That's definitely a swing.

My novice advice would be to try to make the swing ENTIRELY right arm focused. Literally try to make everything else not exist and/or be simply along for the ride.

For me it is as much of a mental thing as it is a golfing thing. Consider it this way:

Swinging = a factory. There is lots of workers, lots of machines, several stations all working to create one thing.

Hitting = a blacksmith with a hammer. There is one thing, one guy, one station, it is simplicity.

The great thing about less moving parts is you have less things to break down. The bad thing about simplicity is it doesn't take much to wreck the motion.

For the take away, make it completely right fore arm driven. Let the body respond to movement but not create movement. Try to keep the club face from opening in your take away, almost like you wanted to keep the club face pointed at the ball for as long as possible.

For the down stroke, keep your right foot stuck in the ground for as long as you can. Feel like the hips are quiet, the feet are quiet, the knees are quiet, everything is just kinda there.

Then simply use the right arm to power down and out through the ball.


A swinger uses his entire body to create power to transfer to the ball.

A hitter simply positions his body in such a way to provide a stable base to drive the right arm down the plane line.


For me the trick is to feel like the body and pivot is no longer powering everything like a swinger does and truly make EVERYTHING right arm centric.

You'll know when you do it because it is a COMPLETELY different feeling.
