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
