🥎The Simple Throw Feel That Fixes Your Trail Arm (No More Over the Top or Stuck Swings)
Malaska-certified coach Matt Baker demonstrates how a simple throwing motion can fix common trail arm issues in the golf swing. By practicing throwing a ball at a target on the ground, golfers can naturally learn the transition from external rotation in the backswing to internal rotation in the downswing, preventing 'over-the-top' or 'stuck' swing patterns.
The trail arm should hinge at 90 degrees to the forearm without twisting during the initial move.
The arm naturally rotates externally in the shoulder socket during the backswing.
A proper downswing requires the trail arm to rotate internally to release the club toward the target.
Tucking the trail elbow too tight to the side often prevents the natural internal rotation needed for a good strike.
Practicing one-handed swings helps bridge the gap between the throwing drill and a full two-handed golf swing.
