I think that you are correct.

When golfers get mad with their swing, they often try harder, and that means
that they often become switters - adding right arm power to their 4:2:3 swinging action.

Adding right arm power can produce two harmful effects as I demonstrate in this next posed photo.



I am using a short child-iron to demonstrate two potentially harmful effects from adding right arm power to a swinger's action.

Image 1 shows the standard swinger's action. As the hands approach impact, the left wrist should be flat and the right wrist should be bent back, and the hands should lead the club into impact. If the kinetic sequencing was correct and the release timing correct, the clubface should become square at impact if PA#3 release is completed properly.

Image 2 shows a golfer trying to add right arm power by palmar flexing the right wrist as the hands approach impact. That's an obvious disaster!

Image 3 shows a golfer trying to add right arm power by actively straightening the right elbow via active right triceps muscle action when the hands reach the delivery position - that action drives the hands through the impact zone too fast and that action interferes with the timely release of PA#3 => open clubface at impact => pushed shots.

Jeff.
