arms dont "swing first" they are just a reaction of proper rotation on the way back. first thing moving to the target should be your right hip.. and that is actually moving towards the target on the backswing.

It appears to me that there are alot of different ways to start the downswing, not just one. Maybe we (includes me) sometimes think there is only one way to do something that is the "correct" way. I dont think thats true.

[Evafan133]

There are indeed many different ways. The downswing is merely a chain of reactions triggered by a technique performed by the person swinging, whether it's slightly shifting your weight, or starting with the hands first.

what he means is your arms bring the club down not the shoulders.Yes the left hip starts the downswing,but that is not what he is talking about.(don't swing around with the shoulders)

He's trying to give a good tip about a wonderful drill for slicers. You can't deny that the feet together drill is very useful. Arguing semantics doesn't help hackers; drills help hackers.

[claudius1964]

one of my instructors suggested putting the feet together like that... also if you're tall like me you have to hover over the ball more, getting into a better stance.

"From the top the arms swing first" and "Swing with feet together drill" These two coaching gems have made a big impact on my game over the past few weeks. Thanks HC14

Interesting...is this "arms first" for the driver only? Irons and FW woods being diferent?

[No1Gawlfer]

the drill is a good one. the advice is perhaps leading people to only hit with the arms and hands. actually the drill shows that the hips turn on the backswing brining the arms up and turn again bringing them back down. on the way down you can feel the right point to accelerate and snap the hands through the ball. watch 'fine tuning best golf drill' by shawn clement on u tube. better explanation. ta!

This is the best advise I have had for some time and it works.

Thanks, perhaps now I can start to play better golf again.I will let you know.
