How to Swing Your Arms correctly in the Golf Swing.

0:00 [Music] today's video we're gonna talk about the role of the arms in the golf swing which I feel like there's a lot of misconception I'm built around especially in our typical everyday golfer a lot of people when they say they're not hitting it well they say oh I'm all arms and I'm gonna make the argument that actually you're not enough arm so you don't really understand the role of how the arms swing the to them to most of the two most common errors I see regarding the arms is either a I'm using the chest muscles to try to force the arms out in front of the golf swing and so that that usually results in more of a slicing type of a pattern and then

0:46 the other really common one is in an effort to not use not use your arms the player tries to throw their body out and then their arms get way behind and then they have to use their hands to try to try to catch the club up in either case you're really not using your arms it's the lack of being able to actually swing your arms now what actually happens in a golf swing is you transfer energy from your pelvis to your thorax to your arms to the club in a very specific order and each piece needs to speed up and then sequentially slow down to transfer energy to the next piece and so in exercise I want you to do that it gives you a really simple understanding of how to how to feel energy transfer through your body is just a stand up stand up nice and tall like so and let your arms just hang like ropes and then just

1:32 gently start to twist your body back and forth and you'll notice every time you speed up and change directions your arms will lag and then immediately as your lower body score your body slows down your arms start to swing off your swing it swing off and speed up and so that is the L that's how our body transfers energy to our arms so if we're not doing that that we're not learning how to swing our arms now with a golf swing it works with the hands working together the arms working together in front of the body okay so a player that actually is using their arms or we say all arms is actually more using their chest muscles to try to move and then their body has to retreat out of their way to accommodate this rike and then the player that's using their lower body too much is actually

2:17 not making any connection that transfers energy and so the exercise I want to have you all do that copies the golf Cerner emulates the arm swing is to learn how to get the little more activity in your body so you can feel your arms get going okay so what so here's that here's the movement we're gonna go back about Oh three quarters where the arms are roughly parallel and then what I want you to do is I want you to feel like you got a little push in the ground and you feel strong in your core if there's no tension in your body you won't transmit energy okay so that's that's what happens with the hip slider or the hip thrower is that I can move my lower body like this without moving my arms so I got to learn how to kind of connect these muscles around the hips and in the core and then up into the up into the thorax area so I can transmit energy so what I want to see you

3:02 actually do is create a little quick pulse where you feel like you push the ground but you can feel yourself you can feel yourself rotate and you can kind of get that sensation of your you'll feel it in your lead arm if it kind of lags then it jumps ahead of you so it's almost like your arm outraces you now everybody would freak out also you don't want to throw your arms in front your body but if you watch as I'm doing this my lower body actually does keep going but as soon as it slows down it propels my arms forward like so okay and so that's how that's how that's going to work in the golf swing so in review here what I want you to do is I want you to once you get the golf club up here is the same thing can I make practice swings where I feel like I make a poulsen of the ground and get my arms to go fast as opposed to trying to

3:48 throw my body or use my shoulders to move the golf club and if you can start to distinguish the difference between those movements then you've got a much better insight on how you actually create force and more speed in your golf swing and that'll really start to get that golf but the swing the way you all right I hope you all really enjoyed that lesson on how to use the arms please hit that subscribe button and we'll see you all next time [Music] you
