One thing that makes golf so challenging is that it is predominantly a lead-arm, lead-side dominant game, and of course most players are right-handed.

That is not to say the trail side and the trail arm do not play a significant role in the golf swing. They absolutely do — if you have watched the other videos, you know that.

But it is still the lead arm that does much of the heavy lifting when it comes to controlling the club face angle, the swing plane, and path. If you do not know how to use the lead arm correctly, that is where problems develop.
