Great video and I've found this drill helpful. Another way to feel quiet arms is to try and keep your back to the target as the lower body starts the downswing sequence. Find that always adds a couple MPH to the swing with smooth tempo. Arms are almost along for the ride and the club face stays nicely on path with plenty of lag so hands release later.
Outstanding video!! Just what the doctor/insructor ordered. Can’t wait to start the exercises. Is this the same for irons as well? Thanks from North Florida.
What are the wrists doing if the arms are not involved (shut off) in the downswing? Does grip pressure change, or should it stay at the same pressure you have at address?
I must have this problem. I hit the ball as hard as I can and can only generate 140 mph ball speed (220Y carry). My longest drive was when I produced 147 mph ball speed but I didn't swing it any faster on that occasion, so I must be doing something wrong with my power.
@@jchowngolf That’s a half understanding of the mechanics and patently untrue. You cannot create meaningful speed without engaging the arms. Period. This is the stuff that gets people confused. Someone in an upper body cast with no shoulder mobility wouldn’t be able to hit the ball anywhere. It’s the full sequence. You have to use your legs, core, arms, and wrists to generate speed.
Thats incorrect, the arms will only go out with excessive early chest rotation, or a lack of hand and arms depth. The hands will always have a downward move via tilt through the simple fact of the ball being on the ground.

Another great vid Johno. This one will resonate with many and if done properly, tons of effortless power is a given. 🎉
Thanks Hitesh!
Dedication...filming in the rain. Good video Jonathan. If I get out of sequence with my arms, I usually get a heel strike and a weak slice. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed the video! The rain never stops the show haha

How do you shut the arm off? I tend to grip the club tighter since it feels heavy

Prefect
Are you saying to use the body to swing the arm? No power at all from the arm? Are you just guiding the arm down with no power from them?
Body swings the arms in the downswing 👍🏼

My opinion is that arms must go DOWN as body rotates. If golfer try to leave hands without action body rotation bring arms immediately out to in path.

Thanks bud!
