Your trail arm plays a much bigger role in your golf swing than most golfers realise — and if it’s not working correctly, it can lead to weak shots, poor contact, and inconsistency.
In this video, I break down exactly how the trail arm should be moving in the golf swing and why so many golfers get it wrong without even knowing it. Once you understand this movement, it becomes much easier to create better structure, more control, and stronger ball striking.
This is one of the most important but misunderstood parts of the swing, and small changes here can have a huge impact on your overall performance.
If you’ve been struggling with inconsistent shots, this is a simple place to start.

Great visuals
Brilliant..just brilliant. Is crux of my issues thanks Chris!👌👍👍👍
Specific angle of the orange wedge…say 14 degrees.
Thanks for the info . How does that trailing elbow apply to a driver?
Found this channel recently and love the info 👌
Wedge Chris. It's a foam wedge.
Just to caution folks thinking the right arm is coming “in front” on its own, it comes in front because as the arms coming down to the pocket, the golfer is rotating , which puts it more “inside”
Great content Chris!
I have to create a lot of tension in order to keep my elbows close together. Normal?
Great video, Chris. That foam wedge is a great visual for attack angle.
Would that foam wedge be a squat wedge? What size should it be?
These drills are great for right hand dominant right hand players but what about right hand dominant left handed players? None of us can throw left handed for shit!
The one arm excercise toward the end of this session is pure Genius!
Another great instructional video . This is exactly what I do and hit behind the ball 👍
