SLOT IT! The ROLE of the TRAIL ARM!

- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2023
- In this video, I explore the TRAIL ARM's role in your swing for increased speed and ease.
We begin with GRIP fundamentals. A proper grip is crucial for efficient club positioning. Weak grips often lead to an open club face.
Next, we address your SET UP. Most golfers align LEFT to compensate for an open club face, it’s a familiar pattern for SLICERS and SHORT hitters! To unlock your TRAIL HIP's mobility, simply FLARE the TRAIL FOOT and align your lower body more to the right. These SIMPLE adjustments will have you making a better turn immediately!
External rotation of the trail elbow at address is vital. It should point DOWN in the backswing towards the TRAIL HIP, a key to transitioning smoothly.
With an optimal setup, you improve your chances of a square club face and an on-plane swing. Focus on generating depth with your TRAIL HIP, assisted by the flared trail foot. An alignment rod placed at an angle behind the ball or a head cover will help encourage an inside-out swing path.
With these SIMPLE adjustments, you'll soon hit the ball farther with less effort.
Keep working at it!

This is gold. All
The most important principles put together.
Thanks Justin! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Golf instruction has really improved in the years that I have been trying to figure out the mystery. Watched your recent video and the light bulb shown forth . Your instruction was a tremendous relief to my back. Keep it simple.😀
So glad it helped!! Thanks for the comment! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Another fine video. The back to the target as long as possible then let things happen naturally has helped me tremendously. Takes almost all tension out of the swing. Great instruction as always.
Thanks Les!! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew, thanks. This is exactly what the area I've been working on. Really well explained, and encouraging!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Another winner Andrew, there's 5 of us practicing your elbow drill in the bar , waiting for the Ireland v new Zealand game lol
Hilarious!! Have a Guinness, watch some Rugger, and get after it!!!
Coach A. 🍻⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Awesome. Lol. 😂
Thank you Coach, you have explained the swing as few have, I am so glad that I found your channel!
Thanks for watching! And, welcome aboard!! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Beware of the golf commercials from Peformance golf in front of his videos. You buy a product and they automatically attach a monthly subscription to your purchase and hope you don't realize it. It's in very small print at the bottom of the product order form. If a ad saids Performance golf on it...I 've learn to stay far away from that company. On a lighter note.... Andrews videos are always excellent.
Thanks for posting this! Wonderful, thoughtful lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great video with good explanation as usual. I am a mid handicap, older golfer but have the opposite problem to most people with my handicap i.e. too much draw. When playing well the ball starts to the right and draws back nicely, but when its bad I have lots of hooks, fats and thins. Much of the instruction on RUclips is for slicers/faders - it would be good to see a video of yours with what you regard as some of the key issues for golfers with the opposite problem. Although this particular video had quite a lot of material not relevant to me, I still enjoyed it as it helped to deepen my understanding. Thank you.
Glad you liked the video! This should fix your left miss, push, fat, thin (All the same swing!). Gotta steepen you, pull fade (feel), change your start line!
Get after it! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

"Arms pulling my body through the golf shot." I'll have to remember that. Not a slicer, just a short hitter. Fantastic videos. Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching! Glad you like the channel. Welcome aboard!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
thanks a lot! you are really the best, amazing video like all you I watched from you! thanks again for sharing your knowledge
You're very welcome! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Excellent instructions. I recommend doing this over and over. I had an over the top swing. As I started to get more from the I side my striking got worse. Very frustrating. But I kept going back to it and slowly I started to strike it well. Now it feels comfortable coming from the inside. This has taken me 2 yrs to get better. Not a quick fix. Thanks for the video.
Perseverance pays off for sure!
Thanks for watching! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Very good information- need to put it to use - all winter to practice- thanks
Sounds like a plan!! Thanks for watching! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Thanks for the common sense instruction, hoping for a pain free season.
I hope so too!! Welcome aboard!
Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Great tips
Thanks Tony!! 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
love your channel Andrew simple instruction very very helpful have you done any videos on shaping shots lots on a perfect draw anything on a fade ? keep up the good work!
This is a hook fix video!! Works perfect for fades :) Cheers! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻

