I Was A Short Hitter Until I Completely SHUT OFF My Arms
PGA instructor Jonathan Chown demonstrates how eliminating active arm pulling during the downswing increased his clubhead speed and driver distance. By focusing on relaxing the arms and letting lower body rotation lead the transition, golfers can avoid casting and early release. The video includes step-by-step transition drills like the Step Through Drill and Float Load Drill paired with biofeedback from wrist sensors.
Active arm pulling in the downswing often prevents proper weight transfer onto the lead foot.
Feeling like your arms slow down in transition creates time for your lower body to rotate and power the swing.
The Step Through Drill enforces proper downswing kinetic sequence from the feet up.
The Float Load Drill promotes wide backswing extension and natural wrist hinge without force.
