BODY TURN vs. ARM SWING | Learn to CONTROL your GOLF SWING with this SIMPLE Concept

I love this concept. Simple yet very effective!
Every golf swing should feature both the body rotating and the arms swinging.
By strategically tipping the balance of this relationship one way or the other, we can skew our face to path relationship either more open or more closed.
More body turn in the backswing, more arms in the downswing to close the face more.
More arms going back and more body turn in the downswing to stablize the face and leave it a bit more open.

what a great explanation. ive never heard of any coach explain the differences in this way and you broke it down in less than a couple of minutes. and its lovely to hear that there's a place for both types of swings, and everything in between to control the club face.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great instruction. Have tried one or the other many years. I'm going to try the blend proportionly!

[@danmccrackengolf]

Thanks for the comment! Best of luck with your practice.

I hit a pull hook often with driver but not irons usually. It’s no wonder I also struggle with what the swing motor should be I have switched many times between body driven and arm driven. Never really thought about how to blend them.

[@steveperry1344]

some good thoughts there, thnx.

[@danmccrackengolf]

Glad you enjoyed!!

So do you advocate a blend of the two. I’m struggling with trying to change my swing from fast active hands (chest facing ball at impact) to right pocket facing ball at impact). Having a bit of a struggle with it

[@danmccrackengolf]

Thanks for the comment.
Yes I’d say everyone needs to find their own unique blend.
Whats your current ball flight pattern? Often times our athletic subconscious will do anything possible to square the face.

@@danmccrackengolf slight draw…but recently pulling all approach shots. I’m sure I’m coming OTT. Happens when I don’t complete my backswing and or w/o making a good weight shift to my lead foot. Just wondering if I’m giving up distance if I don’t try and implement a solid hands release while trying to in corporate a more stable body release🤷‍♂️

[@danmccrackengolf]

@@daveparsons7756okay good to know. I think you’re exactly right. I would definitely encourage a bigger turn in the backswing to create a deeper hand path. I don’t think we want to restrict the downswing at all (that would slow you down) perhaps you can focus on creating speed with the legs in the downswing (vs the arms and upper body), hopefully the deeper backswing will shift club path and start direction for you! Let me know if that helps at all! Here to help.

Thanks Dan!

What if you are someone who constantly hits behind the ball?

[@danmccrackengolf]

Thanks for the questions! I would say more body turn in the downswing can prevent the the club head from overtaking the handle too quickly.
I also made a couple videos that may help:

[@ayotollaofrockandrolla7219]

Not sure why.. but for me beating the right miss is about coming thru with open face feeling. To beat a hook I try getting my hands active
Not sure why this is

[@danmccrackengolf]

interesting. It’s a wild game we are playing , at least you found what works for you
