Power Doesn't Come From Your Arms | Jimmy Ballard

Golf instructor Jimmy Ballard demonstrates how true power in the golf swing is generated from the ground up rather than pulling with the arms. By engaging the right foot, knee, hip, and lat together, golfers establish athletic connection and maximize energy transfer.

• Power originates from the ground up through the legs, hips, and core rather than pulling with the lead arm.
• Connection means unifying big muscle groups into an athletic, balanced position.
• Athletic movement in golf mimics other sports like tennis and baseball, relying on body motion rather than pure arm action.
