sure wayne. Good footwork takes a lot of practice. basically what you are looking for is any wobbliness any jumpiness. the feet should stay on the ground, in position that they started from, weight evenly distributed over each foot, no rolling to the outer edges of the right foot in the backswing, no rolling over the edges of the left foot going through, those suckers need to stay flat and balanced. there should be no lifting only rolling inwards towards one another slightly until the right foot is pulled up onto the toe after it has rolled in and after impact. good footwork is not work, its effortless balance and a perfect foundation for your machine, you wouldnt want a house whose foundation is wiggling around all over the place jumping around. the left foot should roll slightly towards the right in the backswing and right foot roll slightly towards the left going through. next time you video your swing forget the swing itself and zoom in on the feet, watch them carefully youll probably notice balance issues, FIX THEM period and your whole swing will benefit

compare the footwork here with luke donald pay close attention notice how he does not roll to the outer edge of his right foot in the backswing its as if someone is holding his foot on the ground flatttttt as a pancake, notice how he rolls in towards the left, but also notice that he does slightly get to the outer edge of the left foot going through, thats a no no. compare our footwork, i like mine better no rolling over the edge right foot comes up a little later.
