Now I come to the all-important matter of upper-arm-leverage so perfectly demonstrated in the swing of Ben Hogan.

The upper arm carries the club back and up on a passive, extended (never stiff) left arm.

The forearms and wrists are still not rolled open neither are they turned to shut the club-face.

Where a slight roll or twist does occur is in the upper left arm which has been allowed to swing freely and clear of the body as the shoulders and chest turn - let me repeat - over the retracted stomach.

Only by acquiring this knack of upper-left-arm-leverage with the left shoulder kept UP as it turns can the left arm find room to do its work-the work of tracing out the pattern in this first movement in the building of a well shaped swing. You are on the way to the top of the swing, but so far I have said nothing about the feet.

I will recap and at the same time bring the feet into the picture.

You have:

Started the club back with the hands and felt the
transmission move up through the left forearm into the
upper arm;
turned the shoulders and chest over the retracted
stomach, keeping the left shoulder UP by utilising upper-
left-arm-leverage on a passive extended left arm;
retained the flexed right knee and not stiffened it.
This has enabled the body turn to take place with the
right hip back but NOT drawn up.

Your feet have come into the operation in this way.
