Wondering if I should get one of these to feel the right forearm in that correct position http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Callaway-Connect-Easy-Swing-Training-Aid-Right-Left-Handed-GOLFER-/141505636240?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Golf_Accessories&hash;=item20f264a790

I wouldn't really worry about getting that. A bungee cord can do that.

Just to add a couple more points, palmar flexion is what you need because it shuts the club face relative to the swing path quite a bit, and you need more of that. The current swing pattern/sequence t

You might need to strengthen your grip yea, but I can't see your grip at all. Strengthening it will help close to face more relative to the path. If you're not doing it already, you probably want to b

First, let me say, thanks for posting much better videos I'll be really happy when you put up something that has 240 FPS but, like you said, baby steps. OK, to be frank, you're not getting i

Clearly not better, this was with a pause before transition.

Yeah, gotta fold or "soften" that right arm.

Here's a feel for it. Just watch from 2:41-2:51

Check out this drill. Fold the arm to A2, then pivot to A4.

Bit of Fold/Pivot feel today, i think the pivot is ok, just need to get better on A2.

I'm still throwing the club outside though on the downswing....really annoying, why is this?

This (flexion of the right arm), really can't do anything but steepen from here.

Thanks @mvmac I am on the range tomorrow so going to get repping. The extension part I've always struggled with, it's why I swipe out to in right? I need to engage the right arm fexion tomorrow then work on doing the limbo haha. Need to work out how I get the long training aid together. I can't thank you enough for input on my game.

My poor attempt at some extension....

Third is the drill, which I presume is to feel the arms coming down and to have no option to extend (or hit way in front of the ball?)

I think I know why I struggle with flex ion to extension in the ds, my squat pattern with a barbell is terrible haha I started to do some deadlifts this week with even real low weights and I have poor form going into a lift. Hopefully I can work on this. I also have too much lateral shift in the DS so I think I need to work on the weight transition more to get the support for the extension.

Yes, too much upper body lateral shift but you need more lower body shift.

Bit of work today.

Still can't get the extension in the backswing without collapsing my arms at the top and losing the arms in front. This is like drilling a hole in your head when I review the video footage.

Also when reviewing video, when trying to ingrain feelings I had no flexion in the downswing...I thought i'd try and get to flexion on the first downswing move getting weight onto my left side.

Also in the downswing my right leg is flexed at P4 ...should my left hip be getting higher in P4 and the leg straighter?

Extension is non existent still but all of the above is obviously why I can't extend.....

I think you just need to feel it sooner. Create more of that "separation" from the lower center to the upper center sooner.

I'd practice it like this, hold it for a couple seconds at impact. Note how his hips are forward, head doesn't translate forward.

Also in the downswing my right leg is flexed at P4 ...should my left hip be getting higher in P4 and the leg straighter?

You mean the right hip?

Looks fine to me, checkpoint is that you can see some daylight between your legs.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
