Swinger's Right Arm

[hg]

Nice post 12p....couldn't help noticing the difference between Bo's right foot and Kj's right foot thru impact...Bo's is firmly planted while Kj's is on the ball/toes of his right foot prior to and thru impact. That camera is amazing

Peter K does not like BG's leg action thru impact...I guess Peter is into the power game.

First place I'd look is plane. If you can't straighten the right arm down and OUT, you are probably over plane through impact.

Split grip drills, no ball, just in the air, below horizontal, but not lowered all the way to a full swing.

Focus on first - not letting the clubhead get 'inside' the hands until hip high, and second, swinging OUT - from about 7 to 2 on a clock as your right arm straightens to 2 o'clock.

If that doesn't help you get a good feel for how the right arm needs the 'room' to straighten, next look to your pivot. You may not be turning through very well.

Hi Ed,

I am not quite picturing the drill that you describe. Is the club just below horizontal but not touching the ground when you do the drill?
Thanks,
Alex

Alex - as if you were trying to hit a ball on a 12" tee with a split grip (left hand in normal position, right just on the metal of the shaft.
