Arms straight

Arms are good drills to practice if the ball is going right with little or a bunch of slice. If you are hitting the ball thin or too low on the clubface. Also, if you want some effortless power then have a go at lag.

Arms straight - square club face (101)

When I used The Drill to learn the 90-90-90 technique it confirmed to me the value of the Rotwary Swing methodology.

80-90% of ball direction is dictated by the position of club face at impact. Stable arms at impact result in stable, square to target, club face.

Practice a take away until the club shaft is parallel to the ground. Check that club face is square - meaning the toe of the club is pointed to the sky. Now move back to a square club face at contact. Then keep going until you reach the follow through with club shaft parallel to the ground and the club face is square - toe pointing to the sky. Practice club shaft parallel to contact to club shaft parallel follow through. Over and over until you get the feel of a square club face at the three positions: backswing, contact and follow-through.

Take away with both arms straight. Right arm will eventually bend in arm parallel drill. Keeping the arms straight is possibly the biggest “bang for the buck” concept for most amateurs because it will improve on a consistent square club-face at impact.
