<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/08/golf-master-tips-correcting-slice-adressing-ball.html" target="_blank">Correcting a Slice, Addressing the Ball, Grip, and Tempo </a>- Correcting a sliceTroubled by that recurring slice in your game? Correcting a slice just takes a little strategy. Here are some time-tested tips to help you find the right golf swing to eliminate that sneaky culprit causing your problem.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Addressing the Ball</a></b><br />
While there are many issues that can cause you to slice your ball, some are much more common than others. One of the biggest issues happens when you address the ball.<br />
<br />
You should have a square stance at address. Your feet, hips and shoulders should be in line with the target. Your left foot should be directly under your left shoulder. If your left foot is too far forward, the club face will most likely be open at impact and your ball will fly right.<br />
<br />
Your shoulders and hips must be square as well. If they’re not, the ball will not fly straight and true.<br />
<br />
<b>Grip</b><br />
The next step is to check your grip. A lot of new players grasp the club too tightly. I find myself doing the same thing at times. Gripping too tightly can cause the club head to open as it strikes the ball. Again, this will make the ball fly to the right. Conversely, if the grip is too loose, the head will wobble at impact and that, too, can lead to slicing or hooking. It’s a matter<br />
<br />
Along with firmness, your grip on the club should be neutral. This means that when you look down at your grip you should be able to see two or three of your left-hand knuckles. If you can’t see any knuckles at all, you probably have an improper grip. When your hands come back into the hitting zone, they’ll rotate to a neutral position, causing the face to open.<br />
<br />
Try rotating your hands—not the club, just your hands—until you see a couple of knuckles. Use this new grip to hit several balls. When correcting a slice, remember that minor grip adjustments can go a long way. Keep working at it until you find the grip position that is just right for you. Then remember it!<br />
<br />
<b>Tempo</b><br />
Swing tempo is another crucial element. Do you have a tendency to try to use your arms as a power source to get some extra yards? A lot of golfers do, but it almost never works. As you reach the top of your backswing, if you allow your hands to take over and lead your downswing, you’ll find that they come down with everything else following, and the club face will almost undoubtedly open.<br />
<br />
Your swing should be smooth and relaxed from beginning to end. Try not to jerk the club once you get to the top of your backswing. If you let your hips start the downswing, everything else will follow.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
One last useful tip to correct your slice is to check your divot. If you see that it’s pointing too far to the right, this may be your problem. Again, check your posture at address and make sure your feet, hips, and shoulders are in line with the target.<br />
<br />
Correcting a slice just takes some time to find the one or two things you may be doing wrong. As you work through the possible causes, you’ll eventually find your solution. Then your enjoyment of this great game will soar to new heights.

<b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/08/golf-master-tips-how-to-driving-golf-ball.html" target="_blank">Golf Master Tips How to Driving a Golf Ball</a></b> - Hitting off the tee intimidates a lot of golfers. Here are some great tips on <b>driving a golf ball</b>: how to improve your ball control and get more distance.<br /><br />Hitting longer drives is the goal of nearly every golfer. Of course, all the distance in the world won’t help you if you can’t strike it accurately.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">How to Driving a Golf Ball</a></h3>
The single most important key to hitting both a long and accurate shot is a proper set up. When you address the ball, you need to remember to get into a correct athletic stance. Your knees should be flexed and your feet approximately shoulder width apart.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">
Hitting the Ball Farther</h4>
We’re not talking about how hard you swing. No, the key here is figuring out how to properly coil and uncoil your body. This is very difficult if your knees are not flexed.<br /><br />This is crucial. Flex your knees. Standing too tall will cause you to lose distance and force in your swing.<br /><br />Make certain the Ball is played forward. This is an important item. When you are standing the right way, the ball should be located closer to your front foot. Your club will be more likely to get the ball into the air if you keep it ahead in your stance.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">
Perfect Back Swing</h4>
Another tip: your back swing doesn’t start in your hands. It starts in your hips. You must turn your hips properly if you’re going to accomplish your optimal potential distance. As your hips turn, your hands, arms and upper body will follow.<br /><br />Your hip turn is just as important when you reach the tip of your back swing. Let your down swing begin with your hips, followed by your hands. Once you have the correct rotation of your hips mastered, you will observe a significant improvement in your distance.<br /><br />When it comes to tips for accuracy, one of the most important is making sure your hands follow the club head at impact. Make sure to keep the club face square as it hits the ball; Otherwise, the ball will curve.<br /><br />If you regularly hook or slice your ball, check your grip. The club face won’t be square when it hits the ball if your grip is too weak or too strong. For the best result, your grip should just be neutral; Your club will be less likely to be open or closed when you strike the ball.<div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7wlX0KPz4wnMS27z9pH1gC-zkjK60udAfX7tU-rlJVfS2Tqw86Dgx1O_1O5Rac0sxG_M5QCUT-fS3FE-E0DOdEzfxQQfoJw6uKHRTVeVpNfn1dK44bkp3Hla02UCY8tdp6VwlVfvgP9YD/s1600/Driving+a+Golf+Ball.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pro GOlf Tips" border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7wlX0KPz4wnMS27z9pH1gC-zkjK60udAfX7tU-rlJVfS2Tqw86Dgx1O_1O5Rac0sxG_M5QCUT-fS3FE-E0DOdEzfxQQfoJw6uKHRTVeVpNfn1dK44bkp3Hla02UCY8tdp6VwlVfvgP9YD/s400/Driving+a+Golf+Ball.jpg" title="Golf Master Tips How to Driving a Golf Ball" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
One more tip: make sure to keep your stance square during your set up and swing. There may be times when you need to open or close your stance by moving your forward foot up or back, but a square stance (both feet in line with the target) is generally best. This is likewise true of your shoulders and hips. You’ll see your accuracy get better by keeping your body square to the target.<br /><br />You can as well try out one of the newer drivers. The new 460 cc clubs weigh more than traditional drivers, and have a larger head. Don’t neglect to practice if you try a new driver. These clubs do need you to learn new skills, and you can only gain these by spending some hours on the range.

<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-to-hit-your-fairway-woods.html" target="_blank">How to Hit Your Fairway Woods</a> - One way to really help your golf game is to learn <b>how to hit your fairway woods</b>. They’re certainly not the most commonly used club in your arsenal, but in certain situations, your fairway woods can be lifesavers – if you’ve taken the time to learn to use them. That means you need to learn the <b>mechanics of the swing</b>, and then practice.<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">How to Hit Your Fairway Woods</a></h3>
Following are some excellent tips to help you as you learn to hit your <b>fairway woods</b>: <br /><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>These clubs are different than your irons. You’ll achieve comparable distance, but the way in which you approach your swing is quite different. Playing your long irons your quite often take a large divot. When you hit your fairway woods, you do not want a divot. </li>
<li>Line up your feet with your target keeping them approximately shoulder width apart. Adjust your stance if you need to play a draw or fade. The ball should be played forward, more or less in line with left foot. If you’re a left handed golfer, it would align with your right foot. Make sure your arms remains extended, and you keep your spine straight. You’ll also want to allow some flex in your knees. </li>
<li>If you find yourself in the rough, you can legally tap the head of the club behind your ball as long as you don’t make contact with it. That will tamp down the grass between your club head and ball. </li>
<li>Your forward arm should be kept as straight as possible throughout your swing. If you turn your hips during your back swing and then through your down swing you’ll generate plenty of power for your shot. Keep your head down. </li>
<li>Don’t “scoop” the ball. Just get a clean swing and hit, and the club loft will take care of getting the ball into the air. You don’t have to clobber the ball either. A lot of golfers learning to hit your fairway woods will use as much force as possible to hit their ball. That can be a mistake.</li>
<li>Instead, concentrate on getting a smooth and controlled swing, and keeping it on the correct swing path. Do this, and you’ll get the ball up into the air and heading toward the target. </li>
<li>Think about your club use. Once you’ve learned to hit your fairway woods it can be tempting to use them in the wrong situations.</li>
<li>If you find yourself a good distance from the green, and you’ve got trees in the way, the fairway wood is probably not the right club. Your irons can get you back in play, rather than trying to bash the ball through the trees and onto the green. Knowing when to hit your fairway woods is as important as knowing how to use them. </li>
</ul>
Practice, practice, practice. That’s the only real way to learn these clubs. Go to a driving range and use them. Observe the distance you get with each one, and work on cleanly hitting the ball. </div>

