Fix Your

shoulder

Turn

Coil against a
flexed right knee

A key cause of slicing is failing to complete your
backswing. For most golfers this is caused by
nothing more than anxiety and tension. However, a
full shoulder turn is the ideal antidote to a snatched
and hurried takeaway. How important is a good
shoulder turn? Well, if you get it right it ensures that
15 other parts of your swing slot neatly into place.

The right knee isthe
fulcrum of yourgolf
swing. Retainingthe
flex in the backswing
helps you coil correctly
and maintain a
consistent spine angle.
