When you turn in the golf swing, it’s critical that the hands and arms stay in front of the body.
LEFT: When your body stops turning, your arms should stop swinging. RIGHT: Turn your hips on the downswing, and let your upper body respond.
f your arms keep moving behind you after your upper body is finished turning back, you lose power and accuracy.
Make a centered turn around a stable axis–your spine–and keep a consistent bend at your hips.
Even if your backswing feels shorter, you’re making a tighter turn and building coil with resistance from your lower body. The lower body then leads the full unwinding of the upper body as you move through impact.
You’ll produce controlled power, and that’s a great goal.
