Im a right hander, average size and weight and have been playing golf for many years.

Alan T · · United Kingdom
Im a right hander, average size and weight and have been playing golf for many years. At best, I got down to a handicap of 5, it’s now officially 7 but I have not played competitively for two years. My swing flaws prevented me from going lower, (bent left arm, poor weight transfer and very armsy ). I have been a member of RSC for a while which has given me the tools to work things out but I just can’t get the weight transfer and post up right. It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I video my swing and watch it back, the same fault is evident. I can see the fault is that my hips are square and my left leg is still bent at impact. I can’t seem to clear the hips before my arms come down. I don’t have the flexibility I used to enjoy but Its not bad. I know what to do but I can’t program my brain to do it. This is really preventing me from going any further. Can anyone or an instructor offer advice to work it out?

Hello Alan. Without see the move it would be tough to diagnose. I would suggest a swing review. It could be lack of weight transfer, over active arms shutting down the legs, improper pressure movement in feet, etc. The first thing I always suggest to students is to try and move body only first. If you can't do it arms across your chest without the distraction of the club. That is where you need to start training first.

RotarySwing was founded out of frustration with the current state of golf instruction. Quinton knew a better way had to exist to learn this game we all love.
