Golf swing - Arms or body?

[@annerollogolf9640]

No easy answers in golf !! Very interesting. Love your tips Sue

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

I know... There's always a 'but...'

[@bj146651]

How are you using lower body though. Are you pushing off back foot?

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

Yes,. Does this help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIvWhatnj795rM0

Sue as we have seen with my swing, if I get to much arms and hands I forget about my lower body and have a really bad hook. I need to focus on moving my hips toward my target rather than opening them up. When I open my hips to early it causes my over the top which causes my slice. I've been working on it a bit, but can't wait to get back out there and get my lessons going with you again.

Your analysis of your swing is perfect Jeremy!

Great video...thank you...arms swing is best for me too

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

You bet! Thanks for watching.

Plane One or Plane Two - ????? Worth another video perhaps?? I feel better now about not using my body as much as I see others do. Will keep attempting to whip the club and strengthening hands.

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

You are definitely a 2-plane swinger! Just FYI. I'll rustle up a video for you Erica 😀

@@ChangeGolfInstruction Two sounds better than one so I think I'm happy (probably shortlived).

[@dogloverjb6873]

I swing my arms and allow my body to react to my swinging of my arms.

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

I like that as a visual....👍

[@JayZoop]

I was thinking about that and don't you alternate between arms and body. 1.) The takeaway and backswing is arms. 2) The start of the swing and getting power from the ground is body, 3.) Then the arms and wrists finishes off at the very end. In the end it's all about feel.

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

Yeah, it's what works for you. But if you use more body through impact you will have a harder time squaring up the face. And if you use more arms you will have a tendency to close the face.

Here’s what I say. After decades of golf, I’ve found that the body gives you a smoother swing. It’s bigger and it turns easily. Tuck your right elbow to your side and turn. Perfect every time.

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

Thanks for your comment. Perfect EVERY time. That's quite a promise 😁. Tucking the right elbow and turning reflects a one-plane swing, For some people that works. For others a two-plane swing is better. Partly it depends on what your goals are...

Not agree what do your mean with body it’s shoulder rotation what give the swing path wich is most important

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

Thanks for your comment. I'm not exactly sure what you are saying, but I think you are saying that the shoulders control the path? Like always, that's true, but how you initiate the downswing -- including what your lower body does -- affects it too. If I have misinterpreted your comment, then maybe you can clarify.

@@ChangeGolfInstruction thank you for comment, hitting balls is about swing path and clubhead aim for amateurs to keep it simple ( Proffesional do not watch KZbin) body move make the arms going right to left Happy new year

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

I agree with you. But as the downswing starts from the ground up (which doesn't include the shoulders) you can influence your path by using the hips correctly too. If you don't, then the shoulders will open too soon and give you a horrible path.

@@ChangeGolfInstruction thank you bud separate underbody from upperbody can only be done by younger people

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

Not in my experience (and decades of teaching older golfers)! We're not talking X-factor. Just sequencing. Don't write off us old folks so easy! 🥴

[@Supper-zero]

Sue, do you ask a quarterback, baseball pitcher, hockey player or someone swinging a baseball bat if they should use just their arms or just their body? what kind of sports do you teach, with this whole notion of breaking down the golf swing into one position or movement is what makes learning golf so difficult for beginners. It would be simpler to differentiate the two swings as more focus on arms for distance and more body rotation for accuracy- period.

[@ChangeGolfInstruction]

Thanks so much for your feedback. We all see things differently and it's good to hear a different perspective. Very best wishes with your golf. Very sincerely, Sue