<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-to-hit-golf-ball-straight-off-tee.html" target="_blank">How to Hit the Golf Ball Straight Off the Tee</a> - There’s a rule of thumb that says, “the longer a club is, the more difficult it is to master.” That’s why the driver is one of the most difficult clubs to use properly.<br /><br />Every golfer wants to<b> <a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/search/label/Golf%20Tips%20%26%20Trick" target="_blank">hit the golf ball straight off the tee</a></b>, and it’s not impossible to learn. Here are some tips to help you learn to drive a golf ball straight.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hit the Golf Ball Straight Off the Tee</a></b></h3>
Your goal when driving the ball is to get it into the air without a lot of backspin, with a low trajectory and enough power that it will continue to roll once it lands. If you’re able to accomplish each of these, you will see a great improvement in your game.<br /><br />Leverage is an extremely important part of your drive, and as you practice you’ll realize that it’s important throughout your entire swing. For proper leverage, you must have your head behind the ball all the way from your set up to impact.<br /><br />You also need to know that power and distance doesn’t come from your arm strength, but more from club head speed. Have you noticed that, more often than not, when you try to hit the ball as hard as possible you end up with a poorly hit ball? That’s because your speed and power must come from your legs and hips, not your arms.<br /><br />With a driver, you want to keep your swinging plane shallow (or low). With other clubs, you’ll swing in more of a high arch, but not with your driver.<br /><br />Another important rule when trying to<b> hit the golf ball straight</b> is to let your hands lead your club head at impact. You’ll hear this referred to as “letting your wrists break.”<br /><br />As you swing, make sure to follow through. Don’t abruptly stop once you make impact with the ball. This is a common mistake of some golfers.<br /><br />Don’t grip the driver too tightly. A moderate grip is all you need and will keep your swing smooth. Think about “whipping” the ball as you swing, rather than just chopping at it, as many golfers do.<br /><br /><br />If you find that you tend to slice the ball a lot, try slowing down your down swing, then accelerating through the ball. You may be coming down too hard and too quickly, and that causes you to lose the proper swing path. Check your grip also. A proper grip is important too. Check that you can see two or three of your knuckles when you look down at your grip. If not, you’re setting yourself up to slice the ball.<br /><br />If you’re hooking the ball, check your grip too. If you see more than two or three knuckles, you’re going to get a sever hook because your grip will change at impact.<div>

Finally, as you’re learning to <b>hit the golf ball</b> straight, make sure you are not pushing or pulling the ball. You can tell by checking out your divot. If it points to the left or right, you’ve found you’re culprit – your body isn’t aligned properly. This is a tip that applies to teeing off and also to hitting off the fairway.<br /><br />Try to implement these tips as you play and see if you notice an improvement in your game. And remember, what’s the very best tip for how to hit your golf ball straight? Practice, practice, practice.

<b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/08/golf-master-tips-hitting-draw-shot-tips.html" target="_blank">Hitting a Draw Shot Tips</a></b> - First off, what is a “draw shot.” Quite simply, its when your ball flies from right to left – like a hook shot but it’s a planned and controlled shot. It may sound difficult, but hitting a draw shot is actually easier than you think. And it can be an important technique, because being able to control your ball’s flight path will help you lower your score and master the course.<br /><br />A lot of the pros spend hours and hours working on this shot because it can dramatically increase the distance of their drives. When hit correctly, a draw shot will fly lower and roll farther on the fairway. Use these tips to practice your draw shot, and as you master it, you’ll see a noticeable improvement in your game.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Golf Master Tips; Hitting a Draw Shot Tips </a></h3>
<br />You should us a mid-iron for hitting a draw shot. Most players like the 6-iron for this. When hitting a draw shot several things must happen during your swing.<br /><br />First, you need a strong grip on your club. This is done by slightly rotating your hands to the right. Don’t turn the club shaft, only your hands.<br /><br />Second, make sure to close your stance a bit during your set up (or address). This will give your body room to fully turn and execute the inside to outside swing path properly.<br /><br />Remember to let your hands do the work here. When your club head strikes the <b>golf ball</b>, your right hand will naturally roll back to the correct neutral spot and the club face will close a bit. Again, a strong grip here will be very helpful.<br /><br />Keep your head down until you’re all the way finished with your follow through. That’s the proper form when hitting a draw shot. If done correctly, the ball will start on a path heading toward the right and then when it reaches its apex it’ll veer back left. It should stop its curve around the center point.<br /><br />Important: if the ball curves immediately left, you’re shot is more of a hook. You’ll need to keep practicing to get the right touch.<br /><br />Check your divot. It should be straight in line or a little to the left of the target line. It shouldn’t be to the right.<br /><br />The key is to practice until you develop a feel for the shot. If you find that you still can’t quite get it, check your grips. If they are larger and softer, it will make it more difficult to get the desired control and action.<br /><br />You’ll hit a lot of hooks at first. This is natural. Don’t be discouraged. The technique described here – rotating your hands to the right – takes a lot of practice. The best advice is to make incremental adjustments. Hit a few balls, then make additional small adjustments until you get it down.<div>

Once you feel fairly confident using your mid-irons for this shot, try the same technique with your driver. It’s best to learn it with your easier clubs first. Starting with the driver would be extremely frustrating.<br /><br />Do not give up. Once you’ve developed a feel for the mechanics of the shot, it will make your game much better.

Have you got a persistent slice whenever you hit the soccer ball? Here are five tips to <b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/08/golf-master-tips-five-tips-to-improve-golf-slice-spinned.html" target="_blank">Improve Golf Slice Spinned </a></b>completely.<br />
<br />
Essentially the most common causes of any slice is a great incorrect set-up. You should make sure you line your whole body up properly on the target line. This means your current left shoulder ought to be aimed right in the target. If your shoulder is slightly out of collection, your shot is likely to slice to the suitable.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Golf Master Tips, Five Tips to Improve Golf Slice Spinned</a></h3>
Verify your grip. If you can’t see a couple of knuckles on your current left hand (for proper handed golfers), or in the event you see more when compared with three, you provide an incorrect grip. See if changing your grip fixes your condition. The other action to take is make guaranteed your grip is just not too tight. Lots of golfers try to hold on to their clubs having a death grip, that is wrong. It restricts your ability to release at effect. Conversely, holding the team too loosely can cause your club visit shift or shake at impact, leading to your ball to help fly errantly away from course.<br />
<br />
A common motive that golfers portion their ball and send it flying off on the right is that they don’t fully turn their hip when they swing through your strike zone. The club deal with must strike your ball squarely for it to fly directly. If your hips are certainly not fully turning through impact, you’ll find it virtually impossible to help squarely hit your ball. To correct this problem, you’ll need to teach yourself to finish off your swing high. That will lead to your hips to show properly.<br />
<br />
Slow lower your swing. A lot of times, golfers will try to swing fast and hard for getting greater distance. What the results are is that their own hands get in advance of their swing and their club deal with opens up in impact, causing your errant shot. Things you need is a sleek, controlled stroke.<br />
<br />
You’ve seen it before, possibly a zillion instances, but it’s well worth repeating again. Keep the head down until eventually you’ve completed your current swing. A large amount of golfers lift their own head right in impact. This is really a bad habit and usually ends up with a poor shot.<br />
<br />
Usually, a player will probably lift his visit see where their ball is certainly going. It’s just the curiosity thing. They probably don’t even be aware that is what they’re performing. If you constantly slice your soccer ball and can’t locate what’s causing the item, have a buddy watch you as you hit. They’ll manage to tall if you’re not keeping the head down.<br />

There so many <b>golf tips </b>you can read to guide improving golf swing. But this article will tell how to smartly <b>perfecting golf swing</b> and<b> increasing drive power. </b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Your Body Supports Your Golf Swing</a></h3>
The <b>golf swing </b>is arguably one of the most difficult athletic movements to perform in sport today. It requires you to draw the club in a sequential order, on a specific path, with the correct time. Error in order, swing path, or timing can result in a poor outcome.<br />
<br />
These biomechanics of the<b> golf swing are executed by your body</b>, and in order to successfully deliver the clubhead to the <b>golf ball.</b> Certain physical components within the body are needed.<br />
<br />
High levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power are required from your body in order to execute the mechanics of the <b>golf swing efficiently</b>. If the body is lacking in any one of these physical components the ability to <b>execute the golf swing </b>may be compromised.<br />
<br />
Make certain in the development of your golf swing, developing your body around the golf swing is part of your equation for success.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Increasing the Power in Drives</h4>
Increased power in your golf swing usually equates to more distance on every shot in your game. Increased power in the <b>golf swing </b>is translated to clubhead speed. The faster at which the clubhead is moving when it contacts the ball, the more distance you should have on your tee shots.<br />
<br />
Increased power outputs within the golf swing are contingent upon two separate yet connected entities. Number one is your <b>golf swing mechanics</b>.<br />
<br />
The "coiling" and "uncoiling" of the body creates power within the mechanics of the golf swing. Increase the efficiency at which you perform the <b>mechanics of the golf swing</b>. The greater likelihood an increase in clubhead speed will occur.<br />
<br />

Second in the development of more <b>power in golf swing</b> is your body. Power in relation to your body is the ability of the body to create the greatest amount of force in a short amount of time. Improve the rate at which your body develops power within the mechanics of the golf swing, an increase in clubhead speed and distance in your drives can occur.

