One of the most common things golfers tell me on the lesson tee is that their swing feels disconnected, or like they are "all arms." In today's lesson I'm going to show you a simple drill that will take the arms out of your swing and give you effortless power... instead of powerless effort.
By keeping the arms quiet, steady, and connected to the big muscles of your hips and torso you can generate a ton of power while simplifying the golf swing.
We'll talk about one of the most famous images from Ben Hogan's teaching, and give you an easy drill to put it to work in your swing.

I've worked with golfers of all ages and levels, from 4-year-old beginners on up through touring professionals. My students have included nationally-ranked juniors, touring pros, celebrities, and CEOs, but wherever you're at on your golfing journey, my goal is always the same... to help YOU play your best golf!
I started playing competitive golf at a young age, ultimately reaching #3 in the California junior golf rankings - just behind another promising young golfer named Tiger Woods. I also played collegiate golf at the University of Southern California and professional golf on the Omega Asian Tour.
I work with students in-person at my studio in Valencia, CA, and teach golfers all around the world through my UA-cam channel and on my website: ballstrikingblueprint.com. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a comment if you have any questions or would like to get in touch! - Спорт
I have Hogan's book "5-Lessons" but never fully comprehended the passive arms he describes which you now have clarified. What a great explanation you provided.
There are so many great nuggets in that book.
First instructional video I've watched from start to finish for a long time. Great presentation / explanation.
Awesome, thank you!
Great warm up tips
Excellent video.
Thank you, this explanation has really helped me. Arms together, brilliant.
Glad it helped!
Great video.. Great drill ...
Great little drill for beginners and advanced. Adding this to my warm up and stretching. Thanks Zach. (came back to say this. My oblique's, core, calves, and quad's feel like I just worked out. Zach this is amazing.)
Glad you liked it!
Well done. Great explanation of Hogans book. Really the golf swing has been over coached and broken down in pieces. Zach has a great simple approach with his work.
Thanks appreciate the great compliment
Had a lot of money games at your coarse back in the 90's when I played on the GOlden State Tour. Am 80 now and can still shoot my age but love your videos. I played and taught out of the Hogan book next to Mike Austin at Studio City. Thanks.
Man that is awesome, I’m sure you have seen alot in all those years of playing and coaching. Would love to get together and chat sometime.
I've worked very hard on keeping the connection between my elbows like the picture of Ben Hogan in his book that you showed. It takes practice because you have to maintain a "loose" feeling in your wrists, but still kinda pull in the elbows. It really can be a game changer for so many people. Thanks for this really great information here.
Boy, you are so correct, really important to not firm up everything.
this is brillient so concise and simple thank you coach
For sure, I love simple
Excellent merci beaucoup

So preciously good and right
Thanks glad you like it.
Spot on.
Thanks
I have an old copy of Ben Hogan's book with that drawing in it! I have read this book so many times 🙂
It is truly a classic. So far ahead of his time.
My question is how do you bring it back any further than the distance shown in the exercise or in the video to get to the top of swing and still feel connected? It seems like once I try to finish bringing the coub back, that I lose all that feel of connection. Like i cannot keep the elbows attached to the sides of my body as I bring the club back any further to complete the backswing and then bad things can start to happen at the top cause I am now disconnected.
You may consider noting that one should use “ground forces” (the feet and legs) to move the hips and torso to swing the kettle bell. You have already posted instruction on what ground forces are and how to use the feet and lags access them.
You are exactly right, so important to use the lower body while doing this. The added weight of the kettle bell makes it almost automatic .
Love your videos and love this drill. Just a word or warning, after doing a tonne of weighted drills it will throw your balance off when u get a club in your hand.
