Golf Swing Extension – How to Release your Arms & Hands after Impact

Golf lesson and golf tips on how to rotate your hands and arms (release) after impact with the golf ball, for consistently straight shots.

Immediately after impact with the golf ball, you should feel as though the golf club extends right down the line of your target. Imagine the golf club is very heavy and how that would straighten and extend your arms away rather than them buckling and wrapping around your body.

Aiming for a good extension position will ensure a good impact position, since the body tends to prepare itself for what’s ahead.

Extend the hands away from the body, keeping both arms straight.

Hands should rotate over naturally, as the club goes around your body and switches over to the left side of your body.

Your spine angle should still match the one set at address at this point.

Ben Hogan’s Magic Elbow Move

Ben Hogan’s Magic Elbow Move

This Ben Hogan Magic Elbow Move comes from his book Five Lessons, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf.

More specifically, in the Stance section, Ben Hogan discusses the importance of tucking in the trail elbow to allow it to stay glued to his side” in the golf swing.

Ben Hogan’s “elbow tucking” setup serves many important purposes:

1. It allows the golf club to travel on the same path every single time for a consistent, automatically repeating golf swing with amazing golf ball striking.
2. It creates an automatic wrist hinge and stores up power in the trail arm in the backswing – for powerful golf ball striking.
3. It stores power and lag on the downswing – preventing casting and early extension in the process and opening up room to hit really clean golf shots.
4. It allows the trail arm to powerfully FIRE through the golf ball after impact – sending all of your energy through the ball without wasting any power and creating amazing golf ball striking feelings.
5. It prevents slices and ultimately fixes the slice because the elbow staying tucked prevents the club from swinging over the top in the downswing.
6. It helps keep the lead, left arm straight in the golf swing for crispy, clean contact and improve your golf ball striking.
7. It allows for EFFORTLESS POWER because of the trail arm loading I mentioned earlier.
8. It promotes a proper inward hand path and prevents golfers from lifting their arms increasing consistency and power and improving golf ball striking.

There are SO MANY MORE BENEFITS in this Ben Hogan golf ball striking tip that I don’t have enough time to list all of them!
