With the club in your normal grip in two hands, place your feet together, with the ball slightly ahead of you on your lead side.

Position the club head so that it hovers over the ball out there in front of your lead foot.

 

Then, in one motion, begin your backswing while moving your back foot to roughly shoulder width apart.

This will transfer your weight to your trail leg as the club heads towards its furthest point in your backswing.

When it is at that furthest point backwards – some people like to feel their lead shoulder kiss their chin - step out slightly with your lead foot like a cricketer hitting a cover-drive or a baseball player hitting a pitch.
