Every good golf swing requires you to use your entire body.  Making a full turn on the backswing with you hips and shoulders is a must.  Failure to do so results in a weak swing generated by your arms.

             A quick way to see if you are making the proper turn is to place your hands on your hips and turn back or to the right.  Your head will now be looking over your left shoulder.  If you have turned correctly, you will feel the rotation of your spine.  Once in this position notice that your back is now facing the target or direction you want your golf ball to go.  Make sure your feel the weight transfer to the inside of your right foot.  This is a key element to properly transferring the weight back to the left side.

             Now turn your entire body to the left side or follow thru.  As you produce this follow thru you will feel the weight on the inside of right foot pushing forward.  This motion allows the body to turn freely finishing with your head, belly button, chest facing the target and your weight now in balanced to your left side.

             If you continue to check and practice this full turn, you will improve your swing and Turn on the Power to your game!
