【Golf Beginner Left Arm】How to Improve the Movement of Pulling the Left Elbow

Before→Both hands were heading backwards as if pulled by the left elbow

After→Now heading backwards from both hands

After→The movement to fold the left elbow naturally enters

Hello, this is CLARD!

I couldn't get rid of the movement of pulling my left elbow from before, and I felt a sense of discomfort after the impact.  This time is a correction lesson for this left elbow pulling motion!

I used to hit with one hand in the practice to correct this, but when I hit with both hands, it doesn't flow like when I hit with one hand for some reason(*´Д｀)

Even so, I felt like I was cured by practicing one-handed striking.

However, my mentor, Dr. Nakamura, did not miss it and gave me sharp points and suggestions for improvement. As expected( ﾟДﾟ)

And the progress of practicing according to the advice is shown on the  two images above.

In conclusion,

"Turn the back of your left hand to the ground."

Image of Turning the Back of the Left Hand Down

The image is the return of this guy’s hand

If you try it to the extreme, it’s the above image☝

And I want to swing it smoothly!

These teachings were taught by my teacher around July 2020, and I was trying to improve them, but they were not completely cured.

I didn't give much importance to the problem because I was able to fly in the direction of the target. However, when I watched my swing video and watched many swings on Instagram, I noticed something different from my own swing( ﾟДﾟ)

In the words of my mentor, it feels like☟

It’s just an image. How much to return depends on each person.

I want to advance to intermediate level and above, so I just need to learn it as a matter of course( ｀ー´)ノ

Give it A Try

I don’t care about the other's eye, sometimes I’m looking at other people’s practice methods!

Return the back of the left hand after impact

= the instep faces the ground

It’s a movement I’ve never done, so I just practice it while watching various things!

By the way, the club I used when practicing was 9i.

9i that I rarely used recently

The back of the hand returns at this moment!

Even if I turn it down a little, it doesn’t look right

When I returned it to the extreme, the ball disappeared somewhere(;´Д｀)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm(-_-;)

If you are too conscious of it, it won’t work.

After a few shots, the left elbow folds smoothly and flows backward! And the hit ball draws a beautiful draw!

I grounded and shanked until a beautiful ball came out, but I just concentrated on my problem without worrying about the surroundings! 

The Result of Turning the Back of the Left Hand Down

The movement of pulling from the left elbow is disappearing

Both hands are moving backwards in advance

I felt like I was welcoming the finish to my left arm without any discomfort!

＜When the back of the left hand is turned down＞

1. For the movement that the left elbow naturally folds
2. Both hands go backwards first
3. Eliminates stress on the left back

With this swing flow, the convincing shot is about 50%, but I got a feeling that can be said to be a response, so I practiced repeatedly for a while and continued so that I could do it naturally.

And the next step is to keep your arm straight and swing it out☟

I feel that my arms are not straight(;´Д｀)