Golf Master Tips, How to Create Lag - There is 3 simple point you can apply to create lag. If a golfer cocks his wrists at the top of his backswing, he needs to get a way to maintain most of that wrist tool until his hands are nearby the impact area.<br />
<br />
This delayed uncocking is cures call “lag. ” Lag is answerable to a large section of a golfer’s strength, and many people struggle with a lack of distance simply because they cannot understand how lag is done.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Golf Master Tips, 3 Simple Point to Create Lag</h3>
<b>Relaxed Wrists</b><br />
Most players are told to use a light grip whenever swinging a club. Some even know that this light grip is supposed to help them develop more clubhead swiftness, but they are not aware of how. You would like to grip the club lightly simply put wrists will stay relaxed and become an unpowered hinge. In his ebook “Understanding the Swing, ” teacher Manuel de chicago Torre writes that will “wrist action will likely be an involuntary a reaction to the coiling activity (backswing) and uncoiling activity (forward swing) of the club. " Tight hand and forearm muscles ensure it is difficult for the particular wrists to hinge properly; by keeping the particular wrists relaxed through the swing, they can move freely and enable the club to swing as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
<b>Change of Course</b><br />
If you are fitted for clubs, you know your current clubfitter spent extensive effort matching your swing to some shaft flex. While having swing, the the whole length gets “loaded, ” which means that it resists your current swing by flexing inside opposite direction of one's downswing. This power is released when the club straightens, or maybe "unloads, " from impact. This loading is accomplished by way of delayed change regarding direction—that is, you start your downswing with all your arms and body prior to clubhead has finished the backswing. Among this is the particular motion you make with a flyswatter; your hand starts down as the business end of the swatter is still upgrading. This action will cause your wrists in order to cock and stay cocked until you will be ready to swat the fly. The change of direction with a golf swing works the same way; it is the loading of the particular shaft that will keep your relaxed wrists in the cocked position until late inside swing.<br />

<br />Take Dead Aim<br />Not just for your feet but also knees, hips, shoulders and club face. Most right-handed golfers aim right but this doesn’t always mean the ball will go right as often their swing will compensate for poor alignment. Check your alignment every practice session for the rest of your life!<br /><br />Create a Solid Stance<br />Create a stance which is wide, solid, stable and balanced. <b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/06/perfect-golf-swing-how-to-get-golf-grip.html" target="_blank">Build your golf swing</a></b> from the ground up.<br /></div>
<div>
Develop Perfect Posture<br />Focus on great posture by tilting at your hips and not at your waist.<br /></div>
<div>
Make Friends With Your Grip<br />Practice holding the club in the correct position even when you are not <b>playing golf</b>. Take a club into the house and every time you walk past it hold it for 30 seconds and soon your hands will be married to the club correctly.<br /></div>
<div>
Start Your Down Swing With Your Hips<br />Nearly every down swing fault is due to starting it with the upper body rather than ‘bumping the hips’. Imagine skimming a stone or throwing a baseball and how the lower body starts the movement with the upper body following.<br /></div>
<div>
Make Range Sessions Count<br />Learn your trade on the driving range before you head for the course. Each range session should include 50 balls and should last at least 30 minutes with two practice swings for every ball. Practice with purpose.<br /><br />Use Plenty Of Loft<br />Practising with a short, lofted club encourages better posture and cleaner ball striking. Everybody gains confidence in seeing a nice high ball flight. Too little loft encourages new golfers too use a destructive scooping action to get the ball upwards.<br /></div>
<div>
Leave The Driver In The Bag<br />Start with your practice sessions with your pitching wedge and move through your bag of clubs mastering each one as you go. Avoid using a longer and more difficult club until you are consistently and confidently hitting the shorter ones. Many golfers would be better to avoid the driver for at least the first 18 months of playing!<br /></div>
<div>
Try A Par 3 Course<br />Par 3 courses are great to develop your understanding of the game and your course management skills. You’ll spend less time looking for <b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/04/golf-master-tips-how-to-select-good-golf-ball.html" target="_blank">golf balls</a></b> and you’ll begin to hone those all-important short-game skills</div>

<br />
At this advanced stage in your <b>golfing</b> life, you'll always be on the hunt for ways to improve. It's easy to fall prey to nitpicking and head games. You might notice yourself swearing in the tee box when you hit an imperfect drive, rather than soaking in the sunshine, birdsong and camaraderie of the course.<br />
<br />
When you realize you've become your own worst enemy, remember the<b> golden rule of golf: relax</b>.<br />
It's possible to focus so much on your technique that you psyche yourself out and ruin your entire game.<br />
<br />
Many of the greats, such as Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson, had unconventional swing styles. Bobby Jones turned his lower body too much, lifted his left foot too high, and came down too quickly on the <b>backswing</b> [source: Jensen]. It worked for him.

<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/06/perfect-golf-swing-tips-closing-deal.html">Perfect Golf Swing Tips, Closing the Deal</a> (<b>Golf Master Tips</b>) - You've finally made it to the green, and the hole is a mere few feet away. Now, you just need to get the ball there.<br />
<br />
Start by adjusting your grip. You no longer need the interlocking grip you use to drive. Instead, place your thumbs and index fingers on the shaft of your club so that you can better sense the conditions of your <b>golf</b> <b>swing</b>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/">Perfect Golf Swing Tips, Closing the Deal</a></h3>
<br />
Next, adjust your stance. Stand closer to the ball than you do for a drive. Instead of distributing your weight evenly, you'll want most of your weight, about seventy-five percent, on your forward foot. Finally, keeping your arms straight and parallel to each other, control your swing with small shoulder movements.<br />
<br />
PGA professional Joe Beck recommends two drills to improve your putting game. In both instances, determine how hard you'll need to hit the ball and how to adjust for any breaks or elevation changes in the lay of the land before you take your shot.<br />
<br />
Practice long: In turn, putt three balls toward a hole that is at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) away. As you swing, keep your eyes on the hole, not the ball. This helps you focus on the target and learn to judge distance.<br />

Practice short: Putt three balls toward a hole that is no more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) away. Instead of looking at the target, keep your eyes on the ball and listen for it to fall into the hole.

<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/06/perfect-golf-swing-tips-how-to-solve-sand-trap.html">Perfect Golf Swing Tips, Sand Trap</a> (<b>Golf Master Tips</b>) - The sand trap is yet another fairway menace. Fickle and changeable, a soft, deep trap on your favorite course one week could morph into a shallow, wet creature after a day of high winds and rain.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/">Perfect Golf Swing Tips, How to Avoid Sand Trap</a></h3>
<br />
The lessons you learned maneuvering out of the rough will serve as a starting place for getting out of a sand trap. The stance, wider than normal, and the grip, firmer than usual, are the same. Your choice of club will also be similar; you'll want a club that will give you sufficient loft to clear the edge of the bunker.<br />
<br />
If you are in a deep, soft, angled sand trap, feel free to bury your feet in the sand for balance and make sure the ball is at the head of your stance. Whack the sand under the ball, rather than trying to hit the ball itself. This will send a plume of sand - and if you're lucky, the ball as well - up into the air and over the bunker's edge.<br />

<br /></div>
On the other hand, if the trap is filled with a shallow layer of wet sand, there is no need to dig up so much sand to get the ball out. Strike into the sand a couple inches before the ball as you would on a soft bunker, but instead of scooping up sand, try to hit the ball square on, more like a normal shot.

<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/06/perfect-golf-swing-tips-roughing-it.html">Perfect Golf Swing Tips, Roughing It! </a>(<b>Golf Master Tips</b>) - Power-driven tee shots and well-considered putts are the crown princes of a well-played game of golf.<br />
<br />
However, for a player who revels in the strategy of the game, the fairway is where all the action is. In the fairway, you get to practice many shots that, if properly executed, can redeem a lousy tee shot.<br />

<br />
The dreaded rough, scourge of beginning golfers, has ensnared many a player. It's essential to modify your swing to navigate out of this tricky terrain. The tricks you'll learn through trial, error and practice will make your <b>swing</b> repertoire more flexible. First, choose your club wisely. You'll want one that will give you maximum loft, such as a nine-iron or a wedge.<br />
<br />
Avoid hacking and chopping at the ball, which will gain you mere inches and guarantee you a bogey - or worse - on the hole. Instead, spread your feet wider and grip your club a bit more firmly than you normally would.<br />

This will help you power through the tough grass. Stand a bit closer to the ball than normal and <b>swing the club</b> so that the head hits the ball at a sharp angle. This cuts down on the amount of grass clogging the surface between the club and the ball and also, hopefully, chips the ball sharply up and out of the danger zone.

To correct this tendency, place your leading arm (left for right-handers) behind the elbow of your trailing arm (right for left-handers) and swing your club back until the arm pivots at a 90-degree angle. At that point, pause and add the leading arm before following through with the swing. If done correctly, you should begin to add distance to your drive.

