Hi Glen, this straight arm technique is not one for seniors lacking mobility in the back and hips and ones that cannot make a fuller backswing. A slight bend of the elbow (not a collapse of the elbow) provides a fuller backswing and a more relaxed and tension-free swing. Tension in the arms and hands are a swing and distance killer. Golfers of all ages tend to watch and emulate professional golfers with a variety of swing styles and walk off the course frustrated with their game as well as sore neck, back and hip soreness. JMHO. 🇨🇦👍👨🦳
Thank you for your comments Richard. We agree, as mentioned in the video, tension is detrimental to performance. However, we would much rather you achieve a fuller backswing by allowing your lead heel to come off the ground, rather than collapse the lead arm. Cheers Glen
@@AussieGolfProsGlen, I totally agree with lifting the lead heel slightly to improve a backswing. I also agree with the idea of “ NOT keeping the head down through the forward swing”.🇨🇦👍👨🦳
Love the tips, great for a high handicapper like myself 🙌
Thanks Daniel
Hope you’re enjoying your travels!
thanks Glen
Cheers Ian
Hope you’re flushing ’em!

Awesome video, I’ve video my swing and I have a bend towards the end. Is that ok? My speed is still good
Yes Wayne, as long as it’s only a little.
