How to integrate the lead arm in the golf swing

okay so you've made it through the first videos we've got weight shift happening which is a huge help in the swing helps everything sequence correctly and now you've got rotation the whole core the rotation which is really the golf swing if you rotate correctly the rest of it's really easy so if you've gotten these first two videos and you've you're doing those drills and you're and you're doing them properly everything's starting to go really really well in your golf swing it should be make sure you're doing these drills in sequence so now the third video is getting this lead arm and we've talked a lot about the lead arm in other videos so you know I'm not going to go in detail about it but how important it is to work with the lead arm but we're gonna get this guy to start working with the other drill so we're stacking things we're making these drills progressive we're adding new components to them so still shifting our weight now we're turning and we're using our hips to unwind we're gonna get our left arm to play nicely with this stuff so all right if you're right if you're left-handed obviously it's gonna be your right arm so lead arm I'm gonna shift my weight I'm gonna turn to the top and now I'm gonna try and leave my arm up here I don't need it I don't even have a club forget golf for a second just leave it up here I'm gonna shift my weight back to the left post up and look where my hand is I didn't try to move my hand down here at all back I tried to leave it up here this is the key to understanding how you power the swing efficiently and how you get the club to come down on plane and how do you get the club to come on path and how you get the club to square up all of these things that you struggle with your whole life swing over the top etc is all fixed by doing these moves in this sequence shifting my weight back shifting my way through immediately shallows out my arm and as I begin to unwind my hips it immediately brings the club back out in front of me and gets this pivot point my lead shoulder into a perfect impact position stacked right past the ball so I didn't have to do anything I didn't do anything with my arms at all which is the whole key to the swing so as I go back I'm loaded up on my right I've made a nice full turn the turn is what's transported my arm to the top the weight shift is what's giving me some momentum to start the turn see the whole sequence here weight shift first then rotation weight shift helps move the hips to the right to give them some momentum the turn helps move the arm guess what's gonna come next moving the golf club right golf clubs and get moved by all of these things in the sequence that's the whole beauty of it so now shift back to the left didn't do anything with my arm I'm gonna post up look where my hand is right we're supposed to be I didn't have to move it I'm not that coordinated to get it there by myself but I'm pretty coordinated to be able to move these little these pieces a very small amount they don't have to move very far to get the club right back where we want so shifting back they're turning back shifting to the right shift to the left turn my hip impact boom it's that simple again it's the sequence that you work through these videos that's critical so don't try to skip ahead skip the weight shift stuff skip the rotation stuff the rotation stuff is really the central absolute part of the golf swing when this is done correctly where the arms go is really easy so next I'm going to show you just some simple drills that we're going to add in here so you don't have to listen to me ramble on here we're just going to focus on the drills in the next video

I've rewatched this video AFTER watching several of the 'road Show" videos. The road show vids makes it look like the sequence is a little different. The road show vids make it look like the lead arm should be in front of the trail thigh after/at the post up and then release. This step 3 vid makes it look like the lead arm is at impact after/at post up. Confused!

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Michael. The hips will clear/post before you strike the ball. A lot of players under do the posting up, so sometimes we make sure they use the lower half before feeling the release in a sequenced drill. What you see in the road show. My mantra has always been to students shift/post/release. The word of caution is if you post up too soon you will fire the lag and release too early. Shifting will get the arms halfway down. Post and then let it go.

Hello Graig! I have a question about my review. The reason my lead hand was too bend at top was that I tried to keep it as relaxed as possible. Should I keep my left arm straight manually (I feel tense when doing so) or what I should do? Now left arm feels dead to me when performing step 3.
April 8, 2019
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Mikko. I would manually just keep it a little straighter. It doesn't need to be locked out. What I am trying to delete is the need to overly straighten it during the downswing move. Take a look at Proper Muscle Activation. Alive, but not dead.

How open should the hips be at impact? 30 degrees or so?

Hello Jay. Hips will be 30-45 degrees open at impact.

Hello Graig! I have always wondered what is the main cause that some will get 30 degrees open and others 45? Is the mobility that causes it or something else? Body type?
April 6, 2019

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Mikko. Some is body types. Lack of internal hip mobility. But, most should be able to reach the 30-45 window which is plenty.