<b>Eric Johnson</b> demonstrates some great drills that will help you improve the rhythm (and therefore the balance) of your swing in his video "<b>Fairway Woods Swing Rhythm</b>" on PGA.com:<br />
<br />
Count it Out<br />
Your second grade "one-and-two-and-three-and-four-and" rhythm skills will serve you well with this exercise. Begin by repeating in a slow, steady rhythm "One-one-thousand, two-one-thousand."<br />
<br />
Once you've got a steady beat, practice swinging back on one and down on two. Simply counting through the rhythm of your swing will really help you become aware if you're rushing part of your swing.<br />

Place two <b>golf balls</b> on the ground one directly behind the other. Now, slip your iron between them and swing.

By now the sheer number of physical things to keep in mind -- pointed thumbs, interlocked hands, foot distance, weight distribution and more - probably has you reeling. Luckily, the mechanics of a solid two-part<b> <a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/06/perfect-golf-swing-how-to-get-golf-grip.html">golf swing</a></b> are pretty simple, in theory. <div>
<br />On the <b>backswing</b>, pivot your shoulders toward your spine, shift your weight to the front of your back foot and hinge your front arm up into a 90-degree L-shape. </div>
<div>
<br />On the <b>downswing</b>, release your arm in its L-shaped lever toward the target as you shift your weight to your front foot in one, smooth balanced motion. <br /><br /><br />Remember how Einstein's theory of special relativity made Newton's law of gravity seem quaint? To <b>golf professionals</b>, the idea that a swing consists of a simple back-and-down pendulum action is similarly facile. Entire books have been devoted to the golf swing.</div>

A beginner, on the other hand, can often find himself missing the ball entirely and, if he's really unfortunate, spinning himself around with such force that he winds up on the ground. To avoid this unfortunate comedy of errors, give proper consideration to your stance before you take a whack at the ball.<br />
<br />

<br />
Align thyself: Picture a set of railroad tracks running from the tee box to the green. Your body is aligned on the inside rail. Your ball is on the outside rail, which runs in a straight line from the tee box to the pin.<br />
<br />
Spread thy feet: Your feet should be shoulder width apart, with your weight balanced on the balls of your feet.<br />
<br />
Posture, please: Flex your knees slightly, bend at the hips and keep your spine straight. No slouching!<br />
Relax: Loosen your death grip on your club. You want to hold the club securely without squeezing too tightly. You also want to keep your body relaxed and not rigid.<br />

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Vardon grip</b>: Probably the most popular and common golf grip, the Vardon or "overlapping" grip is achieved by fitting the pinkie finger of the trailing hand between the index and middle finger of the lead hand.</li>
<li><b>Interlocking grip</b>: The next most common grip works better for people with less powerful forearms, weak wrists or smaller hands. With this grip, the hands are literally locked together by curling the pinkie finger of the trailing hand around the index finger of the lead hand. The downside of this grip is that, with less finger pressure controlling the club, the handle can sometimes drift against the palms.</li>
<li><b>Ten finger (baseball) grip</b>: Beginners, players with joint pain and those with small hands sometimes find the ten finger grip the most comfortable. To achieve it, simply lock the pinkie finger of the trailing hand close against the index finger of the lead hand. [Source: <a href="http://lamannagolf.com/Tip.aspx">Lamanna</a>].</li>
</ul>
<b>The perfect grip</b> is key to<b> improving golf swing</b>. A correct grip will help you impact the ball solidly on the club face. It will also give your wrists the proper hinge, which will improve your power [source: <a href="http://lamannagolf.com/Tip.aspx">Lamanna</a>].<br />

However, if your goal is to <b>improve golf swing</b>, the first step is to pay attention to the way you hold your club.<br />
<br />
Stand up, let your arms hang loosely at your sides and look at your hands. Notice how they are angled naturally you can easily see the knuckle on your index finger and part of the knuckle on your middle finger.<br />
<br />
By duplicating this "neutral hand position" when you <b>grip golf club</b>, you'll more consistently and naturally square the clubface when you swing, increasing your chances of impacting the ball where you should, at the center of the club head.<br />
<br />
Gently bring your top or lead hand (left for right-handers, right for left-handers) to the club and hold it lightly in place with your thumb pointing down. You should still be able to easily see the knuckles of your index and middle fingers.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/06/7-steps-to-perform-perfect-golf-swing.html" target="_blank">7 Steps to Perform the Perfect Golf Swing</a> (<b><a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Golf Master Tips</a></b>) - If you need to lear how how to carry <b>golf swing</b> or how to <b>improve golfing performance </b>- this is the correct article you must read.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Position Your Self In Line with the Flah #Step1</b><br />
When approaching your ball, look out for a nearby leaf, small stone or broken tee which is in a direct line between the flag you are aiming for, and your ball. Imagine a line between these 2 reference points and put your club face square to it. Now stand parallel to this imaginary line. You are correctly orientated to begin the <b>perfect golf swing</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>Grip Your Left Hand Correctly #Step2 </b><br />
Making sure your club is naturally on the ground behind the ball, place it in the left hand so that the shaft lies across the top of the forefinger. It should fit under the heel of the palm, to make space for the stability of the club. Make sure that the little finger is around the grip so that there is no room for the club to move.<br />
<br />
<b>Tips! #Step3</b><br />
Make sure that the thumb is straight on top of the shaft with a natural grip. You should be able to see 2 or 3 knuckles of your hand. This is the correct left hand grip.<br />
<br />
<b>GripYour Right Hand Correctly #Step4</b><br />
With your right arm hanging naturally, shake hands with the club and settle into the grip. Fold your right hand over the left thumb. The thumb of the right hand on the club should be pointing to the right shoulder.<br />
<br />
<b>Grop the Back of the Club Correctly #Step5</b><br />
There are 3 different ways to grip the back of a <b>golf club</b> – choose whichever feels better for you. The Vardon or Overlapping Grip is by far the most common method used in golf. Place the little finger of the right hand between the index finger and middle finger of the left hand.<br />
<br />
The Interlocking Grip is where the right little finger and the left index finger are locked together. This is a lot easier for those with small hands as it allows the fingers around the grip. This is the second most common grip.<br />
<br />
Finally, the Baseball Grip is used by people and children with very small hands in order to get all the fingers around the club.<br />
<br />
<b>Adopt the Correct Stance #Step6</b><br />
The proper stance will allow perfect balance and poise throughout the swing. To start, the feet should be apart at the same width of the shoulders for a mid iron shot. The feet, the knees, the hips and the shoulders should all be parallel to the target.<br />
<br />
The right foot should be placed straight forward from the body, at a right angle to the line of flight, so that when you swing the weight will come on the inside of the foot to be able to push away and do the follow through.<br />
<br />
The left foot is slightly open as this makes it easier for the body to follow through the <b>golf swing</b>.<br />
The upper torso should lean forward slightly from the waist, and the knees slightly bend to allow flexibility. This position will make your arms hang comfortably in front of your body, to be able to swing more freely.<br />
<br />
There should be roughly a hands width between your body and the club. The weight of the body should be on the balls of the feet - not on the heels. Addressing the ball, both arms are straight but relaxed, and the left shoulder is higher than the right due to the position of the hands.<br />
<br />

How to Perfect Golf Swing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
To ensure that your shoulders are in the correct position, first place the club in the centre of your chest and lean forward from the waist, unlocking and bending the knees. Now dip your right shoulder slightly until the club touches the inside of your left leg. This is the correct shoulder position.<br />
<br />
<b>Perform the Final Swing #Step7</b><br />
Now we have the correct orientation, grip and stance we are ready to finally perform the swing. You might find it useful to perform the waggle at this point. This movement can be an important part of the swing as it will ensure that your weight is evenly distributed on the feet. During the waggle, your upper body and shoulders should not move. Everyone has their own way of using the waggle - most importantly it will relax your body in anticipation of the actual shot.<br />

