This player swings left with an open face to fade the ball. His forearms are even, with no space or window between them, and he’s up on his right toe. His back is straight and his trail shoulder is high and out, while his hands are far away with his elbow away from his hip. This player plays from an open stance — heels open.

The magic 15 inches of a golf swing
There's a bad idea floating around in golf instruction circles that goes like this: The obvious variations in swings that you see when you watch a golf tournament are simply styles. Tiger Woods' swing is different from Sergio Garcia's, and Luke Donald looks different from both of them, but they all are the same at impact. So, according to the argument, all you have to do is know what goes on at impact, then teach from impact backward - nothing else matters.
