In today's video article you'll learn how to find the right amount of relaxation and firmness in your strokes as well as how to find the right amount of rotation and linear extension in your strokes.

While at first glance these two dilemmas seem to be quite different, you will see that they are very much compatible.

You could also be over-rotating and swinging too much across the ball or you could be pushing the ball too much in a straight line without much body rotation.

This week's video article gives you two simple ideas that help you achieve that ideal mixture.

What I am explaining in this article is how I feel the transition of relaxation to firmness in my strokes and how I visualize the swing path.
