Looking at the sequences below, my eye can be automatically drawn to the way in which Lee's shoulders control the entire motion. From the set-up, he maintains his arm and club position to the top with the wonderful movement of his upper body. At the leading of the golf swing both the left arm and also the shoulders are at 45 degrees (or thereabouts), and as we have highlighted here he creates a distinct top angle between his left arm and also the clubshaft - large leverage and electrical power there.
A perfect pre-delivery position - the discount golf clubs can be neither too far behind him or too much in front. Only now does the top elbow get below the left - a natural hitting position as a player prepares for impact. He squares it all up with the hips and shoulders turning in the extremely next frame.
Lee moves to figure out the shot with outstanding footwork - i.e. his weight is usually going in the direction in which he wishes to fire the shot with r9 460 driver. You keep the ground as I continuously remind my players. In case you lose the ground then you might lose all control of what's happening above the ground. (You see the same thing with Rory).
Look how far left of the target Lee's body is facing at the finish - the result of a totally committed rotation and release via the golf ball. Remember, your hand arc should be to the left of the target line - that's a point many amateurs fail to get to grips with (hence they 'chase' the ball down the target line, which expenses them speed). Lee's whole body is certainly rotated left of the play line. He turns left, the ball goes straight, and he wraps it all up in ideal balance.
