Golf Leading Arm Connection with Chest - Golf Lesson

In a perfect golf swing the body arms and elbows remain connected for consistent golf shots. Hit crisp irons and long drives with a simple connected swing.

In order to consistently arrive at the impact position with proper alignment and sufficient club head speed, it is critical to maintain a solid connection between the leading arm and the chest.

Each and every champion golfer has an individualized swing, but one thing that stays the same is the relationship of the leading arm with the chest through the impact zone.

How to develop rhythm and proper sequence in golf: In a perfect golf swing the arms works in harmony with the upper body. The lower body drives the swing and the upper body responds to the rotation created by legs and hips. In order to consistently maximize the resistance and the torque generated during the down swing, it is absolutely necessary to maintain a proper relationship between the leading arm and the chest.

Takeaway: This first move which is considered a fundamental in golf is the first link in the chain of golf. At this stage everything moves together—shoulders, arms, hands and a very slight shift of the hips and legs.

The relation of the leading arm is absolutely critical. Your leading arm rests slight over the chest (not on the side of the chest), with the elbows pointing towards the side pockets. As the shoulders start to turn the arms stay connected and react in a (synched) move with the upper body.

For some golfers this first move away from the ball is extremely difficult to carry out and most golfers create a swing arc that is too narrow or wide. Follow these simple drills to practice a swing where the left arm remains connected to the chest.
