Left Arm Straight Exercise Blog

Here is the exercise I was talking about yesterday;

Here I am at address with a dog collar around my left shoulder and I am holding a dog lead that is stretched down and is acting as my left arm.

In the picture below I am at the top of my swing. You can see here the dog lead is stretched tight. I am stretching it with my right arm.

In the picture below I am at the top of my swing with my right arm bent too much, you can see my hand is closer to my head than the picture above. You can also see the lead has gone slack, which is exactly what happens with your left arm.

In the picture below you can see I am just past impact. Again you can see the right arm is stretching the lead (your left arm). This means you can strike the ball better and become a more consistent golfer. It also means you have a better chance of hitting down on the ball. If your right arm is too bent here you will either thin, top or miss the ball.

Improvement Warning!
Only work on this if you want to get better at golf. If you want to stay the same, just keep doing what you are already doing or if you think just by reading this you will improve I am afraid you will be disappointed!

Cheers
