Forearms.
- Master - (Changed

Most golfers force the forearms to rotate in a clockwise motion
during the back swing movement.( Another description is that
the golfer allows the hands to twist in a clockwise motion as the
back swing is performed.) However simply by trial and error I
have found that by totally resisting the forearms during the back
swing movement it forces you to keep the left hand square to the
ball position until the right arm is forced to fold thus automatically
causing the forearms to rotate
During the back swing movement the left shoulder forces the
shoulder/arms-unit to rotate around the central core of the spine
thus pushing the passive arms to the end of the back swing movement,
but this action distorts the original shape of the upper body unit.
Therefore at the end of the back swing movement the arms will
be slightly across the front of the chest, thus causing the right
arm to fold, but importantly, as the right arm folds, the
forearms automatically rotate in a clockwise motion -- therefore
at no point in the back swing movement should the forearms be consciously
rotated.
Similarly, as the shoulder rotate back to the original address
position, the right arm gradually returns to the position of being
slightly bent which automatically rotates the forearms in an anti-clockwise
motion and thereby returning the club face to the original address
position - therefore d you do not need to consciously rotate the
forearms during the down swing movement .
However as you perform the down swing movement, it is vital
that you try to keep the right arm in the fully bent condition for
as long as possible so that the rotation of the forearms is delayed
until the precise moment you begin to flail the club head into the
contact area.
However it is absolutely vital that you hold the shoulder/arms-unit
firmly togther as a very compact unit throughout the complate golf
swing movement, thus retricting the rotational movement of the forearms.
