Diagnose steepness: hands not turned to top with the body

The coach's diagnosis of a steep swing: if you get steep, it's because your hands weren't turned up to the top together with your body's turn. The two faults are the club getting a little out of position in the takeaway and then the hands lifting. Reduce those two things, get the club to the right spot and turn it to the top together with the body, and the steepness resolves.
