Itās arms day for golfers
Thatās right, itās an excuse to work the arms extra this week.
But heyā¦
Our newsletter readers arenāt a bunch of upside down triangles walking around the golf course either.

(And if that hurt the soul a bit then you might be that guyā¦sorry)
So donāt skip that squat machine because you donāt want to be āsore on the courseā
Alright, now that thatās out of the way
In a few short linesā¦
(I know some of my newsletters get lengthy, sorry about that lol)
Whatās essential about your arms in your swing are two things your:
Shaft Pressure and Face Pressure.
I was learning this last weekend while watching a video from Danny Maude on his LIVE golf lesson he got from Pete Cowen
Now, that video is over 36-minutes long and after watching itā¦
Along with another 30-40 minute geek out on these two facets of our favorite sportā¦
There are TWO key things almost everyone does wrong that reduces these essential components of our swing
#1 People either LEAD or TRAIL with their arms
I want you to do me a favor for this one, stand up and act like youāre about to hit a normal golf swing.
When most people do this they are eitherā¦
LEADING or TRAILING with their club on their swing which greatly reduces the impact your club face has on the ball.
We LEAD with our club when we come down to the ball and our lead elbow is ahead of our hip.
At this point of our swing or lead arm needs to be almost parallel with our lead leg like this š
On the other side of this you have when youāre TRAILINGā¦
Which in case you havenāt guessed it happens when your lead arm is too far behind.
In case you donāt know which you tend to do on the course just pay attention to how your shot leans.
SLICING or CHIPPING your shot often results from swinging your arms faster than youāre rotating your hips
AND
HOOKING or DROPPING your shot often results from not swinging your arms fast enough.
Now letās talk about that Shaft Pressureā¦
#2 People FORGET they have forearms
Yeah.
You know that big lump of space between your wrist and your elbow?
Weāre using that today.
Danny Maude called this part āturning the face down to the ballā
For this youāre going to be opening up the face of your club to maximize the speed of your swing.
It might seem difficult to picture in your mind but if you do the drill ofā¦
ā Starting from almost a quarter swing
ā Get as much force as you can from there to the ball
Youāll be surprised how much extra yardage it adds to your shot
PLUS
It will increase your accuracy with ensuring your club face is always open at the bottom of your swing
Now, I also have some terrible swings with (frustratingly) great results for you today
Those ugly swing that are frustratingly goodā¦š

Supply Chain Problems incoming
There sadly was an explosion at Launch Technologies, a golf-ball manufacturer in Taiwan just a few weeks ago.
Golf News has more in-depth coverage in case you want to read up on the full story.
Now Iām not here to make light of the situation or down your mood today but this is an important story of golfers everywhere.
This facility is one of the top producers of golfballs for companies like
Callaway
Mizuno
Bridgestone
TaylorMade
And loads of other smaller companies as well
Now, obviously Callaway will be fine.
Theyāve got several factories in case such situation happens.
But if youāre a fan of a niche ball provider you might experience some supply chain issues if not seeing price hikes as well.
So this means you may only have two options going forward,
1ļøā£ Stock up on balls now before any price hikes or supply chain problems occur
2ļøā£ Try out some new balls from other companies
If you can thoughā¦
Stay patient with the small brands if youāre already buying from them.
Iām not going to get all preachy over here on this obviously, you do with your money what you want.
But as someone whoās seen supply chain drastically impact friendsā business and brands I know how far that loyalty goes to them.
Alright, enough sad stories and stuff.
Hereās another funny meme
