This is the first of two videos which look at the trail arm and how it should move through the golf swing. the trail arm is something that can cause poor shots in many golf swing, this first video focuses on the backswing and covers the set up, take away and half way back positions to ensure you are moving your arm correctly in your swing.

HOW TO SYNC UP YOUR BODY AND ARMS IN THE GOLF SWING
Chris Ryan shows you what checkpoints you can have in your golf swing to ensure your arm and body are working together in your golf swing.
How The Left Shoulder Works In The Golf Swing
if you are watching this and you have a flat shoulder turn like me, you are going to need to feel like your left shoulder goes even more down than that checkpoint. If I’m on the wrong side of a checkpoint to flat and I know that my left shoulder needs to go down, then I need to feel like it goes way down. The whole point of these videos is to give you a checkpoint. You need to feel as far as you need to – one way or the other – to hit that checkpoint.
From the top and into the downswing, the left shoulder should go down and around. When we look at slow motion videos of PGA Tour players and we draw the circle around the head, we notice their whole body as a unit. What should you feel from the top of the swing? It depends on where you’re coming from. If your normal tendency is to go up right away, then you need to feel like you go down and around even more than normal. If you go down and around too much, (which is like one out of a thousand of you) then you need to feel like you go more up.
Hank Haney Keys for a More Consistent Golf Swing
Golf instructor Hank Haney corrects a reader’s swing via Twitter.
Hank Haney’s followers on Twitter always send him pictures of their swing and one of the most common pictures that I see is where their address position and their impact position look so distinctively different. When you set up to the golf ball, you have a certain amount of bend forward from your hips.
How To Stay Centered During the Backswing
My swing philosophies are based on just watching the best players for a long period of time. When I first started analyzing swings I would do the old draw the circle around their head from face on and see where they would go relative to that circle. If you go back and watch great players throughout time, certainly some guys stay right in that circle. Some guys move off the circle a little bit more. I prefer a swing model where if you draw the circle around their head they remain relatively stable or a centered pivot.
