Just jotting down a few Non Negotiable items to kick things off here:

  1. Flat Lie Angles, Heavy heads, stiff shafts, no offset
  2. Wide Stance
  3. Maximum weight transfer
  4. Left arm on shoulder line
  5. Laggy takeaway getting shaft perpendicular to left arm by 9 oclock
  6. Cupped wrist at the top
  7. Torso more vertical than not…with level shoulder rotation
  8. Straight left arm created by right arm support
  9. Tripping the shaft at transition
  10. Weight 95% on right foot through transition
  11. Major push off the right foot through transtion assists in saving pivot rotation
  12. Tripping the shaft and lateral push must happen simultaneously
  13. Shoulders and hips remain closed as far into downswing as possible
  14. After tripping the shaft, hands move down to right hip pocket
  15. Strike from the 4:30 line with weight on left foot
  16. Clubface as open as possible at P3 prior to strike
  17. Hands low through impact (heel heavy divot)
  18. Maximum body rotation through the strike
  19. Right elbow frozen through the strike
  20. Forward shaft lean resisted through the strike
  21. Level shoulder rotation through strike
  22. Cohesive body tensions in place throughout the swing
  23. Mod 3 foot grind from P3 to finish
  24. Hold shaft flex through strike (acceleration)
  25. Hands cut left post impact keeping clubface looking at target
  26. Pressure taken off the shaft at transition
  27. Shaft falls behind body while weight transfers left laterally (free ride down)
  28. Grip is firm but flexible in wrists
  29. Grip is fairly neutral
  30. Finish with weight on left foot
  31. Finish with shoulders rotated as open as possible
  32. Finish with upper left arm parallel to ground, shaft more skyward
  33. Grip in fingers is firm
  34. Head moves down and laterally on downswing as knees flex and weight moves left
  35. Right foot perpendicular to target line at address
  36. Right knee is allowed to straighten on the backswing
  37. Left knee straightens from P4 to finish but is pulled straight by the torso and hip rotation…not independently

Start a new topic on any of these to further the discussion.
