Question
Hellp John,
I was just wondering is a big leg lift in your swing good because ive noticed ive been doing it.

Answer
Hayden,
It doesn't matter if you take a big or small step.  The step can be either as long as you get it down in time, have balance, don't move forward with it, and able to rotate.  A shorter step is easier to maintain because of less movement but if you are comfortable with the big step and it is working for you than stick with it.

Thank You,
John Priest
