One thing.

Open stance line and Square Plane line. When you take your stance in an open to the Target Line and turn to the right to Square the shoulders, two things are often overlooked. Ball Position and Hip Turn.

1. Check Ball Position and make sure that your head is still centered between your feet.
   
2. Hip Turn includes Knee Bend. When your Hips are turned to the right, you knees must bend and turn also. Especially the Left Knee must bend and Turn. This little point will allow you to acquire and use a Little Hip Action on even the very shortest of strokes. If you simply twist your body to the right to square your shoulders you won't have the connection for hip action. Remember....in TGM...the Knees respond to the needs of Hip Turn.

So, with your Head centered and your hands at Impact Location, the Ball will be to the Right of your head in order for the ball to be behind Low-Point. Set-up is important to allow the components to function properly through the range of the stroke.
