I seem to have a natural drop or loop in my arms at the beginning of the down swing that seems to follow the "bounce catch." It seems that my downswing is on a lower plane than my backswing. It would be the same action if I were trying to skip stones. I recall reading something about this arm drop incorporating a wrist flex (not cupping). Would you please comment on this drop/looping arm motion just after the "bounce-catch?" Luv your work - How about an annual "state-of-the art" video?

@Baliol,

It's important to remember that the arms only move up and down the chest during the swing. There is a natural falling of the arms into the downswing, the only issue would be if the body fails to get out of the way and a crash of the arms into the ribcage occurred. Just work on being aware of getting out of the way of momentum in both directions, gravity will take care of the arms for you. Hope that helps.

Shawn, just a quick thanx. I have your Dvd and have watched all (well nearly all) the youtube videos. I think you are probably the best teacher out there for communicating in this way. Im improving a lot working through your stuff and I enjoy your videos a lot. At the mo Im working on this weight transfer quat-I find it tough to not let it drag my club off plane-but hey, Ill get it. Im gonna do the feet together drill and power sequence until I got it!!!

Keep up the good wiork mate!

One video I just uploaded will really help; it is the "golf pro lesson rhythm" which will give you all the time in the world to get yourself braced against the left side before you swing the arms through; Shawn

after watching several golf videos on youtube, this is by far the most helpful and useful! Thanks! I have to buy that DVD.

That Fred Astaire sure has some great moves Shawn! With you knowing so much about the human body any chance you could start a new series and teach us to dance like him? So when we want to swing hard we forcefully plant the left foot. So is it correct to say when we want to hit a shot 70% that plant of the foot would be less forceful?

awesome..!! explanation

thanks shawn

When the feet are in the traditional position, the centre of gravity of the body will naturally cause the weight to shift inside the right side in the backswing only to shift back to the inside of the left before the backswing completes itself; this is due to the arm swing...if you were on one leg like the one leg swing no weightshift video, the centre of gravity is very different and allows you to swing without shifting any weight...Thanks for the comment!

Combine the one leg swing with the "Golf Pro Lesson Tilted Spiral part 3" video; you are fighting a target perception!

Thanks for the comment and question! Shawn
