| Re: Which arm controls and powers the swing? I'd like to throw this into this discussion. But first I agree that there is no real, correct answer. I am a puller, since I like more control, than distance.
Now to add to the discussion. Does anyone think that there are more right handed wrist/elbow injuries for the right handed player who pushes with the right side through impact, and does not pull with the left side? Here is my reasoning.
The leading edge of a iron is designed to cut into, and through what ever surface the ball might be resting on. (except concrete obviously) Dirt, or grass will give. It is my belief that those who push the club through impact with their trailing hand will suffer more harmful impact pressure to their hand, and arm joints than those who pull through impact with their front, target side. Over time those who push their club, at some point are going to develope some physical problems in their joints. If you pull the club through impact your left, lead hand is already in position to bend backwards, more so than a pushing right, trailing hand. Of course if you are lucky. and good enough player to play off premium, soft fairways all the time, it probably make little difference. GJS |
