Short Game - Swing Shape

Swing Arc - the circle or radius of the swing most importantly described by the club head but also by the hands.

Swing Plane - the angle of the swing, which because we stand to the side and above the ball is referred to as inside and up on an inclined plane.

Approach - the angle at which the club head descends into impact.  Wider swings tend to be more shallow, narrower ones steeper.

Always swing inside and up on the way back; down and back to inside and up on the follow-through.

Never change the direction of your swing path by swinging our hands and arms independently.

The club moves around the body on all shots, except perhaps a putt, so we must align our bodies square to the direction (left or right) we require the swing to travel in.

On almost all shots we are endeavouring to contact the ball with a descending blow, followed by contact with the ground and a shallow divot.
