Is Your Trail Arm Too Straight?

Nathalie Sheehan @nattiegolf has one important thing to fix in your set up to start hitting better shots.

A common problem for newer or higher handicap golfers is having the right arm too straight and locked out. This can lead to issues with the elbow pulling back or having no wrist hinge, making it difficult to hit consistent shots. Allow the right arm more relaxed and a little lower than the front arm, which will allow for a more natural and consistent swing.
