Left Arm Position - Golf Back Swing Drill

Hi, Dave Cahill here with Cahill Golf. This is a follow-up video to The Golf Back Swing Drill specifically talking about the left or target side arm position at the top of the back swing.
Take your stance: place the heels about 12 inches apart.
Hold the left arm out in front of the body and parallel with the shoulder. The left shoulder line is very important. Then place the right arm in position on the grip. The shaft will be parallel with the ground.
Next, Cock the wrist straight up. The club shaft is now perpendicular to the ground or pointing straight up.
Now lay the club back at right angle to the left arm so that it is parallel with the ground. This puts the wrists in the correct position.
Keep your eyes looking straight ahead while turning or rotating the hips and shoulders back as much as possible.
Looking over the left shoulder, bow over into address position. You will notice the left arm is exactly in line with my shoulder line. This ends up being very important on the way down. Because now, the club comes down exactly on line. cahillgolf.com