<b>Golf Master Tips</b>, <a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/05/professional-golfer-hitting-and-right-arm-swing.html" target="_blank">Professional Golfer Hitting and Right Arm Swinging</a> - In this section, I am going to describe the difference in biomechanics/mechanics between hitting and right arm swinging at every stage of the swing. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Note that my expressed opinions merely reflect my personal approach, which - although I perceive my personal approach to be a biomechanically/mechanically sound approach - does not represent any particular golf school's ideology.<br /><br />A TGM hitter usually starts the swing with an impact fix alignement address position. In this position, the right wrist adopts a certain amount of right wrist bend (dorsiflexion) that depends on the position of the ball relative to low point. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Professional Golfer Hitting and Right Arm Swinging</a></h3>
<div>
The degree of right wrist bend is then "fixed" at address, and a TGM hitter will usually maintain that same "fixed" amount of right wrist bend throughout the backswing and downswing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The clubshaft will have forward shaft lean at address - the degree depending on ball position relative to low point. A TGM hitter will often have the right forearm in-line with the clubshaft (as seen from a DTL view).<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEjJQNym7DltPyP5xCbzdAF_xBwahmhp8H26q8NsQCNt8ZOG6-2agKW1flGJxQnwbvLfTefY8N74lZ-njT8VAhD-9r-dwHvkbBeWfOT7SVW7QGR4qU95fTY79zdFHXau4uokSgnSExWDc77FgtLn0vD5L9dfdEZyyWhNIg=" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">
Right arm swinging </h4>
A right arm swinger will usually prefer to hold the hands centralised between the legs in a traditional/standard manner. The right wrist will be slightly dorsiflexed at address - the amount depending on the position of the ball/hands relative to low point. The further back the hands are at address, the smaller the degree of right wrist dorsiflexion at address. The clubshaft will usually be approximately perpendicular to the ball-target at address. It is not biomechanically necessary to have the right forearm straight-in-line with the clubshaft at address (as viewed from a DTLview).<br /><br />A TGM hitter will use the right forearm takeaway. However, he will not utilise a takeaway swivel action during the takeaway and he will make no attempt to swivel the left hand so that the back of the left hand/clubface becomes parallel to the inclined plane during the mid-backswing. The clubface will appear to be facing the ball during the takeaway, and it will be less open to the clubhead arc during the mid-backswing. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhtQ9zu8kPe99Opm-Jljrw-e-uLERob4q9C5lsBeJhqRDFM6GC4LXrKLaA7JIrdq15wR1tUbRE5_zNEg8PBreALoxmTyR3rZJxPgTLofdfxnKMBSudkHPuPxQuTQqq9bHo7SFYDo6YMgLJv1-3s6HN1nz4C=" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scott (TGM hitter) at the end-takeaway position - capture images from his swing video </div>
<br />The desired endpoint for the hands at the end of the backswing is a positional location roughly opposite the right shoulder - this position is called the top-of-the-backswing. A TGM-hitter should not attempt to get the clubshaft parallel to the ball-target line by the end of the backswing by incorporating an additional quarter-turn rotation of the left arm to the end-of-the-backswing position (a position adopted by many left arm swingers). A TGM-hitter should distinctly "feel" like he is loading the right elbow at the end of his backswing.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgCfHy5iUUKch4NqdpjkAZ84I0J4otdsfGlgEC2PAI7RW8FngwIv76gna4KNeRleIulPFj3tdfxY8IZ5ALX0IRZYA07p_bGvBIVaE_Iuwy3fhnZJgSVYMe8w3l8M7NYau2m2Szsj6VzTQlL1zGJevYbBHzIPRdQrA=" width="228" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scott (TGM hitter) at the top-of-the-backswing - capture image from his swing video</div>
<br />A right arm swinger will also preferably use a right forearm takeaway (which I described in detail in my <a href="http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/arm.htm">How to Move the Arms ,Wrists and Hands in the Golf Swing</a> review paper) because it will allow him to keep the clubshaft on-plane throughout the backswing, while allowing him to avoid any unnecessary right wrist upcocking movements. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, he should utilise a takeaway swivel action (like a left arm swinger), so that he can get the back of the flat left wrist/hand parallel to the inclined plane in the mid-backswing. Because he is utilising a takeaway swivel action, the toe of the club will be pointing straight-up by the end-takeaway position. The desired endpoint for the hands at the end of the backswing can be the top-of-the-backswing position (like a hitter) or slightly beyond that point (depending on his level of torso and left scapula flexibility). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A right arm swinger does not need to "feel" that he is loading the right elbow, because he is not going to be releasing PA#1 actively in a straight line thrust action (like a hitter). The right hand should end up in a positional location that is biomechanically compatible with an efficient "stone skipping action", and a stone skipper would not attempt to get the right hand too far behind the right shoulder by the end of his right arm loading action. <br /><br />The right forearm flying wedge must be roughly at right angles to the left arm flying wedge at the end-backswing position in both hitters and right arm swingers.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">
Downswing</h4>
A TGM hitter is going to power the downswing primarily with a right arm straightening action (active release of PA#1). However, the "right arm straightening" action must be delayed to the mid-downswing, because the right shoulder (launching pad for the release of PA#1) must first get closer to the ball before PA#1 is released - otherwise the TGM hitter will run-out-of-right arm before reaching impact. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During the early downswing, the primary requirement is a pivot-action that will move the right shoulder downplane, so that the right shoulder can get closer to the ball. A TGM hitter will usually adopt an active pivot-action that starts with a hip bump (small amount of left-lateral pelvic shift secondary to re-weighting the left heel), and that hip bump is soon followed by an active upper torso rotation that moves the right shoulder downplane. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A TGM hitter will usually avoid an over-active right shoulder downplane thrust movement that will over-accelerate the left arm away from the chest wall in an uncontrolled manner. I know of no biomechanical imperative that mandates that a hitter must use an active pivot action, and a hitter can choose to use a reactive pivot action (as described in the right arm swinger's downswing section) if it works better for him. <br /><br />A TGM hitter will start his right arm/forearm thrust action from his loaded right elbow position (which is moved downplane during the early downswing). A TGM hitter should "feel" that he he is thrusting his right hand in a straight-line thrust action towards the ball (or aiming point located near the ball) when he actively releases PA#1 (actively straightens the right elbow with a very active right triceps muscle contraction). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The right arm straightening action must be sufficiently efficient, so that the right hand can apply a constant push-pressure at PP#1 and PP#3 throughout the mid-late downswing in a drive-loading manner. The constant drive-loading of the left hand and clubshaft during the mid-late downswing means that a TGM hitter is actively releasing PA#2 and PA#3 via his active "right arm straightening" action. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There should be no centrifugal release of the club in a TGM hitter's action, and a TGM hitter should be actively driving the clubshaft towards impact - like swinging an axe-handle using a radially-directed thrust force against the back side of the axe handle. <br /><br />A TGM hitter's straight line thrust action of his hands towards the ball should be perceived to be a cross-line procedure (relative to the ball-target line) and a TGM hitter will often "feel" that he directing his straight line thrust down-and-out in the direction of his aiming point (and therefore directed slightly to the right-of-the-target). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The endpoint for the straight line thrust action is not impact, but the end of the followthrough (when both arms are straight). The right elbow should still be slightly bent at impact. During a hitter's straight line thrust action, the right forearm is being driven towards the ball, and the right forearm pushes the right palm against the left thumb, which then causes the left arm/hand to be pushed towards impact. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is no release swivel action of the left forearm/hand (no left forearm supinatory movement) in the mid-late downswing, because the hitter doesn't incorporate a takeaway swivel action in the backswing, and he therefore cannot use a release swivel action in the downswing.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Ken Perry's downswing action - capture images from a swing video</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Ken Perry, a hitter, uses a hitter's typical punch motion of the right elbow in his downswing. Image 1 shows Ken Perry entering the mid-downswing phase of his downswing action. Note how he has kept his power package intact, while the right right shoulder has moved downplane, thus delivering his right shoulder (launching pad for the release of PA#1) to a downplane position that is closer to the ball. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Note that the right elbow has reached a position alongside the right hip, and this position is called the punch elbow position. A hitter does not usually actively drive the right elbow to a position in front of the right hip - pitch elbow position - like a swinger. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Note how PA#1 releases in the mid-late downswing (images 2 & 3) and note that the right arm has not completely straightened by impact. Note that Ken Perry has an open pelvis at impact (image 3) but his right heel is still planted on the ground - and that fact is merely a reflection of the significant degree of flexibility that he has in his right hip joint and right lower limb, and there is no biomechanical advantage to keeping the right heel flat on the ground at impact. Many hitters have already rolled their right ankle over by impact, and their right heel may also be slightly raised off the ground if they have a significantly open pelvis at impact. </div>
<div>
<br />Consider Lee Trevino's swing - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDpnbkHm8Oo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDpnbkHm8Oo</a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
Note that Lee Trevino's pelvis is significantly open at impact, and note that his right heel is slightly raised off the ground. <br /><br />A TGM hitter will usually maintain his "frozen" right wrist bend ("fixed" degree of dorsiflexion that he adopted at address) unchanged throughout the entire downswing and early followthrough. <br /><br />At impact, the right forearm should be on-plane behind the clubshaft.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Scott (TGM hitter) posing at impact - capture image from his swing video</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Note that Scott (a hitter) has his right forearm on-plane behind the clubshaft at impact. Note that he has maintained his "fixed" degree of right bend (dorsiflexion) throughout the downswing, which ensures that he has a flat left wrist and forward shaft lean at impact.<br /><br />A right arm swinger can start the downswing with an active pivot action (like a left arm swinger) or he can use a reactive pivot action.<br /></div>
