When I first started playing it was the hardest thing to do. Once you're into the position it's just free-flow and trying to swing in rythem takes time to learn ... most people's tendancy is to try and knock the skin off the ball. Try and feel the club falling to the ground instead of around the body. I've heard it said that if you raise your arms and then let them naturally drop to your sides, this is as fast as the golf swing EVER needs to be.

Golfbald calls it the Z position, some "clearing the hips" whatever it's called, it's the same position. Getting into the position is tricky but most people agree that it starts in the legs or lower body. Golfbald says raise the right heel, I may do this, but I feel as though the right knee kicks in and around to the target. This is done at the top of the swing before the backswing is complete (before you stop swing backwards.) The legs pull on the hips, which pull the torso, which pull the shoulders, which pull the arms, which pull the hands, which pull the club.

Have a look at the the great Lee Trevino's swing on the site below ... Of course he's not as young and flexible as he was, but he still has the low right arm action. Also check the angle of his spine throughout the swing - it's the same ... only after the club passes the head does the spine straighten a little, this should only be a reaction.
