Should You Keep your Arms Back Or Arms In Front in the Downswing???

[@Peter-we8iw]

Terrific illustration showing the correct rotational movements in the transition and downswing. Most youtube instructors don't break in down like you do. Thanks dude.

perfect timing with this video. Thanks, Larry!

For a while i was too shallow hitting big pushes only. So i got my arms more infront and got better ball contact and better on plane

[@wolfyand1]

nice video Larry. I was wondering if the arms come too far out would it lead to getting too close to the ball and getting heel strikes (or shanks)?

[@danielsong6096]

all depends on rotation of the chest through the golf ball. the more open at impact I are the more I find that I can keep the arms back and have good face control and speed. without rotation of the chest at impact I can't keep my hands back otherwise I'll early extend or hit 6 inches behind the ball.

when arms come to the front when you shallow, seems the club trajectory will be flatter and higher than the ball...in this case you need to lower your upper body while rotating to reach the ball???

Larry, good morning. I cannot seem to have a flat left wrist at the top of my back swing but I fo flatten it during my down swing into impact. Is that ok?

[@migbgold3191]

I am same as you - largely because i have a strong grip, and so my lead wrist does not naturally flatten and bow until I start my transition and uncock the wrists which flattens out the lead wrist; those images where players are flat or bowed at the top seem to me to have awfully weak left hands

ya its ok if you feel good about it and hit it the way you want =)
