Westwood’s long standing coach and Master PGA Professional Pete Cowen explains why Lee is not only an exceptional ball striker but also one of the straightest.
1. Good posture with the shaft plane matching Lee’s hip angle to encourage the correct movement up and around the body.
2. Lee’s shoulder angle and left arm match with a good wrist set.
3. With the right hip going up and loading I would like to see the right arm a little more vertical at this point in the swing just to support the left arm.
4. A good squat into the delivery with a good left arm position and the shaft on plane to the ball.
5. Lee has stayed in the shot but still turns to stablise impact.
6. Lee’s trademark bent left elbow with a good body turn supports his fade.
