This TRAIL ARM Move is a GAME CHANGER | Worlds #1 GOLF COACH Pete Cowen
wrist movement is pretty simple the up and down cocking motion of the wrist I call that cocking action doesn’t matter what anybody else calls it as long as you understand the lesson and uncock like a gun and uncocks the other movement is a hinge a door that opens and closes that’s the door that opens and closes we want a little bit more cocking than we do hinging so consistent movement of the wrist is very important but it is a fairly stable joint the wrist the elbow is very stable all it does really is Bend now that’s a real stable joint okay so that’s consistent the one problem in the GOL swing is the shoulder it’s hypermobile it goes wherever it wants so what we’ve got to do in the go swing is trying to stabilize this right shoulder much more if you get your arm down by your side and keep the shoulder nice and stable in there and really just bend your arm to a right angle if you can do that you can can stabilize this right shoulder and that’s really really important a simple little movement of this says whether you can or can’t play I haven’t met anybody that can’t so at least 99% of people unless they’ve been badly injured will be able to do this and the reason I say that is that stabilizes the shoulder and it helps us to achieve more consistency in the swing now the next little exercise to do is put your H your hand and your arm down by your side again lift it up to right angles let your shoulder move move Inward and down and what you’ll notice is your hand has moved a full 90° in rotation without you really having to do anything it means that when your shoulder stable you can move your shoulder STA and your hand will stay stable as well and that’s really important in the golf swing to get stable hands and you only get stable hands from the correct right shoulder movement so getting the right shoulder in the correct position is very important when you’re taking your grip a lot of you should remember to keep this forearm in position and just turn your hand to the side that that will help you to fold your arm onto the correct plane really really important that movement I see a lot of people who grab the club with the right hand loose position of the right elbow loose position of the right shoulder then they can’t get their Club on plane if the elbows in and the hands on correctly and then the elbow folds you’re going to get in a much better position and the reason for that is quite simple put your arm down by your side again and look where your elbow’s pointing my forearm and elbow now pointing back to the camera there and when I just fold up in that 90° position my fingers made a 90 degre rotation with everything happening naturally so if you get this arm in the correct position and fold it correct the actual rotation is automatic for you automatic for you
