Hi Paul. Is it OK to feel that you are keeping your upper body turned away from the target as your right hip is driving through and round? I have a tendency to pull the ball and this seems to help hitting from the top. I don’t consciously feel my arms but I am deliberately holding them back by allowing the hips to come through first
I don’t necessarily like this because it causes flipping. I just did a tip a few days ago addressing this exact thing. Did you not see it? I would prefer you do it this way:
I think that is one of the most critical feelings to get right. When I get it right the shot feels effortless and goes beautifully straight with perfect trajectory. Just have to convince my brain to do it. I like to have the same feeling on the backswing. The only thing I struggle with is getting full wrist flex at the top. Need to try to solve that problem. But with arms extended on the through swing your body just naturally ends up in the correct finish position. Love that feeling.
You are right. This is one thing 90+ percent of all golfer never do yet they rarely work on it. Truly mind boggling. Once I work with you in person you should see a huge difference in your shots.

MichaelRodrickHi Paul;
If the golf club doesn’t feel heavy,isn’t that more of a grip pressure issue than anything else?

Paul WilsonMichael,
If your grip was too tight your arms would also be too tight.
