This video will help you hit the golf ball farther.
There is an important angle in the golf swing called "lead arm adduction," and it is the angle formed between your lead arm and your shoulders. As you bring your club to the top of your backswing, this angle will naturally reduce. But if you compare the swings of great ballstrikers with those of amateurs, you will see an important difference that happens in transition.
What we see with the better players is their lead arm abduction angle actually gets smaller as they start the downswing. Think of it like they are leaving their arms in position at the top even as they start the downswing with the rest of their body... their arms get closer into their chest. This motion stores energy in your arms, giving you a boost in club head speed as they eventually spring through impact. - Спорт

I'm enjoying and improving little by little with your latest videos. Thank you for providing simple explanations and drills that actually work and apply to any swing or stature.
Great video Zach. I stumbled across this feeling by myself not having seen videos on the subject before. I used to pull down with my arms but now I know I'm swinging well when I feel the top of my lead arm stretched across my chest at the transition at the top of my swing.
Amazing video, Zach! Thank you! It has transformed my swing. Been cracking the ball since watching this!
Great video Zach. In all my years playing golf (4 decades), I don't recall ever hearing this. So after watching the video I went out to my back yard and swung the club the way you teach. I noticed I did what you teach without thinking in my practice swing. Also, it would be that way in my normal swing when relaxed, though I could never put my finger on it when actually playing golf what it was that I was missing. I went to the range today with the thought in mind to use this lesson with all the clubs in my bag. I must say, it was phenomenal. My consistency and feel through the golf swing was something I normally don't feel with my irons. It's almost like I have to be patient, trust my swing (and your lesson--where the angle actually gets even shorter in the downswing) and it's just such a wonderful feeling. So just a big thank you Zach, much appreciated.
Awesome tip Zach!! enjoy your videos!!
Hi.....just wanted to say great lesson......watched this video last night.....played this morning implementing this system and what a difference.....I found that it forced me to come down and swivel my body into my stroke..great distance and accuracy...something I wasn't doing or getting before.....shot under 100 For the first time......thank you....
Nice explanation of the left arm adduction process. I couldn't figure out how to and what starts that process. I knew I had to get the left arm leading the downswing but couldn't figure out how to start it. thanks again
i'm glad you got "ABduction and Adduction" correct. golfers pay special attention to details.
I just looked this video up because I was doing this today on the course and was literally smashing the driver straight and far and also hitting my irons further . I would get to the top and swing and leave the lead arm across my chest while turning towards the target in the downswing and made my swing feel much easier and more compact 👍
Hi Zack!! Great video. Thank you!. I noticed on many pros, including your model, that the lead arm seems to be "bent" at impact. Is this an "active/tense" result of pulling up or is it more a "relaxing/release" action, if you understand what I'm asking. As hard as I try I cannot replicate a slightly lead bent arm at impact (without useless stressing that is). Just curious on how can I accomplish this, even if I don't use it. Thanks in advance!!
This works it stops my right shoulder going out, gives me time to sync the leg squat and lay the club off at transition. Also being aware of left arm helps stay in the right route to impact, I go through faster and take more divots, thanks Zach
That said, I loved the following detailed analysis using the modern Technology on modern players like Rory and Rickie. When you watch them, please see how mush their lead arms separate from the shoulders in the middle of the downswing. That's their separate and independent arm speeds. Then see how the stored energy in the core is used to help the independent arms OVERTAKE the body. Thats what, Torquing, swinging and slinging gets you. Not ever TRYING to use your core to push your arms down.
This was good video...this is perfect for the golfer with a substantially high Golf IQ and who is willing to put in a good amount of work...keep doing these...I would like you do one on the release using this technology but use a female golfer like Mo Martin who is extremely efficient and gets the most out of her swing....it would be a good case study on the efficient release.
Corey Mcguire ...and she's short so that would be good to see!
awesome drill it's definitely a drill for someone who is already hitting decent
Great, it also makes clear that the hands do not stay in front of the body, they fold the left arm completely across their chest. In order to do that, does the left shoulder pop up to allow that sharp angle of the arm? I think if you try to keep the left shoulder down you can't fold the arm like that?
i like it for a swing thought to start downswing naturally tucking in right elbow as well
Left arm springs off the chest. I always hit good when the only tension is between my upper left armpit and left chest. With a little added squat to initiate downswing.
I was surprised that this actually works really well. Swing speed is up several mph.
Could you do a 3D image of Cameron Champ golf swing
*Wait Valencia Ca now??? The Hat is there also right?*
Would this work for someone who doesn't have Rory McIroy flexibility? Put on a good bit of muscle during my army years and only started golfing once I got out. Although I've increased range of motion since then, I still don't have the "full" backswing; not being able to get my lead arm completely across my chest.
remmy100 google lead arm adduction stretch, really important to have good range of motion in this area. Big reason why most professionals don’t put on much muscle in the upper body, and why skinny guys like Bubba hit it the farthest.
Went back to hitting with my right arm for power and never should have gotten away from it. I was blasting my shots at the driving range
What do you suggest for a player with a bigger upper body (muscular)? Being that body type, I find my lead elbow breaking down if I try to get too across the chest and still maintain the straight arm. I’m certainly not getting too inside, but I feel like really trying to get that stretch could promote an issue
gfriz I have had students lay face down on their bed, with their left arm underneath them, but across their shoulders slightly to help increase the range of motion their slowly. Definitely an important area to stretch post work out.
I think a simpler way of saying it is that the lower body for a split second should initiate the downswing. It's all in the proper sequencing. Correct?
The arms are still going back when the body is starting forward which creates more speed.
Is you left shoulder elevated at 1:45 ?
Am I right in saying this also flattens the plane?
GEARS data directly contradicts this.
This is TRULY the secret of golf! It's this move and this move ONLY that causes lag to me maintained until impact!
Thanks Zach, I was able to add 10 MPH to my golf swing with this simple move.
Please just so that I understand better: Does this mean I keep my left leading arm more attached (connected) to the chest (across the chest) in the beginning of downswing? Thanks.
I see that Zach didn’t answer, so I’ll help you. There are several videos on YT posted by a golf instructor in the UK, called “Russel Heritage.” He goes in to the downswing sequence and this move in particular, in great detail. Search “Russel Heritage downswing” and you will find several videos that will help you find your answer. Good luck!
@@chadnoswal9243 Thank you Chad.
sounds like you are saying abduction throughout your video?
i think what the magic move is that after a pro gets all the way on their backswing and just before they start swinging down they give a little bump to the left which would make it look like they are swinging the club more closer to their chest but actually its the opposite
Nice job. It isn't called the master accumulator by The Golfing Machine for no reason. John Daly is the only bomber of the ball that I have ever heard say that all he thinks about on the downswing is pulling with the left arm and that the right arm is just there to help support the club.
Homer figured this out 70 years ago.
Looks like the amateur turns his body to move the club keeping his left bicep pressed against the side his chest. This means his hands essentially cannot go past his sternum on his backswing. So, when the amateur turns the left arm angle cannot change because it is pinned to his chest. I have seen many videos where this is encouraged by instructors because they feel it allows for consistency in the backswing. The pros appear to have their left bicep go across their chest above the nipple on their backswing to get more of an angle or have the hands rotate further away. When the pros start their swing the bicep is not tightly pinned to their chest, thus getting the change in angle when they start their downswing. At least that is how it appears to me.
Explain what you are selling for $57 versus the free stuff, I like your methodology.
I have the opposite problem. My arms trail so much and are stuck to my chest that I am completely stuck inside and hit massive blocks and hooks. Help lol
Joe Smith Don’t give up on this concept! One of the keys is to make sure that there is some slack in the system. By that I mean, do not adduct your left arm too much during the backswing. “Save” the adduction for transition when the chest moves into the left arm. Simply pulling your left arm across the chest on the backswing will spoil the effect you are looking to create. In fact, 3D measurement confirms that tour players do not adduct the left arm more than 20 degrees, and that angle includes the number of degrees the left arm is already adducted at address. The trick is to increase the adduction angle by moving the chest via the pivot “into” the left arm, and not merely by moving your left arm across your chest. Good luck!
Great video for folks who have no back problems. If you have back problems you know you can never do this.
This image just popped into my head watching this and thought I would share it.
Imagine a grape glued to the inside of your left bicep. During the transition try to feel you are going to squash that grape using weight shift to the front foot as the left arm and club is still moving back
I'm 17...how far should i be hitting each club?
juan abarca Hey Juan. There’s no real answer to your question. I’ve seen many good junior golfers over the years who hit it long. Like 270m drives and 150m 8 irons. But it depends on where you are in the game. And your flexibility and speed. Sounds like you may be just beginning, so maybe focus on the straight part (control) and worry about length later. You’ll save heaps of shots working on chipping and putting too. An average B grade golfer probably hits a 9 iron around 120 metres and a 5 iron 160metres. Driver 220metres. This is in metres and very approximate...
