The Magic of the Right Forearm in Golf
Unlocking the Secrets of the Right Forearm
By: Homer Kelley
In his influential book, The Golfing Machine, Homer Kelley touched on a crucial aspect of golf that gained clarity in later editions: the power of the right forearm. Though initially understated, this concept is fundamental to mastering a perfect swing.
Elevating Your Swing
Bending and straightening the right elbow plays a pivotal role in controlling the left arm and the left wrist without compromising the position of the right wrist. This dynamic is essential for achieving the Three Dimensional Impact: downward, outward, and forward movement.
Combining this with the backward bend of the right wrist aligns the clubshaft perfectly with the right forearm, supporting a powerful strike.
The Role of the Right Forearm
Kelley emphasizes that whether you're hitting or swinging, it's the right forearm?"not just the hand or clubshaft?"that drives the ball at impact. It's crucial that the right forearm always aligns with the plane line, directing the angle of attack.
The plane of the right forearm determines the precise path the clubshaft should follow throughout the stroke. This approach ensures that the forearm leaves and returns to its fixed position, resulting in a consistent, effective impact.
Practical Drill: Right Forearm Tracing
To understand this better, try a simple drill: hold a club in your right hand horizontally and lower your forearm and club onto a table, ensuring they stay aligned. This exercise, known as right forearm tracing, helps you maintain the alignment through the stroke.
When you bend the right wrist backward, the clubshaft and forearm form a "wedge," creating a more precise and controlled swing. Practice moving this wedge back and forth on the table to develop a feel for the alignment.
Conclusion
This drill increases awareness of how the right forearm and clubshaft should interact during a swing. When aligned correctly, they create a powerful force at impact, enhancing your game with a distinctive and satisfying sound.
Unlocking the magic of the right forearm can transform your golf technique, adding precision and power to your every swing.
