In a perfect golf swing, the arms keep close contact with the upper body and cooperate effectively. In the swing, the arms start almost at the same time as the shoulders. In the rest of the swing, the left arm is neither too tightly attached to the chest nor excessively stretched or far away from the body.

However, such effective coordination of the arm and body is not easy to accomplish. The swing arc formed by most golfers is either too narrow or too wide, which ultimately leads to a lack of continuity in the shot. The British PGA professional coach John Hoskinson provides some effective suggestions to golfers, which will help you maintain the connection between your left arm and front chest during the swing, thereby forming a sustainable swing.

Preliminary posture: Point your elbows to your hips, and keep your elbows pointing to your hips during the rotation of the pole; if your hands stand up your wrists too early, your right arm will begin to fold, causing your left arm to move horizontally in front of your chest, and finally leave your left arm away. The body is too close; if the swing arc is too narrow during the upswing, it is difficult for the golfer to create space during the downswing to complete a sustained shot.

"One-piece" starter: In order to form a stable swing arc, the one-piece starter is very important; in a good preparation position, the bottom end of the cue grip should point to the spine, and as the lift progresses, the bottom end of the grip Keep pointing to the spine; in the one-piece lift, the left and right arms are kept straight and there is no hand movement.

Upswing: Don't deliberately stand up your wrists. As the upswing progresses, your wrists should stand up naturally. If the wrist does not stand up automatically, pay attention to check the right leg. If the right leg moves horizontally or backwards too much in the upper pole, this indicates that the hip is too rotated, which will cause the wrist to stand up too late, and the swing arc formed is too wide .

Therefore, the right leg should limit the excessive rotation of the upper body and allow the wrist to flip in time; as the wrists are erected, the upward kinetic energy of the club will pull the arms to the apex of the upperswing. Note that the right elbow is still pointing to the right hip. ; If the left arm is brought too close to the front chest, the right elbow will be forced to bend, causing the right elbow to rise; if the left arm is turned too far to the outside of the body and away from the body, the connection between the left arm and the front chest will be lost. The arm may not be able to keep up with the movement of the body when levering.

Practice tips: John Hoskinson’s practice advice to golfers, many golfers may have seen it for a long time, that is, put a towel or glove under both armpits and perform a 3/4 stroke. Try to complete the wrist stand. This kind of exercise can only perform 3/4 of the upper rod, because the arms need to move freely in the back 1/4 of the upper rod to reach the apex of the upper rod, then the towel and gloves will fall from the armpits.
