Skyou, I want you and everybody who focuses on they're right arm connection to listen to this; Focus on keep your upper left side connected and the right will automatically do what it should do. Forcing the right arm close to the body causes problems with your release and a too flat swing plane. Next time you go to the range try this: At address, assuming you're a righty, feel that your upper left arm is connected to your outer left pec (chest) and then turn your body back and through while feeling this connection with your upper left side. Your swing will feel shorter and tighter so start with a short iron and make 3/4 swings. When you get your arms and body swinging together correctly you will feel effortless power and more consistency with your shots. Also, notice how your right arm automatically moves correctly. Let me know if that works. If you would like more info on a simple swing I'm teaching my students right now visit http://golfswingconnection.com Alan Hipps

Chas, Pushing and slicing are sometimes caused by your body outracing your arms on the downswing. Try this next time you go to the range: At address, assuming you're a righty, feel that your upper left arm is connected to your outer left pec (chest) and then turn your body back and through while feeling this connection with your upper left side. Your swing will feel shorter and tighter so start with a short iron and make 3/4 swings. When you get your arms and body swinging together correctly you will feel effortless power and more consistent drives and irons. Let me know if that works.

donkba, Try to feel a correct swing everytime during practice instead of just hitting balls. Here's a great way to practice: At address, assuming you're a righty, make sure you feel your upper left arm is connected to your outer left pec (chest) and then turn your body back and through keeping this connection. Your swing will feel shorter and tighter so start with a short iron and make 3/4 swings. When you get your arms and body swinging together correctly you will feel effortless power. Let me know if that works. If you would like more info on a simple swing I'm teaching my students right now visit http://golfswingconnection.com . I also have some great drills for both on the course and the range. Alan Hipps

gbk, Make sure you keep your arms and body swinging together and nsync. One of the hardest things to get back after a layoff is timing. If you practice keeping your body and arms swinging together, it will be easier to find that timing. When you go to the range next time try this: At address, assuming you're a righty, make sure your upper left arm is connected to your outer left pec (chest) and then turn your body back and through.