In other videos there was extensive discussion by Chuck of the left arm leading to provide stability. Here, the arm is passive letting the weight shift and hip turn/post-up place it in to the hitting position. This leaves me confused as to when the left arm is used for stability or any other purpose. Or is it merely a difference in feeling from a somewhat more dynamic effect in the real swing vs this drill?
January 7, 2018
64x64
Chuck
It's a feel and real. You're going to use the left arm more than you realize. Ideally, the feeling is the arm is relatively relaxed and passive, but no matter what, it is working to pull the club through no matter how relaxed you may feel.

Thanks, that confirms the feeling I had last season. When I felt that leading pull, is when I hit my cleanest and best iron shots in particular.

A few weeks ago, I watched a video that really clicked. In that video Chuck described how the hands felt like they were dropping straight down from the top of the back swing. Can you help me find this video?

Hello William. We have a ton of videos that deal with the transition. It is hard for me to isolate the exact one. How to Fix Plane and Path, Stop Coming Over the Top and Reshaping Your Swing For Lag would be my starting point to find. Could you tell if it was a newer video or older?

Having commenced "adding the left arm " I find I am still need a clarification on the feeling in the core movement . When I load the weight on to my trail heel in the backswing and then to the lead heel on the downswing the sensation is a heel to heel movement in a straight line laterally ( I realise in fact the rotation is happening ) and the trail foot rolls to the instep with weight evenly distributed front to back . If my weight is not mainly on the heel in the backswing I lose the straight line feeling and it results in the trail foot heel coming off the ground a couple on inches . Should I feel the heel to heel movement?
November 3, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Ian. Using your feet and glutes are a good way to get the move down. It is your only connection to the ground and will provide you a lot of feedback.
November 6, 2017

Ian
Hi Graig, Thanks for that . Just a follow up question . Is ia OK for the left heel to be an inch or two off the ground at impact?
November 6, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Ian. If you are really trying to bomb one you might achieve some lift off of the lead foot. However, majority of shots lead heel should stay down.

Sorry Craig -I meant to say right heel.

I heard in this Video that one should initiate the swing with weight shift rather then rotation, is that correct?
August 5, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Robert. You may initiate the swing with weight shift or rotation. Weight shift is an easy way to get some momentum started and release some body tension. Therefore, more players chose to start with shift, than rotating. Neither would be incorrect though.

What does the lead wrist look like at the top of the backswing? Bowed, flat, or slightly cupped? I find my wrist naturally has a slight cup and if I try to manipulate it to flat there is pain and feels unnatural.
January 29, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Dylan. The lead wrist should be flat at the top of the backswing. If you have a slightly strong grip it may be causing the cupping. That will be okay as long as it isn't overly cupped or so strong it is manipulating the face in a bad way. Take a look at Using the Wrist Effectively and Efficiently.

Douglas
One thing that really stood out to me in this video is that the left arm doesn't do anything in order to get to impact position.. just weight shift and core rotation. Is there literally no pulling from the left arm/shoulder? Also, does that imply the release is all from the left wrist and extension of the right arm?
January 12, 2017
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Douglas. Yes, you don't need to yank or pull really hard with the lead arm to reach impact. You do need to remain in control, but tone down the tension. Yes, the release is from the lead wrist (Arms vs. Body Release).

T David
It seems from my swing analysis that I am leaving my arms behind, even though I am now shifting my weight. So, do we need to activate the muscles in the left arm, or slow down the downswing to get the core rotation to be in sync with the arms?
November 15, 2016
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Dave. Slowing down will help with the sync issues. But, it's more tension in your lead shoulder. It is a blend of pull and gravity. You need to take the "glue" factor out. Take a look at the Re-Shaping Your Swing for Lag Video. Don't worry too much about, but listen about the tension.

Hello Dave. I'm referring to glue as don't glue your arm too tightly at the top in your shoulder joint. That you must remain tension free. Not stuck together.