your instruction is the best on youtube....count me a fan...i ama 2 cap and your tips have mostly taken the slice out of my driver. now it's slight draw or fade now. thx
Thank you sir for the kind words! I’m so glad my channel is having a positive impact!
Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
well deserved praise. where do you teach? is that an aussie accent?@@AndrewEmeryGolf
Subscribed to your channel today. I'm 76 and barely hitting my 8 iron 150 - hoping your advice in this video can get me another 10 yards...great job in breaking this down into small elements.
Welcome aboard Cliff!! I’m confident that you’ll reach your goal. Get after it!
Best, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
So when you were 16 did you hit your 8 iron only 210?
@@lifesaver3499 No...I didn't start playing golf until my mid 40's. At that time I hit my 8 iron about 135 - 140. The 150 I get today is likely because the loft of the clubs have changed dramatically. Today's 8 iron is like "yesterday's 7 iron. Make sense? Bottom line...no matter how old you are, it seems like you're always looking for a little more distance. Just glad I'm in good enough shape to play this great game!
Great instruction lesson tips
Glad it was helpful! ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Just discovered and subscribed to your channel, great tips.
Welcome aboard! Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf thank you Sir! I’m 61, mid HP golfer trying to find my long lost distance, 230-240 is a good drive for me these days. Look forward to more videos.
Cameron Champ is the longest Driver on the PGA Tour. He also has the fastest hands and arms! Get after it! A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
I'm 78 years old.

That’s great!! Played some golf in Midland Texas in my playing days, a lot of wind a greens like glass!! Thanks for watching!

Thx for this video Andrew! Would a good thought be that the right arm is being thrown behind you or backwards at the beginning of the downswing?
Absolutely!! The golf swing is a slinging motion in an incline plane! Your body will react dynamically despite the “feel” of using your trail arms sooner!!
Thanks for watching!
Best, Coach A.🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
A lot of the golf instruction these days harps on about letting the arms in the downswing drop through gravity, not being physically dropped. Do you go along with this, Andrew, or do you advocate physically moving the arms in the downswing?
Hi Judith! Great question - Linear Force will always out race gravity! Dropping your arms from above your head to the lowest point at your side using gravity if you’re 6ft tall with 3 ft long arms will peak at just under 14mph.
Peak arm speed in golf is at approx the hands lowest point PRIOR to impact (just past P6). The longest hitter on tour is Cameron Champ whose peak arm speed I believe is closer to 26mph. That’s double the speed of gravity!!
Based on those calculations I would suggest using gravity will create very little speed!! Remember the true cause of energy transfer is rapidly decelerating the arms as the club gets slung out at impact. We have to move ‘em fast earlier……
I hope that makes sense! Use linear force to rapidly work the club down as you hold your upper body back!!!! Think ‘fast arms’ as you change direction and it’ll transfer speed to the club head!!
Best, A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻
Andrew, great video. When you get to the top of your backswing, do you "pull down with the club to get in the slot, or let it drop naturally? Thanks, Steve
You’re going to feel like you are. In reality of course it’s not close to that! The key is to STALL the spin phase with the upper body in order for your arms to work down! The reality is that you’ll be unwinding as you do this and the club will be more in front of you as a result! Thanks for watching!
A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Andrew have you done a grip video? Looks very strong from your description but never saw a face on view ? Thanks
I can’t tell you how many golfers feel like they have a strong grip but in reality it isn’t! The key is your routine Brian. Adjust your grip based on YOUR ball flight! If you’re hooking you may have to weaken slightly. Slicing of course the opposite (3 knuckles!) My point is that the grip is the single biggest influence on the orientation of the club face! Golfers should pay more attention to it for sure!
Thanks for watching!

Tuck (elbow) is my take away swing thought.
Thanks for watching! Get after it!

Everything I knew two weeks ago was wrong
After finding you...golf is easy
Thanks for watching!! That’s great to hear! Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
Great video, really helped my ball striking 👍
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
@@AndrewEmeryGolf only came across your videos today. I’ve watched a few now and they are vey well presented and have worked brilliant for me on the range. Thank you 👍
so the trunk is a force multiple too.doesn't😊 keeping your back to the target restrict that severely?
Using the trunk at the right time is the key Matt! Most golfers transition spin out in front of their arms. Keeping your back to the target helps sequence your arms to your body as you turn through the ball. Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️♂️🙏🏻
thank you for your prompt reply.it takes discipline to NOT turn right away.is a little hip bump and turn while keeping your back to the target o.k. ?I've watched all your videos and still don't quite get that piece.
My son hits a bunch of pushes out to the right and it looks like his swing path is quite a bit inside-out. Any suggestions.
He’s likely dragging the club around the corner early. Grab a small ball bucket or use a water bottle and watch this video to help him get a little more vertical.
Thanks, Coach A. 🏌️♂️⛳️🙏🏻

Great stuff but don't try to tell your golf buddies. They don't want to hear it....
Stay in your lane! Let the handle draggers do their thing. Us contrarians will keep swinging easy and releasing our speed into our 90’s! ⛳️🏌️♂️😎🙏🏻
