What do you think is the most important aspect of the swing that is not commonly emphasized? The 3 imperatives are not eligible for nomination.

I think footwork and dynamic balance (I think they go hand-in-hand) are often overlooked. I don't think there is any reason for a player not to have excellent, professional quality footwork in their swing. It's easy, just a matter of practice.

Two of the best as far as footwork go in my opinion are Mac O'Grady (look at historicgolf.com) and Steve Elkington.

By the way, if your heel doesn't lead your toes (face-on view) in the first part of the downswing, you probably don't have professional quality footwork. If you are off your heel during the transition of your swing, again, you probably have some room for improvement.

I always felt balance was a by-product of good mechanics. Important, yes indeed. Most over looked- Start Down.
