Mike Roberts
This slow motion swing demonstrates the wide take-away that leads to better rhythm every time. When Mike has swung his club to waist high, he then begins to cock his wrists. Note that his shoulders have continued to lead the shape the back-swing. Because our torsos are the biggest part of us, we must include them right from the beginning our our take-away. Don't start your backswing with only your wrists and hands. Another thing to note in Mike's take-away at the half-way position in the back-swing is that centrifugal forces assists him to cock his wrists. This is more of a passive reaction rather than an active one. If players stop their arms at (about) shoulder high in the backswing then the club will want to continue on under the centrifugal force already created. Once the wrists are cocked then the arms will begin the downswing in sympathy with the legs and hips which must move toward the left leg. The shoulders remain passive and follow the lead of the hips and legs so that the downswing is commenced from the ground up - ie begin your downswing by transfering your weight first.

The ideal hitting position during impact is a mirror of the address position. The plane of the swing (club path) must swing along the target line. It is essential to continue to release through the ball into a high follow-through position where good balance is demonstrated.
