Okay so as a golf coach who coaches a wide range of abilities from advising professional golfers to complete beginner golfers I can safely say that there is a movement that you need to understand that will take you from whatever level of golf for you currently are to that next advanced level of
Golfer that you want to be the problem is you see what happens if I sort of mimic somebody who is quite new to the game in terms of how they end up hitting the golf ball we all have the same habit where we pull down on the club like and
What we’re trying to do is just make sure that we get a good contact on the back of the golf ball okay and that is really logical right so my wife has recently been learning to play golf over this year and or last year I should say
Really as well and that was very much how she started and it makes a lot of sense right you want to keep your head still you want to pull down on the club but then the problem is is that your arms are always going to end up bending
Now if you’re then somebody who doesn’t evolve out of that you might get slightly better okay similar to to how Anna’s been getting on but the problem is is that if that movement becomes embedded you’re always going to have a degree of inconsistency the movement that you’re
Really looking for as we start the down swing is not this movement of pulling the arms in where everything gets really narrow what we’re actually looking for is much more of a release much more of a straightening motion particularly that of the trail hand like so now understandably similar to when I
Have a chat with my wife an her about this sort of stuff that seems quite weird because it would be a question of like well if I do that okay that kind of makes sort of sense but I’m not going to be able to hit the golf ball and and
This is why what you really need to do in the golf swing is you need to understand that your body is guiding your arms okay similar to skimming a stone analogy throwing a ball an allogy you know this arm is always going to be straightening your body moves to help
Direct where that release of that object is going to occur and this is the reason why I do genuinely love the swing body training because the swing budy training trainer is something that if you’re somebody who just PS on the club you’re going to kind of you’re going to hate it
Cuz it’s going to feel like hard work but once you learn that all you got to do is just straighten it like this then you’re going to absolutely fall in love with it and then once you understand that all you got to do is straighten your arm whilst turning your
Body okay so the way I turn my chest over my left leg then you’re going to fall in love with golf way more and you’re going to get miles better so this is an option for those of you who that’s not an option for then what I would
Suggest is the feeling that you’re trying to discover is the feeling of as you start the downswing the club head needs to be moving away from the body so as you can see here if I allow my upper arm to move to the side of my body and I allow my
Lower arm to move away from my upper arm which is the correct movement see the club heads moving away from my body so that gives me the confidence to turn my body to the left as that’s moving away and it’s the concoction of both of those
Movements that’s going to make you a way way way way way better golfer I absolutely promise you so if you are stuck at an ability level high handicap golfer mid- handicap golfer even single figure golfer I promise you if you can understand to turn your chest while
Straightening your Trail up is going to take you to that next level see you soon

Thanks Russell
What is the difference between that and casting Russel ?
Russell is right. The L to L drill is a perfect drill for this. I thought it was casting at first but it's not. The L to L drill with rotation is the secret to a good swing with speed.
Love this video!!!
Thanks Russell!!!!, I did gain 20-30 yards by doing it!!!

My ball striking has improved massively in the last couple of months thanks to your knowledge Russ. Thank you very much. Best golf instruction on Youtube.
This is key! So many videos out there that tell people to keep there trail bent and lagging the club are not doing any justice them.
This entire emphasis on the straightening of the right arm has completely changed my ball striking for the better‼️ Thank you so much.
Great one here. I have been hitting recently with slightly bent left arm at impact and corresponding inconsistency. Wondering how to correct this I was pleased to see this today. After watching this I went to the range and was piping everything. Thanks Russ!
