  • In this video, Mike Pitt teaches your the most optimal trail arm position during the backswing. The trail arm is very important for creating connection between the body and hands. Some may think that a higher trail arm can create more power in the swing, which may be true BUT the golfer will need to reroute the club way more! The name of the game is to create efficiency in your swing without losing distance.

      Now you've done the right elbow might as well do right wrist and release

      I have a problem with my lead knee buckling which causes my upper body to dip towards the ball, how could I stop from doing that?

    In my humble opinion, this is the best explanation/demonstration of what the right arm/elbow should be doing during the swing that I have ever seen. Ben Hogan is likely smiling right about now - bravo Mike!

    I love what you said about external rotation. I've watched almost all of your videos and the move that finally fixed my over the top baseball swing was externally rotating my trail arm during the set. It locks in the slot and allows me to move everything as one unit from the set to the top and back down again. Truly the path to the least amount of manipulation!

  • @netiratsoithong9031

    Thank you for video. It is clear for the trail arm position in backswing. However, if you set up the left arm (elbow pit turn upward to the sky) as in the minute 9.52-9.53, it is easy to achieve such trail arm position in the backswing.
    However, i have tried your drill in actual swing with normal left arm setup( elbow pit turn away from target or turn downward). I cannot achieve the desire trail arm position because The left arm push both right arm and right elbow out from the position. Please advice how to manage left arm as per the actual setup.

    • @GolfPitt
      @GolfPitt  3 місяці тому

      Everyone is a little different on left arm but it sounds like you need to be like hogan with both arms giving blood! Or in your words the elbow pits sky! Of you keep those funny bones close together in the backswing your hands will stay in front of you body, one of best connecting thoughts in golf. It’s the famous hogan picture with his arms wrapped together!
      Thank you for watching!

    Hi Mike, Adam talks a lot about a dominant left arm in the downswing. It would be very interesting to be more detailed about it. Thank you and greetings from bavaria 🍺

  • @rogerwhite7719
    @rogerwhite7719 16 днів тому

    Only if you use a side on grip. If you’re a side cover or on top grip golfer, your elbow will be behind your ribcage-aka Jack Nicklaus and Scottie Scheffler. We don’t all move in the same manner. You don’t have to believe me, ask Mike Adams or Terry Rowles.

    Do you exert force from the arms during the down swing? Or try to keep the grip pressure constant throughout the swing , say 4/10 grip pressure? I have the tendency to always use more force from my arms during the down swing, probably the wrong mindset that “more force = more distance” but instead should think “efficiency > power”

    Subbed, great instruction. Have been wanting more controlled speed. Learned to keep the ball on the planet with the trail arm glued against ribcage like Hogan says but dropped some club head speed. Conversely when trying to mirror tour swings previously, the trail arm was getting stuck behind - has lead to OTT hitting pulls with short irons, low pull hooks off the tee. Looking forward to testing this.

    • @GolfPitt

      Thanks for the sub! So happy you found the page! This drill will certainly create a feeling to help you keep a more connected trail arm in front of the right side of your body in the backswing!
