I’m still in the basement and for the third segment of this five-video “Basement Tapes” lecture series I’m talking about “The Transition”. The transition from backswing to downswing is a very important part of the golf swing. For the purposes of this video I’m describing the transition as being from P3 to P5.

Also, it’s important for the hips to stay in the box and not sway to the right from the face on view. Monday’s “Basement Tapes” lecture is: “The Transition”
