Rehearse backswing and transition in positions

The instructor breaks the on-plane backswing and transition into positions. Position one braces around the trail leg; at the top, the trail arm folds while the shoulders continue; transition moves into the lead knee and rotates everything together while maintaining leverage and side bend into position three.

Try it

  1. Move everything away to position one and brace around the trail leg.
  2. Let the trail arm fold and the shoulders continue to place the club on plane.
  3. Transition into the lead knee.
  4. Rotate everything together while maintaining the leverage angle and side bend.

Why this context matters

This is the instructor's single-plane position model.
