Most amateur golfers lift their arms too vertically in the backswing, creating a steep, up-and-down swing path.

In this video, PGA coach Kerrod Gray and @LincolnLylesGolf break down how this common issue limits your rotation and leads to poor ball striking. By focusing on a more "around-the-body" feel you'll build better depth, and more power, all while shallowing the club for a smoother downswing.
