Watch this video for a more thorough and modern explanation of the same concept: ▶ this video They even reference the arm swing illusion video within it. I think you missed the whole point of the “illusion” aspect the first video walks through. It’s not that you don’t rotate your chest, of course you do. It’s that when you rotate your chest and lift your arms, it appears like your arms are moving across your body. …

More shoulder turn may happen when you do it, but what I’m suggesting is just keep your trail arm less folded at the top. Keep the club handle further away from your trail side with your arm extended more. Great video on it here: ▶ this video

u/Snacks75 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “How are you supposed to start and complete a backswing without lifting your arms?”

If somebody tells you that you should not lift the club with your arms in the back swing, they don't know what they are talking about. Ignore anything you hear from someone who says this. ▶ this video Drill2 is a fantastic drill, maybe the most helpful drill for people struggling with what to do with their arms/hand/wrists in the golf swing.

u/JangoTat46 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “What can I do better? I tend to slice a lot”

Honestly, you're pretty close with your swing, but u think a better pairing at the top and a concept change for your downswing/impact will do you some good. Currently, your backswing brings the club across the line at the top, and you make a steep over the top move from there. You unwind your shoulder turn before you get the club shallow and into a playable position in the slot. You also don't start squaring the …

Right arm is disconnected in the back swing. A feel I use to use was to feel like your right arm is doing a curl to 90°. I also do the left arm under the right elbow drill. Skip to 7:40 ▶ this video
