Always Start With Your Right Arm in This Position

if you're struggling to get consistency with both your driver and your irons maybe you're struggling with distance accuracy consistency of strike have you ever considered what your right arm is doing through the impact area so so important and actually focusing on the ram is actually really very simple and it can make a massive difference to your game now what a lot of people do we'll go into irons in a second what a lot of players are doing is you're struggling with distance and strike it's often because the right arm here is starting to straighten very very early often gets you swinging over the top but from this camera angle you'll also see look it's very it's a very weak position so you're going to lose distance when this starts to kind of lose control with your irons it really affects your level of compression and ball striking so in this video I'm going to give you something super super simple so that you can control this right arm and hopefully increase your distance and the quality of your strike now before I get into the video if you're new to a challenge from your first videos of mine please consider subscribing I release lessons just like this every single week to try and help you improve your game plus you never have to remember the thing I always I download or practice guide in the description box below so what does the right am do what do the best players do well it's really simply look if I was to throw a ball like this you'll see here what do you notice about my right elbow here it's got flexion in it it's heading it's almost leading the wrist here through the impact area this gives me a hugely powerful strike it only then straightens look after the golf ball okay this is what gives you the strike and the power amateur golfers don't do this as opposed to getting into this position here where we then release after the golf ball what's happening is you are probably releasing very very early so your right arm is straight in early and this causes the whole host of problems to get this right we've got to start right so we'll start we set up first and then we'll do the backswing the downswing first thing in setup I'm Gonna Roll Up that's leave for this one when you grip the club when you're right hand what I want you to do is this most people grip it and just do this and here at my right shoulder and my right forearm are all turned inwards look towards this club I don't want that to happen what I want you to do is sit it down here so what I'm going to do is I'm going to literally place my right forearm facing you then I'm going to turn my wrist here to grip the golf club I have now set my right elbow here my right arm in a position which is almost look open the door so that I can now make a beautiful turn simple as that you might with some of my students I'll just set them doing this that alone in a sense gives them that sensation of okay this is where I want to be fantastic that'll be enough right but for most golfers they need a little bit extra so grab yourself some form you don't need a dumbbell let's just an exercise so look at this here this is your backswing element of this right here I am doing a bicep curl okay now watch this I'm gonna start from this angle this way this is the bicep curl now your back swing is basically look you've set your elbow in position I'm now going to do a bicep curl look at the difference most people don't do this most people who are swinging backwards move their right arm in all kinds of weird motions don't need to do that keep it simple set the arm in position and then simply look do a bicep curl my arm's in position here we go roll that back and here look when we're swinging that is your backswing I've set myself up I've done my bicep curl here I'm ready to go so we set ourselves up in a perfect place we've now done the bicep curl now we're in a great place we're setting ourselves up to use that right arm effectively on the way down okay so learn those two things first get yourself in place and then we're going to start to add some flow to this the downswing takes what half a second probably maximum so if the downstairs takes half a second how much time you really got to think you haven't right so I want you to imagine this have you ever been in a pool with your kids or or friends and you've played Splash okay I do this with my kids all the time I want you to imagine uh you're in the pool you're stood in the pool and I'm gonna create a wave of water and my kids are over there and I am going to create this wave of water literally and flood them like this what am I doing here I'm using my right arm look for Power I would never do this okay so these are simple simple visual images that I hope will really really help you start to generate and use this right arm effectively so I'm setting it up in position like this I'm now getting that sense of that the bicep curl here I'm not letting me arm do this or lift up in the air I've got the bicep curl here and now I'm from here just getting a sense of this position here creating a wave of water with my right arm no there's the wave look the whole right side flooding my children let's have a look at this in action and then we'll show you the subtle differences that you're going to make with the irons so that's a pretty decent drive you know 490 yards here at the 18th at Canterbury Golf Club got 150 yards left now controlling your right arm with your irons is probably more important than it is with a driver because we're driving with the bolts heat up if you did straighten your right arm you'll lose distance yes but you could probably still get no care straight because the ball speed up with an iron if you straighten your right arm with the iron now look your right hand the club's going to get very long here you're going to start striking the ground behind the golf ball leading to fats and thin shots the best ball Strikers strike the ball then the ground they do that look by their right elbow naturally staying flexed and the right Ammon Club don't line up until there we after impact okay not before impact look after impact super super important so this is so important with your irons now how do we then transfer this to actually striking a shot very similar to driver all I'm going to do is swing back okay I've set myself in position got my bicep curl and I'm going to imagine creating this wave of water over my kids one final bit that I didn't mention on the T but I will mention here sometimes when people are focusing on trying to get this elbow in position they leave the face wide open okay what you have to do and this is a skill right it's not a quick fix it's a skill you have to develop you've got to get used to look closing the face with the forearms and wrists but not the whole right arm so look at this as I'm creating the wave of water I'm flowing over but I'm not doing this I am rotating it's like firing that water over here look at this firing the water this is so important so yes it's a skill not a quick fix it's a skill we've got to develop so let's have a look at this in action pretty straightforward shot part five actually here like Canary Golf Club so got a great chance to make an eagle pretty damn good you can see here look where the ball was and now I've taken a different after the golf ball I can only do that if I've got that right arm in position so do me a favor really start to work on this right arm set it up in position get your bicep curl and throw that water over those kids now go if you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs
