Thanks for all you've done for me over the years Love these little tips I can practise Tiger has nothing to worry about but it makes the game more enjoyable for me
You have the body action right but you are ignoring the role of the mass of the lead arm in the golf swing. The lead arm works the arm of a Trebuchet, getting pinned to the chest starting at address then flung off the chest like an unbelted car passenger in the car wreck, accelerating the considerable mass of the arm towards the target and pulling the bent trail arm straight. To understand how much force flinging the mass of the lead arm creates just swing the arm without holding a club. The key biomechanical actions to make the lead arm fly off the chest and drag the club head though the ball are the locking of the hip 45° open by keeping the back foot on the ground until the club head being dragged forward toward target by the lead arm and side bending away from target - curving spine sideways ) - during the downswing which causes the the shoulders to stop when the hips do. The lead arm flying off the chest when hips and shoulders stop - it feels like hips and shoulders have hit a solid wall when done correctly - pulls the trailing arm straight. The leverage of the bent trail arm is what causes the lead arm to swing down and toward the target not out away from the body. To understand the cause and effect just put the arms and hand in the top of backswing position without a club then swing them down, keeping the back foot on the ground so the hips are forced to stop. The reason recreational golfers don’t understand and used this applied physics is because they lift the back foot upon feeling resistance of the front foot to the hip rotation thinking they need to whip the lead arm, still connected to chest around the body. That is exactly why the swings of recreation golfer are much weaker than the pros who know how to “hit the wall” to release and accelerate the lead arm to target like a Trebuchet.
Thank you for the tip.

Happy you like the videos. I try to keep then to two minutes. Typically enough time to demonstrate an effective drill without confusion👍
