| Here's the quote directly from his new book:
"If you suffer from this [arms thrown too far in front of body] outside-in downswing, the key to correcting it is to improve the movement of your right forearm at the very start of the downswing. Try to keep the right elbow in the position it was in as your reached the top; in other words, keep it up and behind you, while you lower your right forearm (and your left arm with it, since both hands are holding the club). Lowering your right forearm while keeping the right elbow up and behind instead of throwing them will put your hands on the inner circle very close to a spot just below your right pant pocket.
A split second after you drop your right forearm, as you enter impact, start to bend your left elbow to the left, keeping it tight against your chest."
All the while, you are rotating your shoulders, too. The shoulders still are the power behind the swing, but this peice of advice is for people like me, who always liked to get their arms extended when playing baseball or softball and can't seem to stop ourselves from trying to do the same thing with the golfball.  |
