🗣️ Comment “TQ” to learn how to keep your lead arm straight by training the trail arm

Rob Cheney explains how to maintain a straight lead arm by focusing on the trail arm's movement during the backswing. By emphasizing trail shoulder retraction and pushing the trail hand away from the body, golfers can create a wider, more powerful swing that prevents the lead arm from collapsing.

• Focus on retracting the trail shoulder fully during the backswing to create space.
• Push the trail hand away from the body to maximize swing width.
• A wider swing may feel shorter but typically produces more power and better arm structure.
• Rehearse with the trail arm alone before adding the lead arm to 'feel' the correct width.
