Right Arm. (Changed - 12/05/2013)


It is absolutely vital that during the back swing and the down swing movement the right arm plays a totally passive role and it is only at the precise moment the club head strikes the ball, that the right arm is activated so that it is forced into the fully straightened condition.


At the address position the right arm must be in a slightly bent condition with the uppermost part of the right upper arm held against the upper body. As the back swing movement is performed, the right arm will eventually be forced to fold, thus performing two functions:-

1) It causes the arms to move independently of the shoulders at the very end of the back swing movement.

2) It forces the forearms to rotate in a clockwise motion.

 

However as the shoulders rotate back to the original address position, the right arm begins to straighten so that by the time the shoulders return to the original address position, the right arm be in the original address position of being slightly bent condition the forearms will rotate back to the original address position.

Therefore the right arm should be held in the fully bent condition for as long as possible as the down swing movement is performed, the hands must not return to the original address position until the club head makes contact with the ball, and the club head must not make contact with the ball until the shoulders are parallel to the target line.

However at the precise moment the shoulder return to the original address position, the right arm is forced into the fully straightened.
