How To Hit The Ball With Your Body Not Your Arms #golftips #golf #shorts

Paul Wilson explains how golfers can generate effortless power by 'turning off' their arms at the top of the backswing. By relaxing the arms, the golfer is forced to use the legs and hips as the primary power source, correcting common flaws like the 'over-the-top' move and the 'chicken wing.'

• Hitting with the arms often leads to an over-the-top swing path and loss of distance.
• Relax your arms at the top of the backswing so they feel like they are just 'floating.'
• If the arms are turned off, the legs and hips become the only available power source to start the downswing.
• A body-driven swing improves both consistency and effortless distance compared to an arm-heavy swing.
