Right Arm.
- Master - (Changed

At the address
position the right arm must be in a slightly bent condition
with the uppermost part of the right upper arm held against the
upper body.
As the back swing movement is performed, the right arm will
eventually be forced to fold, thus performing two functions:-
1) It forces the arms to move independently of the shoulders
at the very end of the back swing movement.
2) It forces the forearms to rotate in a clockwise motion.
However during the down swing movement, as the shoulders rotate
back to the original address position, the condition of the right
arm is automatically reversed so that by the time the shoulders
return to the original address position, the right arm will return
to the slightly bent condition and the forearms will rotate back
to the original address position. ( You do not need to consciously
perform this action.)
Therefore during the full golf swing movement, you must try
to keep the right arm in the fully bent condition for as long as
possible as you perform the down swing movement, so that the rotational
movement of the forearms is delayed from returning to the original
address position,thus delaying the flailing action of the golf club
for as long as possible.
Therefore the right arm should be held in the fully bent condition
for as long as possible as the down swing movement is performed,
the hands must not return
to the original address position until the club head makes contact
with the ball, and the club head must not make contact with the
ball until the shoulders are parallel
to the target line.
However at the precise moment the shoulders
return to the original address position, the shoulders must stop
rotating, albeit for a milli-second whilst the muscles of the left
shoulder pull the passive arms into the contact area thus counteracting
the inertia effect upon the arms, and then whilst the shoulders
remain parallel to the target line, the muscles of the left shoulder
pull the passive arms through the contact area, thus forcing the
right arm to adopt the fully straightened position.
As you become more proficient as a golfer you may be able to
assist in straightening the right arm at the precise moment the
club head makes contact with the ball.
But this is an advanced technique, so before you introduce this
action you must put in a lot of practice.
