Correct Use of the Right Arm #scratchgolfacademy

So why is this so important to get this trail arm beyond that hip and get the hands more up by the front leg, kind of create that lead arm club relationship? Well, it's applying pressure to the golf balls, the biggest thing. You could hit a golf ball like that, you probably would thin a few, but you could hit it, you wouldn't hit it very far. Have you ever seen a professional baseball player hit the ball like that? Or a tennis player like this? Absolutely not. Grab something, I'm gonna use this bucket, the bottom of your chair, the edge of the door, grab your club, go ahead and set up to this firm object without taking any swing, engage your middle and push those hands up in front of this leg. Don't push them way forward, just up a bit so that you have this kind of an angle and this alignment here, and you see how effectively you can add pressure. And just compare that with this sort of a look, and you'll see there's a huge, huge difference in the way you'll compress the ball, not to mention that when you hit the ball with the shaft leaning, you'll hit the ball before the ground when the club gets to vertical. Let's have a look from here.