Definitely a different feel
Left wrist supination takes care of keeping the arms together and flattening the swing. Most modern pros do this and square the club face with body rotation. There is also a feeling hitting down on top of the ball driving it into the ground. All the best ball strikers had this feeling even though it is not what is actually observed in the swing. This is what allowed Hogan to go from hooking the ball to fading it and the real secret to his swing. Look at how Hogan and Trevine really hit down on top of the ball with their short irons and you'll get it...
Stay connected, easier said than done.
Give it a shot with some small swings first , bet it might surprise you.
I've seen a video that showed that Mr. Hogan actually did not keep his elbows pushed totally together. They were turned in but not to their max as shown in his illustrations
You are exactly right. I think he got to a point where his arms were so conditioned to swing the club back exactly right, he no longer needed to preset his arms in this fashion. But in his books he shows how learning in this fashion is really beneficial.
What do you think about using a 10 or 15 pound dumbbell holding it with a golf grip with your arms placed in the position you are showing in the video ?
That sounds like a great idea, the added weight should help to ingrain the right muscle memory.
Zach, do you ever teach on Saturdays?
Yes I do teach Saturday afternoons.
Great!! I thought I saw on your website that you don't. Does your website allow to schedule a Saturday appt, ot show I contact you a differently?
Amazing how much negativity in response. Very useful video lesson. Thanks.
Would this apply for drivers too ?
For sure, would be a great part of your full swing routine.
I play golf pretty much every day and I have never, never heard anyone say that stuff you started with, you're on another planet mate
You never heard of an armsey swing?
Plays on Xbox
100% correct and I agree
Never read Ben Hogan's "Five Lessons, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf"?? Published 1957 (I have an old library copy, de-commissioned in 1984...), but still relevant today. Jason Dufner discusses here Ben Hogan's book: ua-cam.com/video/Y_VYSX5zRLU/v-deo.htmlsi=iQnuiT5oSy0fLs0g 🤩
Don’t let a small detail ruin a great story; he’s an excellent instructor. Tiger says we shouldn’t even be on here, so go get one. Valencia?
Before I express my thoughts, I'm not a pro golfer or an instructor. I started playing golf at age 45. In the past 28 years I have played a lot of golf and practiced for hour each week. I've watched numerous instructional videos, read most golf books and read magazine articles. I've gone from scoring about a 100 to now averaging low to mid 80s. I've broken 80 several times playing 6,000 yard courses. This is MY thoughts on the arms in the swing. Firstly, Hogan's book illustrations are extreme exaggerations. If taken literally, they most likely will cause golfers to fail. I believe the arms and shoulders should be fairly soft. The arms should pretty much just hang from the shoulders. The rotation of the hips and torso without restricting the lower body will move the arms. The momentum that occurs from this will cause the arms and the club to move correctly. Elbows will bend at the correct time without any attempt to manipulate. Supple wrists will release as required without any manipulation. Watch video of Hogan swinging. His arms are not forced close together. Much of the time his elbows don't point downward. They point slightly behind him. His arms are soft and move with his rotation.
I think most of what you are saying is spot on, But Hogan himself explains how he got to the point that you are describing. He needed to first preset his arms, to train them to move consistently in the backswing. And then at some point it was no longer needed his arms were trained, and he did not have to preset them.
I agree. Thanks!
@@ZachAllenGolf
I usually use my legs to grip & swing the club
I’m just not that flexible to touch my elbows
Most people are not, however it's not a necessity, as long as you can maintain that distance during the swing.
I wish all of the pro’s on these video’s would just the point. Less words is better.
Good point, but too long and repetitive
compare your shoulder and mr hogan. you are doing it wrong
Feel free to elaborate.
Why do so many take so long to make a simple ( and good) point?
Why tell us everything wrong first, we get tired of hearing all the errors first just tell us what’s right instead of ingraining the errors….
An octopus falling out of a boat? OUTOF A TREE AND YOU STOLE THAT LINE FROM A GREAT MAN SO, GOODBYE.
His lower body was really unstable too, had to improvise.
talk too much
Next time I’ll do a video with no talking 🤡
