Excellent tip. The back swing is an optical illusion.

This is a fantastic tip for people who take the club back too inside and too flat. This was my biggest issue years ago. I began rehearsing a practice swing move where I kept my left arm straight, and simply folded my right arm to 90 degrees, just as Steven explained. (The difference being that my left arm would move a bit more across my body than you see here.) in time, my arm bend and body turn blended together. Interestingly, this also cured my other issue, crossing over at the top.

All I have to say is WOW! I have never seen it explained like that and it makes perfect sense. Can't wait to try that take-away out on the range.

i want to punch my instructor in the mouth after seeing and know understanding the component of arms going up blended with the turn. no wonder i have been hitting pushes and blocks club swung around body to deep and flat, club is weightless now and higher and can drop down into slot turn and burn, this tip is money....

THANK YOU!!! BEST TIP EVER.

this is quite and unbelievable lesson for golfers who have been tweaking away for years on their swing. Thanks Steve.

@rockerz9 thats why its a backswing. the downswing is started by a shift of the hip down the target line which naturally drops your hands down into the slow then rotate and release from there.

You are going to make me a professional golfer. This is the best tip i have ever received and i would like to thank you wholeheartedly.

Nice tip!

I do have one question, hope than someone with good golf knowledge can provide a valid answer

If I take my take my posture and lift my arms like Steven does, my left arm disconnects from my body right away, which is a bad thing... confused because this tip does helped with I tried it!
