In a perfect golf swing, the arms are in close contact with the upper body and cooperate effectively. In the swing, the arms start almost at the same time as the shoulders. In the rest of the swing, the left arm is neither too tightly attached to the front chest nor excessively stretched away from the body.

However, such effective coordination of the arm and body is not easy to accomplish. Most golfers form a swing arc that is either too narrow or too wide, which ultimately results in a lack of continuity in the shot. . British PGA professional coach John Hoskison (John Hoskison) provides some effective suggestions for golfers, which will help you maintain the connection between your left arm and front chest during the swing, thereby forming a sustainable swing.

Clamp the upper arm and chest

Preparation position:

Point your elbows to your hips, and keep your elbows pointing to your hips during the body rotation when you take off;

If you set your wrist with both hands prematurely, your right arm will begin to fold, causing your left arm to move across your chest, and eventually your left arm will be too close to your body;

If the swing arc is too narrow during the upswing, it is difficult for the golfer to create space during the downswing to complete a continuous shot.

Extend your arms straight when starting

"All-in-one" starter:

In order to form a stable swing arc, an integrated start is very important;

In a good preparation position, the bottom end of the cue grip should point to the spine, and as the lever progresses, the bottom end of the grip should still point to the spine;

In the one-piece lever, the left and right arms are kept straight and there is no hand movement.

Rotation of the shoulder drives the rotation of the hips, keeping your right leg steady on the upper post.

Upswing:

Don’t deliberately stand up your wrists. As you go on the pole, your wrists stand up naturally. If the wrist does not stand up automatically, pay attention to check the right leg. If the right leg moves horizontally or retracts too much in the upper pole, it indicates that the hip is too rotated, which will cause the wrist to stand up too late and the swing arc formed is too wide . Therefore, the right leg should be allowed to limit the excessive rotation of the upper body, and the wrist should be turned over in time;

As the wrists stand up, the upward kinetic energy of the club will pull the arms to the apex of the upperswing. Note that the right elbow is still pointing to the right hip;

If the left arm is brought too close to the front of the chest, the right elbow will be forced to bend, causing the right elbow to rise;

If the left arm is turned to the outside of the body too much and away from the body, the connection between the left arm and the chest will be lost, and the arm may not be able to keep up with the movement of the body when downswing.
