Keep the right heel planted for as long as possible in the downswing , until the momentum of the followthrough pulls it off the ground. Hold a balanced finish.
Why the left heel must rise
We have seen that a really full body turn is necessary to permit the club to reach a correct position at the top of the swing.
Lifting up the left heel to get the club to parallel forces your hips beyond this natural position.
When the "SHOULDERS" stretch properly in the backswing, they form a coil that creates tension like a rubber band.
