Control of the
Arms. (Changed
-20/08/2010)
It is absolutely vital to understand that during the down swing
and the follow through movements it is a combination of the hip
movement, the rotational movement of the compact upper body unit
and the shoulder muscles that control the movement of the passive
arms.
The muscles of the arms remain firm throughout the golf swing
but play absolutely no role in the application of power to the club
head.
Therefore to ensure that the above apply there are two action
that are instigated at the address position and once instigated,
must be maintained throughout the complete golf swing:-
1) The elbows must be held as close together as is physically
possible at all times.
2) The biceps of both arms must be held against the chest wall
at all times.
Therefore the rotational movement of the compact upper body
unit push the passive arms/golf club into the back swing movement
- whilst the hips totally resist the movement.
During the down swing and the follow through movement it is
the movement of the hips that initiate the movement of the compact
upper body unit to rotate around the central core of the spine,
thus using a combination of the movement of the hips, the rotational
movement of the compact upper body unit and the shoulder muscles
to literally swing
the passive arms/club head into the contact area.
However as soon as the club head strikes the ball the shoulder
muscles continue to pull the passive arms/golf club through the
contact area whilst the shoulders continue to rotate, an action
that pull the right arm into the fully straightened position.
However as soon as the both arms are straight, the whole body
quickly turns to fully face the target area.
Faults.
Most High to Mid Handicapped Golfers make a back swing without
either of both, keeping the elbows held as close together as is
physically possible, keeping the bicep muscles held against the
chest cavity - failure to perform these two items will result in
the golfer suffering a loss of control over the arms.
