GREETINGS COACH WOW this tip is going to require watching several times to grasp it all. GREAT Of all the things I am working on this winter the biggest challenge is keeping my head down till my shoulder pushes it out of the way.I am making progress ,it has been a problem for a long time . Again great video
Once you get that you should be hitting it a lot more consistent which will surely help. Keep in mind you are looking because you are hitting. The more you turn your arms off the less you will look. Stay loose.
Paul, I seem to learn a lot more with this comparison technique, especially the video before this showing the leg positions. I feel a much better brace going back with my back leg at the right angle.

Hi Paul – quick question. I am a 2 handicap but sometimes when my swing gets off my arms seem to trail behind my body on the downswing. The faster I swing the more the arms get behind the body which results in pulls or really weak fades. Any ideas for fixing this? I’ve been working on the thought of keeping the top of my left arm pinned to my chest and keeping the left armpit tight to the body in order to help keep my arms in front of my body.
Getting ahead of it is you firing the lower body way too hard. I would check any kind of slide as well. Better players typically slide. Anytime you see a shot like this you need to slow down. It’s telling you that you are going too hard. If you want to specifically work on more power you need to do this first:
You don’t need to keep the arms against the chest. I guarantee at your level their is not a problem with that. You are just driving a little too hard and/or sliding. You should be able to fix this in no time. Hopefully, you know my touch the legs position and have it perfect.

Paul WilsonDon,
The are certainly informative. Just list the parts you feel you have to work on and master them 1 at at time. If you do you would build a great swing.
