In this tip I am talking about which arm should you hit the golf ball with. Some people say it’s a left arm swing. Others say it’s a right arm swing like skipping a stone. Well, my answer is different. If you have followed me you will not I don’t want you hit the ball with either arm. Instead, we are using our body to hit the ball.
So the first step is to you work on your arm unit in your swing. Once you get it working (which I show you how to tell) you switch to body to power your swing while keeping your arms powerless.
I know that people wonder which arm to the ball with. I have received this question a lot over the years. So watch this tip and understand the concept of not hitting with any arm. Once you understand it and try it you will start to hit the ball better than ever.
