When your client reaches the halfway point of the backswing, a line extended through the clubshaft should:

Create a 45 degree angle with the target line
Create a 90 degree angle with the target line.
Parallel the target line.
Parallel the front knee

Describe why the stability of the left leg, in right handed golfers, is so critical at impact:

As the golfer approaches impact their body weight shifts progressively onto the left leg, making it the anchor from which the trunk drives the torso and arms.
Stability in the left leg drives the weight shift to the right leg, as the golfer approaches impact, making the left leg the anchor the trunk uses to drive the ball.
At impact, the stability of the left leg will determine ball flight and the stability of the right leg will determine distance
The stability of left leg and the right leg, at impact, are equally important.
