Body turn swing VS. arm swing swing

in Downswing Help

weve all heard before swing with your body and let your arms go along for the ride(at least I’ve heard this lol)

For anyone doing this body swing correctly, how do you focus on not using your arms during downswing?

i constantly want assistance from my arms. I’ll hit great, I’ll hit bad. It’s a vicious cycle!

If your weight is 90 percent on your front foot at address, with your tail bone also pre-bumped toward the target, your arms will feel like Wimpy Tyrannosaurus rex arms, very unweighted with no tension whatsoever, but follow the Saguto tilt, and takeaway with upper arms glued and a light grip. For me, if I do all the aforementioned things, my sole swing thought is to maintain the flying wedge. Tom is a golf genius!

You are describing me perfectly. I am a fast with everything…swing included. I did something with the launch monitor a few weeks ago and it has really helped. I hit shots at 50% compared to 90%. In reality, that translated into 7i swing speed of 85mph vs 92-94mph. Throughout the bag, the slower swing did carry a little shorter, but because it had less spin and launched a little lower, it ran more. Net/net, distance difference was negligible. For me, my recent hit streak has all been trying to play the 85 mph tempo and swing (realize my clubs are all sale length so 85mph from 4i-LW works well).
