Are you having problems with the way you take the golf club away? Are you having problems with your transition? And of course, if you’ve got problems with takeaway and transition, you will absolutely have problems with your strike. [music] In the next 10 minutes, I’m going to talk to you how the trail hand, the trail arm, works in the back swing. How it rotates [music] as you take the golf club away to get that takeaway in the slot. How the forearm rotates in the back swing and the down swing to get the delivery of the golf club nice and consistent so that you can find the fairway every time. For many years, you have been dissuaded from rotating your forearms. Rotation of the forearms is the devil’s work, people will say, and you will end up trying to lock your arms down. Well, the forearm rotation of the trail side, the right hand of a right-handed golfer is going to unlock the energy. It is going to unlock the leverage. how this right arm works on the way back. How it goes from feeling that palm down to palm up on the way back is the missing link to your takeaway. how that right arm then creates an open book. The palm up in transition that allows you to feel the forearm rotation point down. The forearm rotation is going to look down. The palm is going to look down on the floor. And when you feel that forearm rotation back down to the floor, you will create that angle of attack. You’re looking for the forearm rotation of the trail side is crucial to balancing up the club and how it moves around the body. The real key to all of this, the real key to the forearm rotation is feeling the weight of the club head. Taking the club head and feeling where the weight is during the swing. That allows you to sense how much rotation is going to suit your swing. so that you can make the ball come out nice and straight based on how you hold the club. The weight of the head is crucial and feeling the weight of the head is going to allow that forearm rotation to work for you. We realize the importance of this forearm rotation, understanding what it’s going to do for your takeaway, understanding what it does for transition and impact. How do we feel it? How do we change it? It’s simple. We take the golf club and as soon as we put the golf club behind the golf ball and we lift the club head up, you’ve immediately felt the weight in the head. You will feel this trail hand pulling. You will feel the lead arm pushing. Now you can see the club head pitching up. You’re still in posture, but you’re seeing the club head lifting up. Now, what I want you to do is lift it up and move it to the right. Making sure that this grip does not move. You lift it up and move it to the right. Can you see how the grip is not moving, but the club head is? This is the forearm rotation that we’re looking for. Now, many of you will say I’m fanning the face open, but the reality is the toe of the golf club is still looking up to the sky. If the toe of the golf club started to rotate away, then we would have forearm rotation and an opening face. Now, the crucial part of recognizing what your face is doing is your lead wrist. If the shape of your lead wrist where it was at a dress changes in your back swing more or less, more is going to cause your face to open. Less is going to cause your face to close. So the forearm rotation has nothing to do with the orientation of the face, whether it’s open or closed. It’s giving you the chance to move the club head from being in front of you this side of the grip to making the club head sit this side of the grip. The difference between the two is crucial. If we had no forearm rotation, the grip club head would stay this side of the grip all of the time. So when you get this split grip and you just lift the head up, keeping the butt of the club in the same spot and now you move the club to the side in the region of 45° and now you take the golf club back. Now the forearm rotation is correct. So this right arm is flexing. This forearm is rotating and I’m able to maintain the shape of my wrist. Now, when you then get yourself to the top of the back swing and you feel that forearm rotation, how long you feel that forearm rotation stay in your down swing is the key is the crucial element that allows you to feel the pressure on the grip down through strike that I talk about extensively in these three videos here. This forearm rotation is the ingredient that allows you to put pressure on the grip down through strike. And when that forearm rotation is in place and I’ve moved it up to the top and you can see that I’m moving the grip forwards here and I’m unraveling my body. Now the forearm rotation is going to work the other way. There’s the forearm rotation working the other way as I move the grip back down. There’s the forearm rotation. Right arm’s getting longer. Now I move the grip back down. So all of a sudden I’m back in my impact condition. So the forearm rotation on the way back and the forearm rotation on the way down will move your club around your body. Therefore, you need the track of the grip to be correct. Which is why I talk about the grip track in this video here. If you don’t recognize the track of the grip, you won’t be able to use your forearm rotation effectively. If you can’t use your forearm rotation effectively, it’s because your grip is not right. And it all comes back to the grip all of the time. The grip is crucial, my friends. So, we get the club lifted up. We impart the forearm rotation. We take the golf club to the top. Now I can feel how the grip is going to start to move forwards. And now I can start to feel how that forearm rotation changes on the way down. Now I’ve got the club head in front of me, the grip back underneath, and I can now start to feel that pressure down on the golf ball. The common mistake I see all of the time is people not wanting this club to move behind the grip. The club head moving behind the grip is the forearm rotation. If your grip moves away from your body, when you then come to make that forearm rotation, you can see how ugly that looks and invariably that leads to then being too steep in your down swing. So, just make sure that that grip track away from the ball, which you can find out more here on is in the right spot to allow that forearm rotation to help you, not hinder you. If you want to find out a little bit more about the importance of how the grip track squares the club face, go and seek out my broom videos because they will really, really help you in the sensation of where the grip needs to go to make that face back straight. Can you see how the broom head here is lining back up? Grip is forwards, grip is down. That movement of the grip moving forwards and the cuphead swinging over is forearm rotation. And the world over has tried to ask you to stop the forearm rotation. Hopefully, you found some elements in here that are really going to open up the understanding of the importance of the forearm rotation on the trail side. Make sure your grip’s correct. Get that grip track correct and you’ll be unloading that golf club down through strike like never before. Are you tired of paying too much for your premium leather golf gloves?

Another Banger ! ….thanks for the content Boss have a Great day 💪
I think it's very understated just how much of an issue this is. I still struggle sometimes with not getting the right-hand palm up during the backswing. I can easily end up with an abbreviated backswing. An abbreviated backswing can hit the ball, sure, but it blocks just about everything else about a good swing. I don't generally think about it in terms of right-hand palm up but rather in terms of arm rotation like you mention here. Great video, I hope your viewers give it due attention.
Danke! Every part of your descriptions helps me move forward. I am so extremely grateful. I wish you all the best.
Another layer unpeeled…. Very relevant to me.😊
Thank you very much Stuart !
Please, can you provide us with the links of the previous videos you are advising?
They are sometimes difficult to find among your large library.
Hi Stu,
So when the club is parallel to the floor, has the toe point to the sky or to be parallel to spine angle? Many thanks ❤❤
Thanks!
One of your best Stuart – great lesson 👍 I reckon I don't rotate my trail forearm anywhere near as much as you suggest, out of (an incorrect) fear of leaving the face open and being unable to close it in time, and it then restricts the amount of turn I can get. Something to work on for sure
Yesss you've added timeline stamps!
Stu, I must say, the education you give on the golf swing has been nothing short of spectacular. If all golfers knew just a fraction of what you teach, they’d be far better golfers. When I have golf discussions, after a round, I find myself parroting some of your words. If someone disagrees, I immediately tell him/her to go watch your YT channel. As always, keep educating us. Cheers.
The slo-mo one handed move at 1:40 is exactly what I have always done even around the practice greens. I like to use a pw, lay the face open and hit lob shots. I will even do it on the course just to prove a point and tick my buddies off!!!! They all stand around confused because they just don't get it!! Who needs 2 hands if you can get this one move right with the body rotation!!! All it is, is the old side arm throw skipping rocks across the pond!!!!
This is the way. Problem is that we are taught not to have the face open on the downswing, which completely shuts off our forearm rotation and engages wrists too much to create speed. Now I have natural forearm rotation and golf is fun again. Compression, straighter shots. Hit it just as far with a 3/4 shot now. And the grip track is awesome. Was dropping hands too low early, now I have hands farther away and use forearms.
