Step 2 of Bill Owens method: grip lightly, look at horizon, find balance, let arms hang, feel club head weight, combine with past/future pivot, keep finish 7 seconds, let club fall through gravity. Practice hitting balls without trying to hit them. - Grip must be light, same pressure throughout swing. - Look at horizon, not the ball. - Let the club fall through gravity; do not force the swing. - Maintain balance and hold finish for 7 seconds. Common mistakes: Trying to hit the ball instead of letting it be on the club path; tensing arms; looking at the ball.
