Good idea. Tried to get the feel of body turning silent arms last night as you demonstrated here. Hit ball much better today. I think you are onto a theme upon which to build.
Thanks again.

Hallo Paul
I tried to feel the powerless arms but I never got it whatever I tried. During the downward move into the impact area I feel tension in my arms. The only way to feel my arms powerless is by letting them fall due to gravity with or without a club in my hands. Is this the right feeling?
Choosing between regular and stiff shafts for your golf clubs depends on several factors, particularly your swing speed and how you typically hit the ball.
1. Swing Speed
Stiff Shaft: Ideal for golfers with faster swing speeds, generally around 90-105 mph with a driver. If you hit the ball far and fast, a stiff shaft offers better control and accuracy.
Regular Shaft: Suited for golfers with swing speeds around 80-90 mph. If your swing is more moderate, a regular shaft helps generate a bit more distance and power.
If you’re in between or unsure, you might want to get fitted at a golf store or test both types on the course to see which feels better for your swing.

Paul WilsonFor sure. But you do not want your arms to be floppy. Check out this tip:

VUZKAPURHi Paul
Not trying to hit from the top has helped. Because we are swinging easy is it better to have regular flex shafts over stiff?
