A position power hitters and great ball-strikers have in common is an easy, athletic setup. Relaxed muscles produce speed and fluidity. Tight muscles restrict the body’s range of motion. Tension in the arms is a common problem among amateurs. To combat it, to lighten their grip pressure and to develop a "soft-arm waggle."
This gentle pumping of the elbows in and out (toward the chest and back out) breaks any tension running through your upper body.
Watch old videos of Snead and Hogan, and you’ll see they did this beautifully. It’s the best way to alleviate arm tension so you can swing the club freely.
