Most Golfers Get This WRONG… The Lead Arm Move That Hits It Straight

Most golfers struggle with consistency for one simple reason — they don’t truly understand what the lead arm should be doing in the golf swing, until now! In this video, I break down one of the most misunderstood movements in golf: lead arm rotation, both backswing and downswing. When the lead arm rotates correctly: The club stays on plane The clubface matches the path naturally Curvature disappears Straight shots become repeatable Get it wrong, and you’re forced to rely on timing, compensations, and luck. You’ll see exactly: How the lead arm should rotate in the backswing What changes (and what doesn’t) in the downswing Why this move allows the club to square itself How elite ball strikers use this without “manipulating” the hands This isn’t about adding speed or making a complicated swing change — it’s about unlocking a movement that already exists in every great golf swing. If you want to hit straighter shots, reduce curve, and finally understand why your swing works (or doesn’t), this is a video you need to watch. 👇 Let me know in the comments if this is something you’ve never been told before 📲 The Chris Ryan Golf Academy App The all-in-one coaching platform designed to help you train smarter, practice better, and play your best golf! 🎯 ✅ Structured training plans ✅ Fun & effective practice games ✅ Exclusive content not on YouTube Start your 7-day free trial today! ⬇️ 🔗 https://www.chrisryangolf.com/chris-ryan-golf-academy-app/ ⛳ Want to Play Better Golf?
