Description: In this instruction session, PGA coach Adam Porzak demonstrates how to shorten an overswing without losing power or turn. By bracing the trail knee to maintain lower body structure and extending the lead arm down the line of the feet, golfers eliminate arm run-off and establish a repeatable, on-plane position at the top.

In this instruction session, PGA coach Adam Porzak demonstrates how to shorten an overswing without losing power or turn. By bracing the trail knee to maintain lower body structure and extending the lead arm down the line of the feet, golfers eliminate arm run-off and establish a repeatable, on-plane position at the top.

Keep your trail knee flexed and braced on the inside of your trail foot to prevent lower body collapse and excessive arm lifting.
Shortening your swing does not mean shortening your shoulder turn; maintain a full torso turn while restricting independent arm run-off.
Extend your hands out down the line of your feet on the backswing rather than pulling them deep inside, which keeps the club on plane.
Pinching the trail elbow underneath keeps the hands high and structured, whereas letting the elbow fly drops the hands into an off-plane position.
