Left
Side of the Body.-
(Changed - 01/12/2011)
Upper Body Unit.
During the back swing movement you must
hold the elbows as close together as is physically possible, the
right elbow tucked against the waist and the biceps of both arm
must be held against the chest cavity thus holding the upper body
unit firmly together as a very compact unit.
(This applies during the back swing and the down swing movements.)
However as you make the back swing movement,
you must focus on the left arm to push the compact upper body unit
to the end of the back swing movement.
( You must keep the right arm in
a firm but passive condition throughout the back swing movement.)
During
the down swing movement, as the hip movement force the passive compact
upper body unit to rotate around the central core of the spine,
it is important to understand that whilst upper body unit rotates
into the down swing movement you have to judge the moment when to
add extra power to the left arm in order to pull the club head through
the contact area at speed, thus automatically pulling the right
arm into the fully straightened position -- as the whole body turns
to fully face the target area.
(Top class golfers physically force
the right arm into the fully straightened position but for now simply
allow this happen automatically.)
LOWER BODY
During the back swing movement the lower part of the body resists
the rotational movement of the compact upper body movement.
However during the down swing movement it is the left leg and
the left hip that force the hips to rotate towards the target area
thus forcing the compact upper body unit to rotate around the central
core of the spine.
