The lead arm position at the top has long been debated, but both styles can work if they match the player 📌
🔆 Take @justinthomas34 and @mattkuchargolf two opposite approaches, yet their club and handle positions look similar in mid-downswing.
♻️ The key is in the transition:
👉🏻 Matt Kuchar needs a horizontal handle move. For this reason the muscles need to stretch more laterally.
👉🏻 Justin Thomas, instead, benefits from a more vertical load and drop, stretching his muscles more up and around.
💭 What really matters is understanding how to load and engage the muscles efficiently based on your style.
