Condition of the arms. (Changed - 06/05/2010)


If you wish to play very good golf it is absolutely vital that the arms are seen as an integral part of the compact upper body unit at all times.

The only way to move the arms during the down swing and the follow through movement is by keeping the arms as an intergral part of the compact upper body unit and use the rotational movement of the compact upper body unit to swing the club head into and through the contact area.

During the set up the elbows must be pulled as close together as is physically possible, thus forming the upper body unit into a very compact one piece unit and also the biceps of both arms must be held tightly to the chest cavity.

By holding the upper body in this condition it allows the golfer to use the rotational movement of the compact upper body unit to totally control the movement of the golf club - but importantly, once the upper body has been set in this condition it must remain in this condition for throughout the complete golf swing movement.


Back Swing.

Therefore as the Compact upper body unit is rotated to the end of the back swing movement, the golf club is moved to the top of the baback swing position.

Down Swing.

During the down swing it is a combination of the the rotational movement of the hips, the rotational movement of the compact upper body unit the pulling of the right elbow close to the body and the left shoulder muscles that literally swinging the club head into and through the contact area.

However the down swing movement must be controlled so that the club head strikes the ball at the precise moment the shoulders return to the parallel to the target line.

 

As I have said, the down swing movement is all about using a combination of the hip movement, the rotational movement of the compact upper body unit, the pulling of the right elbow close to the body and the left shoulder muscles to literally swing the club head into and through the contact area - rather than trying to physically use the muscles of the arms to perform this task of swinging the arms/golf club into and through the contact area
