Getting the arms to work correctly allows you to create a lot more pressure on the ball and pressure will equate to more distance it’s not just speed speed and pressure so getting the arm to work with speed and then applying pressure with the correct hand action is probably the most important thing for anybody to increase their power in their golf swing now years ago they used to have what they call the towel drill where they put the towel under their arm and everybody used the little towel drill it was backwards and forwards and players became fairly consistent but very short but the Body Action was really around it wasn’t coiled it didn’t do a lot of power work it just created a consistency of movement so you got fairly consistent but not much power now what you need is you need to do that drill correctly ly and getting the arm speed matched to that body movement is really important so we’ve got to understand how you move your arms and your body so when I do the drill when I do the drill I might tie my arms into my rib cage I don’t need a towel tie my arms into my rib cage I keep them there let the elbow fold in the wrist but now I’m going to use much more speed we use much more speed and much more body coil so I can still hit the ball probably 90% of full distance doing that and probably get a lot more accuracy so if you do this drill correctly and you get the speed from the the forarm movement the forearm moving down from the the forearm movement the forearm moving down and the correct hand action with pressure then you’re going to get much more control of your golf shot your Club face is going to stay a lot squarer through the impact and you’re going to get a lot more consistency what I see a lot of people do is they don’t use the inside of the forearm they use the the outside and a lot of people used to use the what we call the ball the beach ball drill where they roll the beach ball back and rolled it through well in that case you’re using out out side rotation so you’re really not going to get the benefit of the downward pressure and the body opening up the downward pressure and the body opening up so that movement it’s okay but it’s not going to produce much pressure on the ball we want the right shoulder and the arm to really create some pressure we want the right shoulder and the arm to really create some pressure in the direction that we’re going and at the same time the body opening up so we’re creating much more pressure we’re creating much more squareness through impact we’ve got hand action as opposed to manipulation so we’re much more stable through the impact and we’ll get a much more consistent shot so your bad shots will get much much better your good shots will take care of themselves but your bad shots will get much better so remember the forearms move downward not around not around the golf swing The Body Action moves around and up down and around but the arms are moving down and through the shot not outside rotation you get outside rotation you might start feeling you’re going to get a little bit of tennis elbow or golfers elbow if you use inside rotation you’re using a much more stable right elbow movement a much more stable hand movement and you’re not going to get anywhere near as injured so this movement tends to encourage tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow moving in the wrong position keep it out in front of you keep the pressure in the ground keep it moving we really want the arms to move quickly in the correct Direction with the body moving we really want the arms to move quickly in the correct Direction with the body moving the speed and the pressure applied is the key to you getting much more distance

Getting the arms to work correctly allows you to create a lot more pressure on the ball and pressure will equate to more distance it’s not just speed speed and pressure so getting the arm to work with speed and then applying pressure with the correct hand action is probably

The most important thing for anybody to increase their power in their golf swing now years ago they used to have what they call the towel drill where they put the towel under their arm and everybody used the little towel drill it was backwards and forwards and players became fairly

Consistent but very short but the Body Action was really around it wasn’t coiled it didn’t do a lot of power work it just created a consistency of movement so you got fairly consistent but not much power now what you need is you need to do that drill correctly ly

And getting the arm speed matched to that body movement is really important so we’ve got to understand how you move your arms and your body so when I do the drill when I do the drill I might tie my arms into my rib cage I don’t need a

Towel tie my arms into my rib cage I keep them there let the elbow fold in the wrist but now I’m going to use much more speed we use much more speed and much more body coil so I can still hit the ball probably 90% of full distance doing

That and probably get a lot more accuracy so if you do this drill correctly and you get the speed from the the forarm movement the forearm moving down from the the forearm movement the forearm moving down and the correct hand action with pressure then you’re going to get much

More control of your golf shot your Club face is going to stay a lot squarer through the impact and you’re going to get a lot more consistency what I see a lot of people do is they don’t use the inside of the forearm they use the the

Outside and a lot of people used to use the what we call the ball the beach ball drill where they roll the beach ball back and rolled it through well in that case you’re using out out side rotation so you’re really not going to get the benefit of the downward pressure and the

Body opening up the downward pressure and the body opening up so that movement it’s okay but it’s not going to produce much pressure on the ball we want the right shoulder and the arm to really create some pressure we want the right shoulder and the arm to really create some pressure in the

Direction that we’re going and at the same time the body opening up so we’re creating much more pressure we’re creating much more squareness through impact we’ve got hand action as opposed to manipulation so we’re much more stable through the impact and we’ll get a much more consistent shot so your

Bad shots will get much much better your good shots will take care of themselves but your bad shots will get much better so remember the forearms move downward not around not around the golf swing The Body Action moves around and up down and around but the arms are moving down and

Through the shot not outside rotation you get outside rotation you might start feeling you’re going to get a little bit of tennis elbow or golfers elbow if you use inside rotation you’re using a much more stable right elbow movement a much more stable hand movement and you’re not going to get

Anywhere near as injured so this movement tends to encourage tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow moving in the wrong position keep it out in front of you keep the pressure in the ground keep it moving we really want the arms to move quickly in the correct Direction with

The body moving we really want the arms to move quickly in the correct Direction with the body moving the speed and the pressure applied is the key to you getting much more distance
