The SECRET to straight arms in the golf swing

[@mikecollins4740]

Much the best explanation of this problem and how to cure it that I have seen.

[@WTSPC]

Best video I’ve seen yet on KZbin regarding this issue. Thank you.

[@FrancisFirth]

This video is awesome because it is easy to understand, right to the point, well explained, and provides precise visual images to back it all up. If you search KZbin for materials you want to keep and are often disappointed, this is one to trust, this is one to keep.

Thank you!

[@JPAG0806]

This us very very true!!

[@Golddigger911]

Hi Lukas, this is a superb video. I have been getting tips from KZbin for many years but still suffer from bent arms on the follow through. Your explanation here will go a long way to improving my golf swing, thanks again.

[@birdietraingolf2511]

I´m glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback

[@TedInoue]

Great explanation of this. I've always struggled with keeping the left arm straight. The focus on pushing with the right arm is a great reminder of how to keep a solid impact position.

[@mohanbangera-uw9ug]

You have managed to explain Arm Structure and Swing Technique very simply. I’m got try it. Thanks 🙏👍

[@robertboaman5651]

Nice job explaining a somewhat overlooked aspect of the swing. I've viewed two Birdietrain videos today and both were very well done.

[@wombatfeeder999]

Thank you! I've been trying to force the straight ams lately, and this helps.

[@Arun-qk5zd]

Keeping body straight after follow through looks a very good tip. Will try on ground tommorow 😊

10:52 extension - which muscle group are we using?

[@alanwrigley]

Excellent clear and concise instruction. Thank you

[@pablocurat1122]

Great explanation about body rotation + straight arms in the follow through. Many thanks!

[@Arun-qk5zd]

During back swing, Forcing right arm( trailing arm) not to bend too much keeps left arm ( leading) straight. Great tip.

[@northotagogolf]

Great to have another ST coaching professional on board. An excellent and important video too - cheers Lukas.

[@birdietraingolf2511]

Thank you Alan

[@CDV99]

Thanks for a wonderful, detailed video to help my issue with arm structure! Can you offer any tips on checking the grip or arm position in the setup that would promote good arm structure .

[@birdietraingolf2511]

It is the other way round. You need to know how the arm structure should be in the backswing. Go to this position in the backswing and feel how the hands should grip the club to make this correct position rather easy to achieve. From there go back to the setup.

[@davidmcnamara3243]

Feel that the arms are dead and heavy at the start of the swing and that the right arm stays bent into impact. At transition the traps are fully relaxed and the arms deadfalling, with the same heavy feeling you had at address. Impact, should feel like your hitting the ball, with your chest. Ie with the mass of your body mechanically coupled, to the " very dead arms," falling with gravity.

[@billhrank5327]

@@davidmcnamara3243 You appear to have an excellent understanding of the golf swing and your explanation of the arm feels is quite remarkable.

[@Snipes.21]

These are some amazing tips! Cant wait to try it out!

[@TungNguyen-mx6zd]

Well explained, great drilla. Many thanks

[@1fadeblack]

El mejor video que he visto sobre este tema hasta ahora

[@robertlozano6546]

Well done. Good ideas.

[@championvalery2826]

Hi, thank you for this great video. Is the right arm (and right elbow and right wrist) leading in the follow through in order to extend ?

[@birdietraingolf2511]

You could say so. Extending the left side also helps to straighten the arms

[@andrewhoughton2617]

I’ve been struggling with this exact issue for the full 3 years I’ve been playing. Everything is great until just before impact position and then everything breaks down. I lose height on my backswing through my left knee buckling too muchwhich doesn’t help but I will take this video onto the range and hope it can help me even just a little bit

[@77bovi]

Glad this came on my feed and that I clicked it. Great lesson, very thorough. Personally this mac ogrady style drill you demonstrate is something I have/had been trying. Felt great hitting the ball, low flighted shot that travels about 10y less but its much more consistent to execute vs a full swing. Though when i video myself, arms are still abit bent just past impact and I proceed to cheat and straighten the arms to the finish. Diagnosed the reason myself as my right elbow at p6 is too far from my right hip, perhaps due to bad backswing. Still searching for answers to solve this. 😅 subbed! Keep up the good work 👍

[@birdietraingolf2511]

Glad to hear that!

[@tmunday7270001475143]

Great lesson! Thank you

[@gh50hill1]

Thanks, I think my swing may benefit from this.

[@stevemurphy9727]

I find in order to achieve good impact and extension of the arms, the takeaway and in particular the wrist-cock in the take-away needs to happen correctly. My issue with the takeaway is, my hands go away from me and club head goes behind me, meaning I can’t get in the correct position at the top of the swing to initiate the correct position into impact. It’s a hard cycle to break.

[@birdietraingolf2511]

Sounds like you are rotating the forearms too much. Try to rotate them the other way.

[@lenardtan7169]

Great Advice video tips 😊

[@ahkau4612]

Fantastic

[@ElrondsRanger]

Now we have the "actually better than all english stuff" in english....yeah 🤩

[@PhucNguyen-pp3gb]

thank so much!

[@jcmoye1]

Great video, but you didn’t show releasing the hands. Right hand going over top of the left right

[@birdietraingolf2511]

Thank you! This is not really essential for keeping the arms straight.

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

All the explanation in the world of having straight arms after impact will do nothing if the golfer doesn't have the correct tempo. Chicken-wing is a SYMPTOM of casting the club or throwing it from the top of the backswing; the club is coming through too fast after impact and must be slowed with a chicken wing move. But the imagery in the video can help, the last minute or 2.

[@birdietraingolf2511]

Very true, as I said in the video casting leads to a lengthening of the swing arc. So bending the arms in necessary

[@rudyzooti7159]

Great way to stop the chicken wing!
