4. The Glide and turn: The putter starts the kick off from the left leg to the rear, his spine almost parallel to the ground and the right foot is flat on the ground
5. Release: As the shot leaves the fingers, the body weight is now on the left leg for balance, the right leg side and arm are fully stretched following the quick action of the delivery and release