<div>
A reactive pivot action is a pivot action where the pelvis (lower body) reacts to movements happening above waist level. A right arm swinger can choose to start the downswing with an active upper body/right arm movement - active downplane thrust motion of the right shoulder and active adduction motion of the right upper arm towards the right side of the torso (so that the right elbow is driven towards a pitch position in front of the right hip) - and he will then allow the pelvis (lower body) to react to the active downplane thrust motion of the right shoulder/right upper arm. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This reactive pelvis phenomenon works particularly well for a golfer who has zero/little hula hula flexibility, because he has a stiff spine that allows the right shoulder's downplane thrust action force to be transmitted down the rigid vertbral column in such a manner, that it shifts the lowest lumbar vertebra, and therefore the pelvis sacrum, left-laterally by 1-3". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That small degree of left-lateral pelvic shift movement (hip bump motion) is just sufficient to allow the golfer to re-weight the left leg, and increasingly brace/straighten the left leg. If the lowest lumbar vertbrae move 1-3" left-laterally, then the degree of rightwards spinal tilt is being increased if the head is kept stationary - a phenomenon called secondary axis tilt - and secondary axis tilt makes it easier for the right shoulder to continue to move downplane (rather than roundhouse) during the remainder of the downswing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This reactive pivot action may not work well for a golfer who has a large degree of hula hula flexibility, because the right shoulder's downplane thrust action may not be transmitted down the spine to the lower body, and the pelvis may remain static during this active upper body action. If the pelvis remains static, then the golfer may end up performing an "upper body dive" motion where the right shoulder moves too horizontally and that roundhousing right shoulder movement will likely drive the hands/clubshaft OTT. A golfer, who has a large degree of hula hula flexibility, may be much better suited for a left arm swinger'sactive pivot action, which is the standard/traditional swing action used by the majority of professional golfers. <br /><br />Different "right arm swing" golf instructors will describe the reactive pivot action in different ways.<br /><br />Consider this swing video presentation by Kris Moe, who teaches the Gary Edwin right arm swing methodology -<a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/krismoe/videos/7/">http://www.viddler.com/explore/krismoe/videos/7/</a><br /><br />Note how he talks about the "feeling" of the arms swinging across the front of the body while the lower body remains quiet, and how he "feels" that the lower body's pivot action responds to the swinging arms.<br /><br />Tom Tomasello describes his reactive pivot action differently - see chapter two of reference number [9]. <br /><br />Tom Tomasello states that a golfer should "feel" that he is swinging his clubshaft past his left thigh without there being any prior active movement of the pelvis left-laterally towards the target.<br /><br />I think of the reactive pivot action differently. I previously stated that a golfer can acquire rightwards spinal tilt at address by shifting the pelvis to the left, thereby straightening the left side of the torso slightly, and this address-postural motion should give a golfer a "feeling" that the left leg is already pre-braced at address. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That "feeling" of the left leg being braced is enhanced when the right shoulder's downplane thrust action (that initiates the downswing) transmits a "force" down the spine that pushes the pelvis left-laterally by 1-3" against a pre-braced left leg. If the left leg is increasingly braced as it becomes increasingly weighted during the early downswing, then it will resist any left-laterally directed force, and that "force" will be deflected and it will cause the left buttocks toautomatically/ naturally/ secondarily move backwards in the direction of the tush line, and also slightly rightwards away from the target (left hip clearing action).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In other words, I believe that the "left hip clearing action" will happen automatically/naturally/secondarily without any need for an active muscular contraction of the hip girdle muscles (as occurs in Tiger Woods swing, when he initiates the downswing with an active pelvic motion). You can see my "left hip clearing action" happening automatically/passively when I demonstrate the right arm swinger's swing action in my swing video lesson - I am making no deliberate/active effort to perform a "left hip clearing action", and I have exactly the "same feeling" of experiencing an efficient reactive pivot action when I perform a "stone skipping" action. <br /><br />Each individual right arm swinger should experiment with an active pivot action, and a reactive pivot action, in order to determine which pivot action works best for him.<br /><br />Presuming that a right arm swinger chooses to use a reactive pivot action, then the first downswing move is a simultaneous i) active downplane movement of the right shoulder and ii) an active adduction movement of the right upper arm towards the right side of the torso so that the right elbow moves to a pitch position in front of the right hip. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These two simultaneous movements allows a right arm swinger to keep the power package intact, and also maintain the right elbow bend unchanged while the right elbow moves to its pitch position in front of the right hip. The inert left arm is being passively driven forward by push-pressure from the right palm at PP#1. At this time-point, the golfer should look like Ben Hogan in image 5 in this next composite photo.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="72" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEj-uJaEFrFbALL_np0TlXJ1c0-jlBEIo9KswluKO0g-yjOF6naydyXGjfFi6Kn_ybnWuGhYFKtvplRw3RBWS8-cFmvTaCEcVdMEqALQmETTqqfMlHCuVb0hekn0U6UXEVP7pIlHLRJ0IDieF1xU6sucuMbbirIS=" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ben Hogan's early-mid downswing - capture images from his swing video</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
When a right arm swinger reaches the delivery position (mimicing Ben Hogan's positional alignments in image 5), the right arm should already be adducted alongside the right side of the torso, the right elbow should be nearly reaching its pitch location in front of the right hip, the left arm should be moving down-and-out towards impact secondary to active push-pressure at PP#1, and the right elbow should still be bent at roughly a 90 degree angle.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The pelvis should have shifted a few inches to the left and the left buttocks should be moving back towards the tush line so that the pelvis becomes slightly open (relative to the ball-target line) - due to the biomechanical phenomena happening during the reactive pivot action (as previously explained). <br /><br />When the right elbow reaches its pitch location, it is leading the hands. From this time-point onwards, the right elbow will actively straighten and the right forearm will paddlewheel towards impact. The fulcrum point for the right forearm paddlewheeling action is the right elbow, which remains at its pitch location in front of the right hip during the remainder of the downswing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The right arm straightening action (due to active contraction of the right triceps muscle) should occur with enough isotonic force, so that it allows the right palm to maintain extensor action via push-pressure at PP#1 while also ensuring that the right hand keeps up with the previously pushed left hand during the release swivel phase of the downswing (from the 3rd parallel to impact).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, the isotonic force cannot be excessive because an excessive right arm straightening force may interfere with the passive/centrifugal release of PA#2 and PA#3. The "feeling" of the right arm straightening action should "feel" identical to the "feeling" of the right arm straightening action that happens when skipping stones.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A stone skipper will initiate a right arm throw action at the start of the right arm throw action that will drive the right elbow to its pitch location in the first phase of the throw action. Then, a stone skipper will "feel" his right elbow straightening as the right forearm is thrown forward toward the target. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The "feeling" should be that the right forearm is being thrown by the initiating active right upper arm adduction throw action (combined with the active downplane thrust-motion of the right shoulder) - and it should "feel" like the right forearm is being "whipped" towards impact. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The "feeling" of the right forearm being thrown in the late downswing should "feel" distinctly different to the "feeling" that a TGM-hitter will experience when actively/forcefully straightening the right elbow in a straight line thrust action towards the ball, because in that hitter's scenario the right forearm motion will be much more forcefully directed down-and-out towards the ball in an active straight-line thrust manner, so that the right hand can drive-load the clubshaft all the way into impact. <br /><br />A key point that a golfer needs to understand is that swing power is generated in a right arm swinger's swing by the right arm generating an active thrust force (push-force) in the early downswing - between image 1 and image 3 in the Hogan photos, and when the left arm passes the 9 o'clock position (which marks the end of the early downswing and the beginning of the mid-downswing) the active thrust action should already be rapidly diminishing, and PA#4 should start releasing. In other words, the active thrust action of the right arm throw action happens while the right elbow is still bent at roughly a ninety degree angle. This biomechanical feature distinguishes right arm swinging from hitting (where right arm swing power is mainly generated in the mid-downswing due to the active straightening of the right elbow). <br /><br />A right arm swinger should "feel" the left arm swiveling into impact due to the passive release of PA#3 - like a left arm swinger. However, compared to a left arm swinger, the left arm may be traveling slower because it is being pushed by the right arm (rather than being catapulted forward at a fast speed by an active pivot-drive action - as occurs in a left arm swinger's downswing action). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Therefore, a right arm swinger may "feel" that the right palm is actively assisting the left hand's PA#3 release roll-over action - as the right forearm paddlewheels into impact during the late downswing. In a left arm swinger's release swivel action, the supinating left forearm will rotate the left hand into impact automatically/naturally, and a left arm swinger does not usually require any assistance from the paddlewheeling right forearm/hand to ensure an efficient release of PA#3. <br /><br />At impact, the right forearm should be on-plane behind the clubshaft and the right wrist should still be bent (as occurs in a left arm swinger's action).<br /><br />The low point of the clubhead arc will be opposite the left shoulder in a right arm swinger (as well as in a hitter or left arm swinger) because the maximum swing radius is determined by the straight left arm and the clubshaft that is straight-in-line with the left arm, and it is not dependent on the biomechanical mechanisms responsible for powering the swing.</div>

