By Swinging with your Right Arm. Which means Pulling using the Rope Handle Technique.

The Right Arm isn't really designed to swing in the Golf Stroke. It is more comfortable pushing in a linear fashion, and actually a safer motion to perform in terms of how we're built.

Yes, ball would have to be positioned before Right Elbow (which is the stroke center, so low point would be directly beneth it) for ball to be struck before Low Point. This probably means ball will be back toward the right shoulder as you've said. Also remember that the right elbow is constantly moving forwards, and hence low point is also moving forwards also.

Discussing about the Right Arm Swing is great, and trying it out the range is good fun. But consistently playing with it? Not for me!

Tongzilla,

Hmmmm....the right arm swing in play is great...I won the golf tournament I was in today....the win came down to the last hole...par 5....right arm swing performed really well...Draw with the Driver off of the tee....sweet 13 degree 3 woood to about 110 yards from the hole...third shot pitching wedge to 3 feet from the hole....missed the putt for birdie...made par to win the tourney by one stroke.

You just don't go out to the driving range and expect miracles with the right arm swing...it takes about 3 to 6 months of practice and play to see really good results...forearm muscles need to be conditioned.

Fantastic to hear you're having such great success with the Right Arm Swing!

I would be excited to see what the Right Arm Swing looks like in action.

Tongzilla,

Checkout...any of the Tomasello videos...Jodie Mudd's swing sequence on Brian's website...watch Ernie Els(If you don't believe me just read his book "How to Build a Classic Golf Swing")....watch Retief Goosen...

The Right Arm Swing looks like any good solid on plane golf swing...there NOTHING unusual about it in appearance...

Once Bagger and Trig get the latest video of Tomasello up and running you will be able to see Tommy swing with this approach...it's the approach I'm using...instead of sweep loading like Tomasell uses, I use Snap Loading.

Ernie Els is a great Swinger, but not a Right Arm Swinger. His Stroke Center is the Left Shoulder which gives a much longer Swing Radius.

Why is Els not a Right Arm Swinger? Because his Stroke Center is not the Right Elbow! So by definition he isn't a Right Arm Swinger.

Look at Els' Impact here:

Anyone who thinks his Stroke Center is the Right Elbow, please put your hand up!

Anyone who didn't raise their hand, and still thinks Els is using a Right Arm Swing -- you don't know what's a Right Arm Swing!
