Kissing Forearms

Senior Golfer Posts : 437 Join date : 2013-12-01

These are 2 of my favourite swings. No surprise I have watched them for countless times and analysed it to bits.

I'd just like to confirm my thoughts here to see if my observations are sound or did I misinterpret certain portions of the swing.

My conclusion is that both of them have "kissing forearms" after impact. And the more I watch it in slow motion, the more I think I am right about it.

Like to hear any thoughts. What do you see?

P.S. I am not here to discuss if kissing forearms are right or wrong.

Cheers.

Forearm is the part between your elbow and your wrist. Do you mean deltoids?

I meant forearms. Left and right forearms kissing.

not sure if it is due to the camera angle that resulted in you having this perception..

but I'm not a coach.. hence.. please dun take my comment as the gospel truth.. Smile

Bro,

The forearms will never "kiss" if you need to keep them in the V position. What u saw is the rotation of the wrist that resulted in the idea that the forearms met after impact.

I m not a pro, dun take my words for it. I m still finding my swing..... Just my 1cent worth.

Bro Willy, were you on the way to Isetan Sale when I bumped into you? Sorry it happened so fast and my son was sleeping so I did not stop to chat.

Can you elaborate a little about "keep them in the V position"?

Cheers.

The kissing forearm thingy should be near the finish.

Even at impact, the V formed by the arms should still be maintained.

With reference to the Josh Zander video, I am definitely working on a "roll release". Which I see Luke and Lydia both use.

Bro are you more of the "stable release"?

Yes, I think I m more of a stable release. Still working on the swing thou.
