To pull- or to let the arms be pulled?! Def the latter… #trueswinggolf #golf #golfswing #golftips

Erika Larkin of True Swing Golf demonstrates the critical downswing transition of letting the arms be pulled by the body's rotation. By avoiding an active 'pull' with the hands, golfers can create more natural lag and a more efficient energy transfer.

• The arms should remain passive at the start of the downswing.
• Power is generated by the body's pivot pulling the arms along the arc.
• Actively pulling with the arms often leads to a loss of lag and poor sequencing.
• Focus on the 'feeling' of the club being a weight at the end of a string pulled by the torso.
