswing. Coming down, avoid the common slicer move of turning outside the line from the top; instead fire the arms down first with the elbow staying in, then pick up the turn with your right side into impact.
