Milo Lines explains why keeping the golf club to your right (trail side) during the downswing transition allows proper body rotation through impact. Pushing the club out in front too early prevents body turn and leads to fat shots or pulls. By letting the club trail behind, golfers can rotate freely and maintain clean contact.
Keep the golf club to your right side as long as possible in the downswing to allow your body to rotate.
Trying to get the club back out in front prematurely prevents body rotation and stalls your swing.
Pushing the club out early often results in hitting behind the ball or pulling shots severely to the left.
Modern tour professionals let the club stay on their trail side, allowing it to catch up naturally near impact.
