So I'm going to show you how to do this here, getting through impact in an ideal, passive, body-orientated way. And it really feels like, with this little technique I'm going to show you, it feels like you're cheating to be able to get this. So let's show you how to cheat to be able to get this really nice movement going through the golf ball. And what is it? It is, my main focal point on these swings are my right arm staying bent. So going through the golf ball with this bent right arm. So why does that feel like you're cheating and getting this downswing super easily from it? Because when that right arm stays bent going through the golf shot, especially through the hitting area, it can straighten after, but we want it to be bent through the hitting area. It's because it forces pretty much everything we want to see to happen. So it forces us to have good rotation, because to be able to get through the golf ball with a bent right arm, you have to rotate. That's why we see with all these top players I'm showing on the screen now, we see them have a bent right arm at impact. So that's one thing that helps with tremendous club face control is having that good rotation. Bent right arm forces that to happen, because if you straighten the right arm, rotation has to stall out to be able to make room for that right arm by backing out of the way. So brilliant one, rotation, awesome. Right side bend forces it to happen, because of course, if the right arm is bent going through the golf ball, the right side has to bend to be able to get that club down towards the ground. As you can see, that also opens up the body massively. So again, if I straighten my right arm instead, my right side has to stay very tall, has to stay very vertical, again, to make way for the right arm to straighten through the shot. So absolutely awesome. Passive club face is the next one. So this is a byproduct of both of those, rotation and right side bend, is when we're keeping that right arm bent going through the shot, means we're gonna have a good right side bend, good rotation, club face will nicely be stable and passive going through the golf ball. It will just be a byproduct. So that means you're gonna be hitting straighter shots more consistently. So if we can do the opposite of straightening that right arm going through the shot, you're gonna naturally, like we said, stall out the rotation, you're gonna get taller. So that means your hands and arms have to pass through quite hard. That means you're gonna get a lot of wrist action going through the golf ball, a lot of rotation of the club face. So not a great one to do. Again, if you hit tons and tons and tons of golf balls, maybe you have to make it work. There are some pros who still have that little bit of the right arm straightening going through the golf ball. Here's the thing, you can give a professional any movement and they'll learn to hit it to a target because they're top, top players. Guys that are watching YouTube videos are not the best players in the world. So we need a more consistent move that funnily enough, the best players in the world are more adopting now anyway, like they used to back in the past. Look at Sam Snead here. Right arm looks pretty bent to me going through the golf ball. Look at his body movement, pretty good. So let's talk about some drills. So there's two drills I really like for doing this. One is one I've talked about a lot on my channel and that is the preset rotation drill. So that's getting into a rotated impact position where our hips are open, our chest is open and our right arm is bent and we're making sure that right side is down towards the right hip, right shoulder down towards the right hip. Weight 90% on that left side. And then what we do, we swing back and we swing through keeping that exact same structure of that right arm as we spring back through. Doing that a lot will get this movement into your golf swing. It's an absolute brilliant one. So again, just run through it. Weight 90% on the left side. Open up the hips as much as you can. Open up the chest as much as you can. Right shoulder down to right hip. You can see now the right arm is really nicely bent. Now what I'm gonna do is swing back, swing through. Keeping that same structure. Results in some awesome ball striking that keeps that right arm bent and it's all a matter of repetition from there. So that's a really good one. Here's another really cool one. So this drill I'm about to show you is one that was my very first drill for rotation that I was ever given when I was the student and not the coach. So this is hitting balls with your right arm only. So we've all kind of played around with this before, hitting balls with one arm and some golfers will be great with it, some won't be. And the golfers who won't be good at doing this drill would be straightening the right arm, who can't hit good shots with one arm hitting it with the right arm. So to be able to hit the ball, you have to rotate from here. So you've gotta keep that right arm nice and soft and bent to be able to hit good golf shots doing it. So keep that right arm nice and soft and keep it bent. And to make good contact, you're gonna have to do it. Because if I straighten the right arm, it's gonna be extremely hard to hit that golf ball. So again, keep that right arm bent, nice and soft, turn through, keep that right arm bent the entire time and you'll be able to hit some good little shots doing that. And of course, what do we do from there? We get that feeling to it, we get enough reps in, replicate that exact same feeling, but with two hands on the golf club. And then we're gonna have that very nice bent right arm. And then when we slow it down, we're gonna see ourselves in these brilliant positions, that good right side bend, good rotation, good passive club face, because this has stayed bent. So it does feel like you've got a little cheat code to getting through the golf ball really nicely. It's, again, a thing that we see that good players do that this move is almost a by-product of everything. If we rotate well, side bend well, of course, what's gonna happen? Right arm will be bent. But we can almost reverse engineer it a little bit and do the right arm bit first and everything just starts to fall into place. Brilliant one for guys as well. Because you out there who, let's say, you try to rotate more, you shank the golf balls because that right arm is still firing. So often, we'll see guys trying to rotate and what are they doing? Straightening the right arm. They go, oh God, rotating makes me fat the golf ball. It makes me shank the golf ball. Makes me just hit terrible contacts because your right arm is doing this. Keep it bent, turn through that shot. So, if you enjoyed this video, click that like button. If you want more golf instruction just like this, hit a subscribe button, hit the bell button too.
