Yes! This maybe the best golf video on KZread. Great explanation of the causes/issues. Anyone who can do this can be a good ball striker. Rotation/compression/extension instead of arms only. Also improves straight hitting and quieter arms/hands. Exactly what I need to show my arms only/chicken wing golf buddy. Five thumbs up!

Agreed.... probably one of the best tips ever. Problem is for most golfers is they are not flexible enough to keep the arm straight in backswing..... SO STOP EATING GARBGE PEOPLE!!!

GREAT VIDEO!!! Side bend, YES, while not allowing your head to shift towards the target. To get a full arm extension, thinking about swinging your hands towards the target won't work. Thinking about keeping your head far from the target during the late downswing and follow through works much better.

@PerformanceGolfZone Your welcome Eric and thanks for all your help! ⛳️🏌‍♂️

A feel that I was using earlier in practice was to throw my arms in the downswing and through the ball. It almost feels out of control, but the ball-striking was great. It helped me to not try to control the clubhead into the ball which produces thin & cuffed shots. I also feel for the straight arm extension in the follow through by holding tilt and pushing my arms and club forward and holding it there for a few seconds.

is this drill valid for the driver swing too? Amazing video thanks Eric

@PerformanceGolfZone

4 ай бұрын

You would feel like your arms are straight past the ball with all clubs for sure but in terms of the drill I would practice with something like an 8 iron here!

Love this tip Eric. Question: is it more important to have the arms connected (elbows together) in the backswing or the downswing? Please don't say both, as my 50 yr old body cannot do both!

@PerformanceGolfZone

2 ай бұрын

Hey Richard! Downswing for sure

Hey Eric, does that apply to hitting a driver as well?

@PerformanceGolfZone

4 ай бұрын

Hey Mark! In practice yes....of course we need to learn to finish the swing from there. But honestly in practice I would stick to an iron with this. With driver main differences would be setup (ball more forward and more tilt) and in downswing the head/torso stays more back

Really, Eric, it is a great video; however, the straight arms concept is not easy to realize. Check, e.g., your full swing at about 11:10 minutes of the video. In case you manage to stop the video (I needed several trials) when your right arm is horizontal and straight after the impact (at the impact, the right arm certainly should not be straight!), then you will easily see that your left arm is already pretty much bent. Nevertheless, congratulation for your excellent teaching!

Hey! I wouldn't say single plane...but always a good idea to stay at close to original swing plane as possible for most!

Oh i see. After i hit the ball i should do some stuff. I thought maybe before and during impact were important. Smh.

Hi Eric; I've taken lessons occasionally over the years & none of the pros I took lessons from ever noticed my chicken wing so I lost a lot of time without improving & this is why. Needless to say, I'm less than pleased. My swing always felt like I was too short after impact but I never saw it on video so I didn't know why. 🤬
