Re: arms during backswing

Very well said. I've been struggling with this for a long time. Never got my hands high enough and they ended up going outside the body. I always got this impression that if I lifted my arms any higher, I would be hitting too steep.

Now I do allow myself to lift them higher and the shots have been better. But I still worry sometimes that I might be coming in too steep with the longer clubs as a result. Any guidelines on this? Thanks!

You can have all the width in the backswing, but w/o height, you have only move the hands 3 feet from the ball and they lack a good shoulder turn in the backswing.

My Thoughts and Teachings:

I know many will disagree, but I do not need to agree with the many when I can see the results.

1. Let's obtain the heigth and then we can add the width or depth into the swing or a conmbination of therefore. When we have done it in that manor we have freed the shoulders to turn freely in both the backswing and forward swing.
