Pushing with the lead arm in the golf swing is one of the most common problems we encounter when teaching golfers proper rotation in the golf swing.
In other words, many golfers take the club back primarily by pushing their lead arm across the center line — the sternum — during the golf backswing.
When you push from the lead side, by the time the lead arm gets across the chest, it feels fully loaded.
