Stuck Arms

Hi Garret,

If the arms are getting stuck, I'd first want to identify when they are getting stuck in order to determine a plan of action. Also, the combo of stuck and steep could be a different solution than just stuck. Do you have a couple videos of your swing? I'd probably want to see both face on and down the line.

Typically, for arms that are stuck, I think addressing spinning the shoulders is a key component. So Feeling like the back stays to the target longer or that the shoulders stay closed longer is usually a key part of getting the arms in front.

Hi Garret,

I think the late early extension is related to your arms feeling stuck. With the body extending that much through the ball, the arms don't have a lot of room to get in front of the body. The shallow late movement is one of the most common causes of the two way miss and usually is worse with the driver. So if there is any consolation in "the driver is absolutely horrible right now" it's that it fits the pattern for that release move.

This is one of my favorite drills for late early extension: https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/connecting-trail-arm-sidearm-throw/ fixing the late early extension should make the left miss harder to hit. You'll hit more solid shots, but more shorts that just fall off to the right. Then you can address anything related to the right miss without fear of the big left miss.

Happy golfing,
Tyler