<b>Golf Master Tips</b>, <a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/05/professional-golfer-right-arm-swinging.html" target="_blank">Professional Golfer Right Arm Swinging and Hitting</a> - In this section, I am going to be describing right arm swinging for the first time. I have previously discussed the hitting technique in my <a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-secret-to-shooting-even-par-golf.html" target="_blank">How to Power the Golf Swing</a> review paper, and I am not going to discuss the hitting technique again in great detail. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am mainly going to point out certain features of hitting, so that a golfer can clearly get to understand the differences between hitting and right arm swinging. The hitting technique was apparently first described by Homer Kelley in his book called "<b>The Golfing Machine</b>" [8]. I am therefore going to use the term TGM-hitting as indicating that I am describing the hitting technique in a way that was specifically recommended by Homer Kelley. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Homer Kelley briefly mentioned the possibility of a golfer using a right arm swinging technique, but he never described his right arm swinging approach in any detail in his book, and there is no "golf standard" source of solid TGM-based information on right arm swinging. I only know of three golf instructors who teach/taught right arm swinging - the late Tom Tomasello, Gary Edwin (in Australia) and Peter Croker (in Australia). I personally found their descriptions of right arm swinging unclear and of limited help, and in this review paper, I will be describing my personal approach to right arm swinging. <br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://golf-master-tips.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Professional Golfer Right Arm Swinging and Hitting </a></h3>
I believe that right arm swinging is particularly suitable for golfers who cannot pivot well due to a lack of torso/spinal flexibility and who cannot easily keep their left arm straight throughout the backswing and downswing. I believe that a well executed pivot action is essential for a left arm swinger, but less critical for a right arm swinger, who doesn't use a pivot-drive action to power the swing. <br /><br />The best analogy that I can envision that will allow a golfer to clearly understand the difference in "feeling" between left arm swinging and right arm swinging is to compare the "feeling" of throwing a frisbee backhanded with the left arm (which is analogous to left arm swinging) to skipping stones with the right arm (which is analogous to right arm swinging). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When a frisbee thrower performs a backhanded frisbee throw action, he first turns his torso away from the target and loads the left arm across the upper torso. He then starts the throw action by rotating his torso fast in the direction of the target, starting the pivot action from the bottom-up (lower body moves first and upper body moves secondarily). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The inert left arm (which simply acts as an inert lever) is then catapulted in the direction of the target by the fast rotating torso. The torso rotation supplies the throw power, and the left arm is basically inert from a throw-power perspective. <br /><br />By contrast, consider the throw action of a right-armed stone skipping individual. The major preparatory action involved in stone skipping is a preliminary loading of the right arm by withdrawing the right arm away from the torso, so that the right hand ends up in a positional location somewhere near the right shoulder. The right arm throw action in stone skipping can be perceived to be a side-throwing, slightly underhand, right arm throw action. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During this throw action, the stone skipper can use an active pivot action or a reactive pivot action. In an active pivot action, the stone skipper will first take a step forward with the left leg and initiate a pivot action before the right arm throws - similar to the right arm throw action of a baseball pitcher. In a reactive pivot action, the stone skipper will brace his left leg, and throw his right arm across the front of his rotating torso, while using the resistance of a braced lead leg to stabilise/control/direct the reactive pivot action. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both pivot actions work very well, and each individual stone skipper can choose the pivot action which works best for him. Interestingly, all three of those previously-mentioned golf instructors, who teach right arm swinging, recommend a reactive pivot action. I have personally experimented with both types of pivot action, and I personally perform "right arm swinging" much better when using a reactive pivot action (which I will describe in great detail at a later stage in this review paper). <br /><br /><br />TGM-hitting and right arm swinging have one biomechanical phenomenon in common - both techniques use the right arm to power the swing. However, there are major differences in technique. A TGM-hitter mainly powers the swing via a straightening action of the right arm (representing the active release of PA#1) and a TGM-hitter provides a constant push-force against the back/aft side of the grip end of the club throughout the mid-late downswing. Because a TGM-hitter is applying the constant push-force against the club's grip (at PP#3 and at PP#1 via the palm of the right hand, which sits over the left thumb), a TGM-hitter isdrive-loading the club. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When drive-loading a club throughout the downswing, a TGM hitter is over-riding the club's centrifugal release action (due to the passive release of PA#2) that normally occurs if a golfer uses a swinging technique. A hitter usually uses a triple barrel power accumulator swing action - 1:2/3 - and the straightening right arm actively releases all three of those power accumulators. By definition, a right arm swinger is still using a swinging technique, where the power accumulator use/release sequence is 4:2:3. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a swinging technique, it is only the release of PA#4 that is active, while the release of PA#2 and PA#3 is passive. In a left arm swinger, the pivot -drive action actively releases PA#4, while in a right arm swinger, the right arm releases PA#4. In other words, a right arm swinger uses the right arm to release the left arm, and the right arm basically pushes the left arm forward via push-pressure at PP#1 (located at the base of the left thumb of the left hand), and the pushed left hand then pulls the club via its left hand grip attachment (at PP#2). <br /><br />Another major difference betweeen TGM-hitting and right arm swinging, is the timing of the right arm push-force action. In TGM-hitting, the right arm push-power is mainly activated in the mid-late downswing - when the right arm straightens at the right elbow joint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By contrast, in right arm swinging, the right arm push-power is activated in the early downswing - prior to straightening the right elbow joint. To better understand this point, one needs to better understand the fundamental biomechanics of the TGM-hitting and right arm swinging actions. In TGM-hitting, swing power is primarily generated when the right arm actively straightens in the mid-late downswing. The right shoulder is the launching pad for the right arm straightening action, and it acts as a backstop for the active release of PA#1. </div>
<div>