Hey Craig - This advice about my lead shoulder really helped. I focused in on this with my round yesterday and my full swings... Driver, fairway woods an long irons were long in straight with keeping a soft left shoulder and wrists during the downswing. My short game needed some work, but I'm still encouraged on my full swing. I pulled 6 pars for the round, which is something that usually doesn't occur with my game. So, a big THANKS to you, Craig. I appreciate all your help and encouragement.

Hi Craig and company: I have really been working hard on my takeaway using my rotation much better. My irons have been better and my driver, too, but I find I'm slicing with my driver and hitting some shots to the right with my irons, something I've never done. I have always swung from in to out and used my hands to try save certain shots. Now I'm not flipping but sometimes the face is left wide open. What am I doing wrong??

Hi Craig: I now realize I was not releasing the club properly. I'm getting better at that, but now I'm hitting my driver, and only my driver, off the heel and top of the club face. It's a brand new driver and the same length as my last one. It's driving me crazy, pun intended. I hope you guys can help.

Chris, Chuck, Craig, Guys words can't express how much I've learned from these 2 series (RST 5 Step Quick start system & Play the best golf of your life in 6 weeks) of golf instruction. They've really helped me with improvement of my golf swing and game. I'm really looking forward to the day when Chuck set-up a golf tournament of some type where all of his members from the site can meet him in person and thank him for founding this great way to teach the golf swing. I for one would like to meet him in person and shake his hand and, thank him for all his hard work over the years. Chris as I've met you in person and have thanked you I feel a personnel connection with you & you're not just someone I'm viewing on the web. It's on my bucket list to hopefully meet Chuck Q one day. Thanks again guys for all your HARDWORK & help with this great game. RST FOR LIFE!!!

I'm a little confused. Craig has recommended this video series, as well as the frisbee drill for me. In this video, the lead arm is completely passive during the downswing and is delivered to impact first by weight shift and rotating the lower lead side, and then by posting up on the lead leg. I get that and it makes sense. So the frisbee drill seems to me to slightly disagree from this video in that the left arm is making a throwing motion down to the impact spot while the lower body is rotating and posting up. Or do I just throw a frisbee incorrectly and I should have the same passive feeling in my lead arm?
May 31, 2016
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hey Patterson. I think you might throw a frisbee incorrectly . Just kidding. In all seriousness, when throwing a frisbee you use the same principles. Weight, pull from the lead and then release the frisbee. The drill above is trying to re-enforce that you have to use some lead side pull to help bring the lead arm down. In both moves you still will be releasing the arms/hands into impact. Take a look at the Throw the Club Head at the Ball Video to see the similarities of the motion.

David
Hi Craig, In this video Chuck show's that the left arm is brought down back into impact by virtue of hip rotation due to weight shift and posting up - two distinct step's if you like which blend together to form the downswing. On other video's this sequence has been done in three step's, one as a result of weight shift, a second one where the hand's are pulled down a bit more to the right thigh or delivery area and the third posting up for the club to release into impact. Could you clarify this 2 versus 3 step's and where the intentional pulling of the left arm occur's please.
May 11, 2016
64x64
Chris (Certified RST Instructor)
Hi David, Chris here...you have to remember the lower body is making a very dynamic move from the top of the swing down. You are shifting and rotating the hips. This movement is bringing the arms down into the hitting area for the post up and release of the swing. In some videos, we chunk it up slowly (3 pieces) to try and focus on the lower body being the primary downward movement of the club. There is not really a difference per say, just a different way of communicating the lower body doing all the work to pull the arms down into the release point of the swing. Hope that helps.

Greg
I have two questions. One, can you feel a stretch in your left lat as you do your initial lateral move to the left side? Two, should I resist the urge to fully cock my wrists at the top of the backswing so I can better feel the creation of lag in the downswing? Do I need to work on initiating the downswing before the backswing is completed? Sorry that was three questions.
May 1, 2016
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Greg. You can feel the left lat, but you shouldn't overly tense the pull down of the lead arm. The wrist won't be maxed out with wrist set at the top. Only requirement is the gradual setting from the full swing and still enough room to increase coming down. You can work on initiating first especially if you struggle with lag or commonly over swing. But, while beginning to get the drills down. No worry on pausing to learn the new motor patterns.
