I’ve been reading about the physics of the golf swing and something interesting caught my attention. Right hand dominent players struggle keeping the right arm from dominating the swing. Earth shattering I know. But the right arm should only brace the swing at at the end provide form power.

So I decided to take some left arm only swings. Im stunned. Everything from my posture, to my arm position at the top, to even my follow thru is much better. Much more on plane. The kicker…. at the top, I’m driving more with my legs, which puts me naturally into more of a squat position and the shaft automatically flattens out a bit and sits right on plane as I turn thru.

I’ll need to swing a lot more like this, but at least I’ve narrowed down a massive issue with my swing. My right arm and hand.
