The old ball position with everything off the left heel makes so much sense!

There's a very interesting aspect to Arnie's swing that no one ever talks about and that he didn't have pelvic extension. We see this type of move on the LPGA tour but almost never in men. As far as I know Arnie never had any back problems and I think this lack of extension is why. This also explains his helicopter finish because he was essentially in his own way. You won't find any pictures of Arnie in that reverse C or K position. ... And no one ever noticed this!

Brad is a great instructor! I had a chance to work with him a few weeks ago and have seen tremendous improvements. Keep up the great work 🏌️

I still use old school technigue's and grip aswell club's and still hit straighter than the tour player's and score really good.

Saw one playing like this at the range today. I was just so amazed of how great contact and straight shots he made every time! If i would like to swing like this, will it be like a completely new swing to learn or does it come natural? Why isn’t more players playing like this? Seems quite hard.

How wide are the feet for a wedge?

It's no wonder Arnold Palmer was the greatest and most popular player of his era. His swing was athletic, muscular and sexy. Masculine. He was loved then. And still now.
