Left and Right side of the body.- (Changed - 06/04/2011)


Upper Body Unit.

Regardless of tightly you hold the elbows together, the muscles of the right shoulder/right upper arm must remain in a firm condition at all times, 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.)

This is to ensure that the right shoulder muscles maintain total control of the upper body unit during the back swing movement, but importantly, these muscles must be held in this condition throughout the complete golf swing.

However as you make a back swing movement 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 passive condition throughout the back swing movement.)

However, 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 it is the right shoulder/right upper arm muscles that force right arm into the fully straightened position as soon as the club head makes contact with the ball, thus pushing the club head through the contact area as the whole body turns to fully face the target area.


LOWER BODY

During the back swing movement the lower part of the body remains passive to 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 whilst the right shoulder/right arm delivers the power.
