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.
