Right Arm.
(Changed - 17/12/2008)
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 and 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 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.)
During the down swing movement you must try to keep the right
arm in the fully bent condition for as long as possible so that
the rotational movement of the forearms is prevented 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 muscles of the left
shoulder pull the passive arms through the contact area, thus forcing
the right arm to adopt the fully straightened position whilst simultaneously
the right shoulder
is forced to rotate under the chin.
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.
