While the left arm will feel floppy like dead weight and advance around the circle from the action of the hips and legs, the right arm will be making a much different motion.

"Steve,
I recently watched your "Mike Austin Takeaway" video. I was struck by your penetrating insights and keen awareness of what was ACTUALLY going on in Austin's swing apart from the misleading observations and
interpretations of others.
Many golf pupils and instructors suffer from what psychologists call "confirmation bias" or "group think." You don't. Congratulations.
I have authored a book, entitled GOLF'S THREE NOBLE TRUTHS (2007), focusing on awareness, balance and unity. I lament, among other things, the woeful lack of growth among most golfers. I assert that there's something seriously wrong with the way golf is currently being taught and learned. Simply put, I smell a rat.
Thus, it's no surprise -- given your rare ability to perceive and think independently -- that you have succeeded in recognizing and teaching the proper bio-mechanics associated with the Mike Austin Swing. How wonderful.
Thank you for your work. I celebrate your efforts. I bow to you. Best wishes!

"With instruction from Steve, my scores in tournaments have dropped from the mid 90s to the mid 70s, while my clubhead speed has gone from 90 mph to 115. I'm regularly driving the ball over 300 yards straight now. This is all over a period of around 9 months. Steve really knows what he is talking about!
