Staying Connected Through Impact
Should I Keep My Hands And Arms In Sync With My Upper Body?
As a concept yes, your hands, arms and shoulders rotate through your center together as you connect with the ball. Forcing this alignment might cause some issues. Creating tension in your golf swing will get you in trouble. Practice feeling how the momentum of the club can direct you.
Don’t Make This Backswing Mistake
I see a lot of amateurs make this mistake when they hit golf balls (especially with their driver). You want the length of your arms going the same distance back in your back swing as your shoulders tell them to. If they go back farther then that then this is slack.
When you get into your back swing, you want your shoulders to be telling how far back your arms can go, if they go further than this then you have problems. This will result in back swings that are way too long and when this happens then your arms have to catch back up to your body turn on the downswing.
If your back swing is going too far back then you want to start to shorten it up. This will create more consistency and more power. If they are running away from your body then you are going to have to initiate your arms in the downswing and you want to be using your body.
DO NOT TURN YOUR SHOULDERS: Golf Swing MISTAKE
“The shoulders DON’T TURN like you think they do!” COMMON Mistake we all a make when trying to TURN better and LOAD for power in the golf swing.
Turning your shoulders on the wrong plane causes many problems in golf and POOR strikes with IRONS and DRIVER.
If your shoulders turn on the proper axis your head will remain steady and STILL THROUGHOUT the golf swing.

Fundamentals of the Golf Swing – Titleist Tips
Since golf’s origins more than five-hundred years ago, golf club technology, engineering and the materials used to make clubs have all improved immeasurably. But as Titleist staff instructor Ben Blalock points out in this video, the basic design of the club has change very little.
The club is still essentially a stick with a handle on one end and a weight at the other. The weighted end (the club head) is attached to the stick (the club shaft) at the heel of the club, not the center.
This is important because it encourages the club head to rotate open and closed as it is swung. Knowing how to take advantage of this design feature (and not work against it) is a key to playing the game well. And as Ben shows, allowing the club to work with your body and do what it was designed to do is easier than you might think.
