Swing Your ARMS In Front With You!

PGA Coach Milo Lines demonstrates why keeping your arms moving in front of your chest is critical during the golf swing. Leaving arms trapped behind forces the club to kick out in front unexpectedly, leading to severe swing compensations. Synchronizing your arm swing with your body rotation improves swing path and impact consistency.

• Keep your arms and hands moving in front of your chest throughout the swing motion.
• Avoid leaving your arms trailing too far behind as your hips and torso rotate through transition.
• Trapping your arms behind often leads to an over-the-top compensation or flipped club head at impact.
