Stop Using Arms, Turn Your Body!

Posted by Golfer on March 11th, 2008 at 03:58am

A very common problem people have in their swing is that they use to much of their arms, and then they don’t turn their hips as much. Usually this can cause you to hook or pull your ball, which will really effect your game.  So you really need to turn your body to hit the ball straight.

Luckily, I do have a little drill you can use that can help you start turning your hips instead of using your arms. Go to the golf range, and set up to a ball. Then, take your club back just a little bit, about a sixth of your normal back swing, and try to hit it. You will realize that in order to hit it well, you must turn your hips, and you can’t just use your arms to hit it.
