Right arm close to the body is a must for each golf swing.
This does not imply that the right arm must be “attached” to the body, this
occurs to golfers who use to drop the club at the top of the backswing (see
Andy Garcia slowmo clips) or to golfers who use to squat a lot (see Rory
clips).
Other players, like for example Ernie Els or Luke Donalds, who dont drop
the club and dont squat a lot, keep their right arm of course very “close”
to the body, but not so “attached” to the body as we see in the above Zach
tip.
So this video is very useful, drill well worth to try and repeat, but it
is not a bible.
Concept is right arm close, to what extent “close” to the body depends on
your swing.
My 2 cents here…?
my head will move along with my shoulder. any drill to prevent that? thank
U Zach! ?
Best example of right elbow use i’ve seen and simple aid of a belt.
Thank you.?
Moe Norman, said to be one of the best ball strikers of all time; did this
too perfection. This video and the one about dropping the club at the
beginning of the downswing…he called it “the vertical drop and the
horizontal tug”.?
very useful and helpful, thank you sir?
I have played golf for about 35 years now. I taught myself from Ben Hogans
book the 5 fundamentals of the modern golf swing. I was a 2 handicap at
one point. Zach is exactly right. What I do is take the club back with my
upper right arm glued to my body. Its very difficult when you first try it
because its so restrictive and you feel like there is no power in the
swing. However it is exactly the opposite. Zach is right because he
explains that your body powers the right arm through the swing. It is
impossible to fade or slice the ball with this swing unless you are an
advanced golfer unlike me. Keeping your right upper arm glued or close to
your body restricts your backswing which makes this swing very simple
especially for seniors like me at 62 years old. The only thing I think of
is extending my arms, especially my right arm at impact. You will not
believe how well this also works out of the rough. It powers the club
right through tall grass. I love his drill with the belt. I’m going to
try it.?
Very helpful tip. Thanks.?
Excellent advice. never seen any pro’s talk about this b4 Thanks for
sharing?
this method is what the great Ben Hogan did. It helps to keep the upper
body in sink with the lower body where all the power comes from. When
practicing this just don’t forget that the left arm is still the main
pivot. Right hand should be relaxed but the right elbow comes down.?
John Daly is a fat piece of shit….shouldnt be allowed on tour. Disgrace
to the sport?
I have no problems with distance but my accuracy 7 outa 10 times sucks!! I
will be taking an extra belt to the range next time!!?
isnt this disconnection coming from scooping??
Luckily you were not the coach for Jack, Phil, Bubba , Tom Watson etc.
Don’t you know how to differentiate the two types of swings, and have
lessons and tips for both of them? You seem to suggest that there is only
one way to swing the club.?
J?
great tip for improving your golf swing #golfswingsecret #golfing
#golfswingspeed #golfswing #golfireland ?
john daly from waist high to impact was amazing?
Excellent piece of instruction Zach.One little adjustment and I am no
longer slicing and losing yards. The game is so much more enjoyable these
days. Thank you?
Excellent video. I sprayed a little foot powder on my driver face to
examine impact on the face. Too many towards the heel (club getting
further away during down swing). Another example of the need to keep the
right arm in close.?
The secret dosen’t lie in my right arm. I am a left handed golfer. No big
deal to most, but saying “front” and “back” would make more sense.?
would seem I Am extending the right arm too soon..my thinking was unload at
the ball .hmmmm?
Excellent advice. Thanks for sharing.?
Zach you are an excellent instructor, wish I lived in cali. Keep up the
good work?

Hogan use to place a belt on His friends in this way. Think about that.?
