My anatomy and range of motion don't allow my hands to get behind my shoulder, under any circumstance. I have since stopped taking lessons because I'm not able to do what's asked of me by instructors.
A very nice video touching a subject that is very rarely discussed. The problem I can see is that body handicapped (and often senior) golfers turn their chests together with turning their hips resulting in moving the handle too much out. It often makes a pivot-subdued swing not very effective and prone to swinging accross the ball. Restraining hip turn (and consequently chest turn) in the downswing seems to be not a good medicine, IMO, because it is against one's will to hit the ball hard.
When I’m trying to be aware of whether my arms are being active in the swing and avoid it, the forces of the club at different points of the swing start to take over and get out or position. For example at the top of the swing if I don’t have tension in the wrist the club head will continue over my shoulder right? How can I feel the difference between guiding resistance and using my arms to actively?
@ddahlquist - I'd love to hear your thoughts on the mechanism behind Cameron Champs shallowing mechanism because his is absolutely different from any other's I've seen. So interesting and unique!
I love your observations Dana! Thank you!
Pro Pilot thank you. I try to keep it simple as possible.

Great vid. However Ms Park has iron and Rory driver exaggerates plane and swing length
Do you have a video that would help an 11 handicap keep his arms up and back longer in the downswing?
Very helpful, thanks

Howdy partner . .
great nugget of info here, as a twenty three year old instructor- Need more of this!!
Title has nothing to do with the content
Interesting how Peterson has more PGA tour wins than Tommy :)
He parlayed quite a bit more...

So the guy shares great swing knowledge and you make a comment like that? Jeeez…