3 further than 4 and 4 further than 5 and so on
You might want to look at Gears data and re-assess your view on this. Lag is not arm lag. Lag is the club lagging from head to butt end. Take a look at this, it will help you understand what adduction is and how the pros actually do it. ua-cam.com/video/4FllwDHWGxk/v-deo.html
Can this only be achieved by the golfer moving to his left as his swing reaches the top? Achieving Newton’s law of equal and opposite reaction…
That looks right just dont overexaggerate it. I like getting the right elbow getting in front of me
I don't understand the negativity here. The advice is sound but it is NOT SIMPLE. The tip about the right elbow (for a right hander) staying in front of the torso is key....another way would probably be to keep the elbows as close to each other as possible.
OMG too much to think about.
Gene Moretti One of the main reasons people run from the game. This makes it sound like homework instead of fun.
Gene Moretti - You know what I have found it isn't much to think about once you get the "feel" of a good clean powerful shot. Obviously we are not able to pull it off every time, but we will be able to get ourselves straightened out as we are playing. You can feel the difference between your good shot and crappy one.
Not at all. Left bicep up to chin/chest. Keep it there for a split second in transition. Feels powerful as all hell. Like you’re hitting the ball with your entire body. Not just your disconnected arms.
Thanks, just pulled my shoulder out of its socket
Gerardo Resendiz - Obviously golf movements that cause injury are totally taboo if we want to have longevity! What happened when you hurt your shoulder? How long did it take (how many shots)? Did you have the shots on "kill"?
Million dollars' worth pose
Great way to initiate the downswing with the upper body from the top. A no no.
I agree Harold...WTH did he get that Zach was suggesting starting the downswing from the top?😂
My way is much simpler. When I want to hit my 9 iron farther, I grab my 8.
I’m not sure what he’s trying convey
Not a fan of this. The players who do this have their right elbow behind the right hip which causes an active release and rolling of the hands for most golfers. Its good if you want to struggle with your timing. And I dont even think it gives you more distance anyway
"Turning into his lead arm using the ground properly." Holy sh** what the heck did I just watch?
I'm afraid that initial demonstration would be disastrous for any average golfer to adopt as it would only encourage them to feel like it's ok for the upper body to push the arms down at the transition. The ONLY upper body motion that moves the arms at the start down must ONLY be the result of the lower body TORQUING the upper and even then, that can only influence the arms if the golfer has made the type of backswing we see this gentleman making here, that is to say, the left arm is UNDER the chest. Most average golfers will always do better and get better by turning first in the backswing and then lifting their arms above their shoulders. Separate and independent arm speed (aided by the core that songs then through impact) will always be the better option. Arms, body yes. Bod, arms...big problems. One persons view.
This is mis-information. Most pros have less adduction of the left arm across their chest, and amateurs have too much. See the second half of this video which uses GEARS tracking software - ua-cam.com/video/4FllwDHWGxk/v-deo.html
You are wrong.
This is next level stuff...it’s going have amateurs slicing like mutherfuckers if the try it though.
I hate to be a critic but you shouldn't use words like abduction and adduction (your title says "ADDuction" but you always said "ABDuction" in your video) if you don't know what they are.. The action you are describing is neither adduction nor abduction in correct anatomical terminology. By definition adduction is lowering your arm towards the body in the coronal plane, and abduction is raising your arm away from the body in that same coronal plane.
If anyone talking to me about the golf swing uses an obscure word like "adduction" , automatically, my ears stop hearing and my legs start heading toward the nearest exit. This is for golf tech geeks only. Every video that has one of these clods should be labeled, "Dangerous to Your Health" and "Will Make You Worse Not Better".
He explained what the word meant. Being stupid is not a way to go through life.
Strange...the golf course looks just like Burbank.
William Schultz true
Very bad move for amateurs as their upper body and shoulders will spin out and arms will get stuck behind them.
Yup, the last thing that most ams need is to get the left arm tighter at the top. Right elbow behind the body is the real fault, not 'coming over the top'.
Getting stuck is a “better player’s problem”. Most recreational golfers have far more trouble casting and coming over the top. This is a great drill to address these problems.
They will focus on their arms too much when adduction is naturally caused by proper swing technique, or proper sequence , which is that the body starts to unwind first and then arms catching up and overtaking.
I agree. Trying to do this consciously will just cause all sorts of timing issues. I think its fairly well known that with good golfers, the downswing starts before the back swing completes. To me this is a natural response to having very little tension in the torso, arms and wrists and not something that can consciously be done.
I understand this but I'm not going there !!
If you want to get better don't listen to this video
Thumbs down....I can't believe the stuff being pettled on some of these channels....
Most amatures can't even get their lead arm stretched (with wrist set) at the top, much less sequence the correct move(s) back to the ball with sufficient Timing and Rythym.
The demonstrated pros in this video work extensively with personal trainers to achieve the flexability and strength to be able to produce the maximum rotation needed.....
Pay for your video services?....Pleeeeeaze!
