An obvious build-up of controlled power waiting to be released into the ball. The lateral shift has taken place in the lower part of the body while the head has been kept back. The triple combination of downward drive with left arm, lateral shift and shaft behind the hands has kept the shoulders back.

  Do not fall into the common error of stiffening the left knee as the heel returns to the ground and of rising up with the body.  This only locks the movement.

  The hands and the shoulders are lagging behind and, remember, so is the club head if the shaft is still behind the hands as I have pointed out.  As the hands slowly descend in this downward drive the angle formed by the left arm and the shaft of the club (as viewed by an observer standing by the tee off) must not be widened.  It will not be if the hands and wrists are retaining proper control and coming down smoothly.  The angle thus formed must be no more than it was when you reached the final point of the backs wing.  In fact, this angle of club-shaft and left arm is likely even to be narrowed under the influence of the left-side movement which has already taken place.
