actaully the reason his right arm is still bent, is because moved his body properly and it is imposible to bend it and that is where his power comes from, correct postions and weight shift, not strenth. |
That's not quite what he is saying. He shows a number of golfers that bring their arms and hands back to the same position at impact they had at address using the strength in their arms to hold the club back, he shows that others let their arms extend out and up and return the clubface by lifting the spine angle. He explains that the skill to do this by spine lifting is difficult and needs very good coordination. He also suggests that the former creates problems with the tendons and this can later create problems with putting.
I know that many Golfers suffer with elbow and forearm problems like tennis elbow, and get back injuries, many good golfers also suffer with the Yips. I have personal experience that a one plane swing makes it easier to return the arms, hands and clubface back to the original plane and reduces stress on the back and arms.
I think the previous two put downs are not properly addressing the subject matter. As I say I am pretty neutral at the moment but can see that some of the article statements have an amount of merit.
