Improve Your Arm Position for Better Swing Release
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Feel how to bring your arms across your body for better alignment
- Practice maintaining proper arm position during the swing transition
- Understand the importance of wrist positioning for squaring the club face
In this drill, you'll learn how to blend your transition into the release by refining your arm position. This is crucial for squaring the club face and improving your swing path with longer clubs.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.160
This drill is don't break my arm and this drill is to help you work on blending
2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:15.320
the transition into the release. So my students get this nice little intimate
3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.740
relationship where I'm putting my hands kind of in different places while they
4
00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:19.800
're
5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.800
trying to make swings. Well one of the ones that's a lot of fun is when they
6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.720
get to about delivery position I like to take my arm and stick it between this
7
00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:33.280
little window here so that I can grab onto this arm and prevent it from going
8
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.760
out that way. What that'll force them to do is bring the arm more across the
9
00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:37.920
body
10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.680
with that palm facing up. Now the only way that they'll be able to square the
11
00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.560
club face is if the motorcycle is already happened. So it ends up looking kind
12
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:46.640
of
13
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.960
like this and you can see how my arm would fit right through. So now this is
14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.640
more important as we get to the longer clubs and you know the driver or the
15
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:01.370
three wood, the hybrids, things like that. This is just another way of looking
16
00:01:01.370 --> 00:01:01.800
at
17
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:06.840
the path of the club and how the arms do it. It's very similar to the concept
18
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:07.080
of
19
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.680
what I talk about in the handle in the bucket video in the transition
20
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.240
section. So when you're practicing at home what I have my students do is put a
21
00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:21.560
ruler across your form kind of like this. This is a little bit heavier than a
22
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.520
ruler so it'll move around more so I can't do fast swings but basically it's
23
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:32.320
going to be parallel to my form. And so what I can do is I can take a little
24
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:36.240
position movement type swings where I'm just kind of going through slow motion
25
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:40.080
and trying to create as much space as I can or trying to get the feeling of
26
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:40.240
this
27
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.120
right arm underneath my left arm. Now yes this left arm is going to be rolling
28
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:46.280
or
29
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.150
supinating through the shot but compared to where it was it set up it's going
30
00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:51.240
to
31
00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:55.920
be more pronated when you're making contact at least with the longer clubs.
32
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.040
So it'll end up looking kind of like so and then that roll or that supination
33
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.200
is
34
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.480
going to happen after I've made contact with the golf ball or just starting
35
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:06.720
just
36
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:10.440
before but happening as I'm making contact with the golf ball allowing me
37
00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:16.840
to finish in this good arm extended position. So if you tend to get this arm
38
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.720
away from you if you tend to get the arm away from you more out here then when
39
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:25.360
you come through that'll tend to have a little bit more of the elbow pointing
40
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.840
behind you which is great for a little halfway edge but it's terrible for a
41
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:35.080
driver. So this movement of getting this right arm this right form underneath
42
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:35.280
the
43
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.920
left and not breaking my arm that's in the middle helps with this path which
44
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:40.960
will
45
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.320
help shallow out your swing from the forearms and help create that ideal path
46
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:50.520
that we're trying to get. So you can practice this at home to get the feeling
47
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.920
of these arms doing this little flattening move that I talk about during
48
00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:57.720
transition and then all you have to do is add the motorcycle and you're pretty
49
00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:02.440
much in business and I'll give you a clear mental kind of library of what you
50
00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:06.200
can work on the next time you go to the range.

11
00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.560
club face is if the motorcycle is already happened. So it ends up looking kind
12
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:46.640
of
13
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.960
like this and you can see how my arm would fit right through. So now this is
14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.640
more important as we get to the longer clubs and you know the driver or the
15
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:01.370
three wood, the hybrids, things like that. This is just another way of looking
16
00:01:01.370 --> 00:01:01.800
at
17
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:06.840
the path of the club and how the arms do it. It's very similar to the concept
18
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:07.080
of
19
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.680
what I talk about in the handle in the bucket video in the transition
20
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.240
section. So when you're practicing at home what I have my students do is put a
21
00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:21.560
ruler across your form kind of like this. This is a little bit heavier than a
22
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.520
ruler so it'll move around more so I can't do fast swings but basically it's
23
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:32.320
going to be parallel to my form. And so what I can do is I can take a little
24
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:36.240
position movement type swings where I'm just kind of going through slow motion
25
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:40.080
and trying to create as much space as I can or trying to get the feeling of
26
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:40.240
this
27
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.120
right arm underneath my left arm. Now yes this left arm is going to be rolling
28
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:46.280
or
29
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.150
supinating through the shot but compared to where it was it set up it's going
30
00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:51.240
to
31
00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:55.920
be more pronated when you're making contact at least with the longer clubs.
32
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.040
So it'll end up looking kind of like so and then that roll or that supination
33
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.200
is
34
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.480
going to happen after I've made contact with the golf ball or just starting
35
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:06.720
just
36
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:10.440
before but happening as I'm making contact with the golf ball allowing me
37
00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:16.840
to finish in this good arm extended position. So if you tend to get this arm
38
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.720
away from you if you tend to get the arm away from you more out here then when
39
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:25.360
you come through that'll tend to have a little bit more of the elbow pointing
40
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.840
behind you which is great for a little halfway edge but it's terrible for a
41
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:35.080
driver. So this movement of getting this right arm this right form underneath
42
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:35.280
the
43
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.920
left and not breaking my arm that's in the middle helps with this path which
44
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:40.960
will
45
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.320
help shallow out your swing from the forearms and help create that ideal path
46
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:50.520
that we're trying to get. So you can practice this at home to get the feeling
47
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.920
of these arms doing this little flattening move that I talk about during
48
00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:57.720
transition and then all you have to do is add the motorcycle and you're pretty
49
00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:02.440
much in business and I'll give you a clear mental kind of library of what you
50
00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:06.200
can work on the next time you go to the range.