A triple-barrel TGM-hitter primarily moves the right shoulder downplane in the early downswing, so that the right shoulder can get closer to the ball,before PA#1 is actively released. If PA#1 is released too soon, a TGM-hitter will run-out-of-right arm. A key feature of a TGM-hitter's swing action is the fact that the right arm must still be slightly bent at impact, and the right arm must only be fully straight by the end of the followthrough. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That biomechanical requirement means that the right shoulder must be sufficiently close enough to the ball at impact, so that a TGM-hitter doesn't run-out-of-right arm. A TGM-hitter can also supply a certain degree of right shoulder thrust action to his right shoulder's downplane movement, and some TGMers regard that additive right shoulder thrust action as contributing to a TGM-hitter's four-barrel swing action (4:1:2/3). </div>

<div>
In right arm swinging, the golfer activates the release of PA#4 (release of PA#4) via swing power derived from the right shoulder and right arm (and not via a pivot-drive action). To better understand this point, first consider how energy is supplied to the left arm in order to activate the release of PA#4 in a left am swinger's action. <br /><br />Consider Ben Hogan's left arm swingers' action - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL_6M_xZvq0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL_6M_xZvq0</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ben Hogan's release of PA#4 action - capture images from his swing video</div>
<br />I have plotted Ben Hogan's left hand arc movement in the above composite photo - derived from capture images from his swing video. I have divided his left hand arc movement into two stages - stage 1 (image 1 and image 3) represents the first part of the hand arc motion, and during this time period, the distance between the left hand and the right shoulder remains constant.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In stage 2 (image 2 and image 4) the distance between the left hand and right shoulder progessively increases and this stage represents the release of PA#4 (release of the left arm). The energy used to power the release PA#4 is derived from biomechanical actions occurring in stage 1. Which biomechanical actions occurring in stage 1 are primarily responsible for providing the swing power needed to power the release of PA#4 (that subsequently occurs in stage 2)? <br /><br />Consider what happens in stage 1 of Ben Hogan's swing. Ben Hogan states that he starts the downswing with a lower body shift-rotation movement, and he demonstrates this action in his swing video lesson. In the first part of the swing video lesson, he performs what is called the "Pump-it Drill" about 5x - where he shifts-rotates his pelvis, and thereby pulls the entire power package (which consists of the right shoulder, the right forearm flying wedge and left arm flying wedge) down to waist level, while keeping the power package intact. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The biomechanical process of keeping the power package intact means that there is no straightening of the right elbow during this process. If the right elbow doesn't straighten in stage 1, then the right shoulder, right elbow and hands (both the left hand and the right hand) are moving at the same speed. Ben Hogan implies that the lower body's shift-rotation movement supplies the power to passively move the intact power package down towards waist level. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In other words, the pivot-drive action is supplying the power to move the left arm/hand during stage 1. Many TGMers think that the power comes from the pivoting torso applying a loading pressure at PP#4 (where the left arm abuts the left pectoral area of the chest wall) during stage 1. I prefer to think that it is really the 3-D movement of the left shoulder socket in space, which is pulling the left arm at the same speed, that is really responsible for supplying the swing power needed to power the release of PA#4. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Conceptually, one can mentally think of a backhanded frisbee throw action using the left arm - during the first part of the throw action (stage 1), the pivot-drive action produces a torso rotation that rotates the left shoulder socket forwards very fast towards the target. The inert left arm is automatically pulled forward at the same speed as the left shoulder socket. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In other words, the energy needed to move the left arm is derived from the energy needed to rotate the left shoulder socket very fast in the early phase (stage 1) of the backhanded frisbee throw action - and that energy is derived from the pivot-rotation action. At a certain time-point in the backhanded frisbee throw action, the left arm will be thrown forward and it will travel at a faster speed than the left shoulder socket, and during this phase (stage 2) the left arm will be freewheeling towards impact. In other words, the energy needed to allow the left arm to freewheel towards the target (in stage 2) was derived from the pivot-drive's biomechanical actions that happen in stage 1.<br /><br />Here is another Ben Hogan swing video demonstrating this point - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJdChWnxDvU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJdChWnxDvU</a> <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hogan's release of PA#4 - capture images from his swing video</div>
<br />Images 1, 2, 3 show Hogan's shoulder and arm movements in the early downswing - prior to the release of PA#4. Note how he has squared his pelvis as a result of the pelvis shift-rotation movement that initiates his downswing. Note how much his left and right shoulders have moved in space. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Note that the right elbow is moving as fast as his right/left shoulders, and note that the two hands/grip is moving as fast as the shoulders - which means that the entire power package remains intact. Note that the angle between the left arm and the chest wall has remained essentially unchanged - which means that PA#4 has not yet released. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In other words, it is during this early stage of the downswing that energy is being supplied to the left arm, that will eventually supply the left arm with enough thrust energy to enable it to freewheel towards impact in the mid-late downswing. <br /><br />Note that PA#4 is releasing in images 4/5 - note that the angle between the chest wall and left arm is progressively increasing. Why does PA#4 release at that particular time-point in the downswing? I believe that it is causally due to the fact that the shoulders are becoming square to the ball-target line, and their directional thrust action downwards-and-forwards in the direction of the ball has now reached the zenith of its velocity-travel in that direction. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The shoulders will keep on rotating actively in the mid-late downswing, but not in a direction that supplies a thrust force downwards-and-forwards in the direction of the ball. In other words, it is at this "PA#4 release" time point that the left arm gets catapulted/blasted towards impact with enough energy to freewheel through impact, and beyond impact (as occurs in that swing video of a "pure" left arm-only swinger). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Note that the right elbow remains bent and note that the left arm-clubshaft angle remains unchanged during the early phase of PA#4's release - Hogan has still retained his clubshaft lag (image 4/5). Maintaining clubshaft lag, and avoiding casting, is critically important to a left arm swinger's action - as described in my review paper on <a href="http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/casting.htm">How to Maximize Wrist Lag and Avoid Casting</a>. <br /><br />I believe that a right arm swinger must mimic these actions - i) activating/energising PA#4 in the early downswing and then releasing PA#4 with enough energy to allow the left arm to freewheel fast towards impact; while ii) ensuring that lag is maintained in the early downswing, so that casting is avoided - by using the right shoulder/arm, and not a pivot-drive action. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I believe that a right arm swinger must get into the same position as Hogan in image 5 - note that his right elbow is approaching its pitch position in front of the right hip, and note that his right elbow has not straightened. Also, note that his left wrist is still fully upcocked, and that his right wrist is still fully dorsiflexed. How does a right arm swinger accomplish these goals?<br /><br />When I studied the golf instructional advice of "right arm swinging" golf instructors, they offered no useful advice on how to accomplish these goals. In fact, their primary recommendations seemed counterintuitive, and even counterproductive - because they concentrated their golf instructional advice on a "right forearm or right hand throw action", which I believe must be preceded by a right arm-induced PA#4 loading/release procedure . Consider what they recommend in their swing video lessons or books.<br /></div>
<div>
Tom Tomasello produced a swing video lesson relating to his ideas about right arm swinging at a late stage of his life [9].<br /></div>
<div>
At the 5 minute time-point in the chapter 1 video lesson, he starts to talk about, and he demonstrates, how to perform the "right arm swing" action - and he states-: "the right forearm must throw the clubshaft down onto the plane, and that action will uncock both wrists in a karate chop motion". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What he is describing actually happens in the mid-downswing and not the early downswing. He doesn't describe how to mimic Ben Hogan's early downswing action that allows the power package to remain intact in the early downswing. I think that many beginner golfers may misunderstand his advice, and prematurely straighten their right elbow in the early downswing. I think that Peter Croker's advice is even more problematic. <br /><br />Peter Croker article in Golf Digest - <a href="http://www.crokergolf.com/golfdigestarticle1.htm">http://www.crokergolf.com/golfdigestarticle1.htm</a><br /><br />Peter Croker states that a golfer should think of throwing the clubhead at the ball as the first downswing action, and he recommends that the golfer should "feel" that he is pushing the clubhead down to the ball with the right hand. <br /><br />In his book [10] Peter Croker recommends that a golfer throw the right hand at the ball.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEitEUfVe-4ktC3O3ZEkN-JJgL3h9QvX0L22jDnJqfL6y4v_ie-SJXcep7kMJYFwe2z3WqmktOdvEh8FW4PWO5kQ08ghyS7rRgZhWt0yt2vj_Cld5Omzb-NZ0JddvgXPTik4PEo8nxbY_IeP08xDnzuszQ=" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peter Croker's throw action - from reference number [10]</div>
<br />I have combined two images from Peter Croker's book. In his book, he states with reference to image 1-: "Practice swinging your right arm freely to the top"; and with reference to image 2 he states-: "Throw your hand at the golf ball".<br /><br />I think that it is mistake to think of throwing the right forearm (as recommended by Tom Tomasello) or throwing the right hand (as recommended by Peter Croker) down-and-out towards the ball as the primary swing thought, because that will more likely result in a premature straightening of the right arm and also increase the likelihood of casting (prematurely losing clubhead lag). <br /><br />I believe that a right arm swinger must try and get to Ben Hogan's positional alignment in image 5 in this next composite photo by "feeling" that he is firstthrowing the right upper arm (and not the right forearm or right hand). <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="72" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEj-uJaEFrFbALL_np0TlXJ1c0-jlBEIo9KswluKO0g-yjOF6naydyXGjfFi6Kn_ybnWuGhYFKtvplRw3RBWS8-cFmvTaCEcVdMEqALQmETTqqfMlHCuVb0hekn0U6UXEVP7pIlHLRJ0IDieF1xU6sucuMbbirIS=" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hogan's PA#4 release action - capture images from his swing video</div>
<br />The basic idea is that a right arm swinger must mimic Ben Hogan's positional/movement actions as closely as possible - by using the right arm in a "biomechanically correct" way. <br /><br />I recommend that a right arm swinger start the right arm swinging action by simultaneously i) throwing the right upper arm and ii) thrusting the right shoulder downplane, so that they move at roughly the same speed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The right upper arm throw action is actually an active adduction movement of the right upper arm towards the right side of the torso, so that the right elbow is actively driven towards its pitch position in front of the right hip. During this right upper arm throw action, it is important to maintain the same degree of right elbow bend and the same degree of right wrist dorsiflexion (like Ben Hogan demonstrates in the above composite photo), so that the right forearm flying wedge maintains an unchanged relationship to the left arm flying wedge. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If the right elbow bend is maintained during this active right upper arm throw action, then the right palm will be exerting a constant push-pressure against the left hand at PP#1 in a direction that is down-and-out towards the ball - see yellow arrow in image 5. In other words, the active right upper arm throw action, combined with an active downplane thrust movement of the right shoulder (that is simultaneously happening at the same speed), is responsible for releasing PA#4 - instead of the pivot-drive action (as occurs in a left arm swinger's action). <br /><br />The amount of right upper arm/right shoulder active thrust energy required during this early downswing phase of activating, and then releasing, PA#4 is the amount necessary to supply the inert left arm with enough energy to easily freewheel towards impact in the mid-late downswing. A right arm swinger must notcontinue to actively thrust his right palm against the left thumb at PP#1 after he reaches the delivery position (image 5 above) because it is at this stage of the downswing that the left wrist will naturally start uncocking due to a centrifugal action (PA#2 release phase).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If a right arm swinger continues to actively thrust during the mid-late downswing, then he will end up drive-loading the shaft (like a hitter), because the right palm will start to apply a push-pressure against the aftside of the grip as the club releases. A right arm swinger must allow PA#2 to release passively via a centrifugal action (as occurs in a left arm swinger' action), and the right palm must not be pushing against PP#1, or against the grip, with excessive force in the mid-late downswing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the mid-late downswing, the right elbow must start straightening (due to an active isotonic contraction of the right triceps muscle) and that active action will cause the right forearm to paddlewheel towards impact. During this "right arm straightening" action, the right palm will exert a push-force against PP#1/grip. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, the degree of push-force, that is operant during the "right arm straightening" action, should only allow the right palm to keep up with the left hand (as the left arm/hand freewheels towards impact due to the previously activated release of PA#4) while maintaining the appropriate amount of extensor action. In other words, a right arm swinger must closely mimic the power accumulator release sequence of a left arm swinger (4:2:3), and also ensure that the release of PA#2 and PA#3 is passive. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If a right arm swinger attempts to actively release PA#2/3, then he will likely become a hitter, who drive-loads the shaft. <br /><br />Each golfer needs to decide whether he prefers to be a right arm swinger or a hitter, and he needs to fully understand the differences in right arm action, so that he can efficiently execute the appropriate right arm actions in an efficiently time-coordinated manner. In the next section, I will describe the fundamental differences between hitting a right arm swinging in a step-by-step manner.</div>
