Keeping your arms straight in the golf swing is a basic skill demonstrated by the vast majority of good players. Conversely, the poorest golfers will often demonstrate the most flexed arms through the swing, leading to inconsistent contact and loss of power.
Simply put, the arms and the club form the radius of the swing, and a swing with a more constant radius (arms straight) should repeat and perform more effectively and consistently than a radius that is constantly changing throughout the swing (arms bending).
To improve your arms structure in the golf swing – which means keeping the lead arm straight in the backswing, and the trail arm straight in the follow-through – you need to learn it is about more than JUST the arms themselves!!!
Poor arm motion is almost ALWAYS a result of poor body motion. Learn to move the body correctly, and the arms will often improve without any conscious thought at all.
This video will explain how to move in the backswing and follow-through to promote the STRAIGHT ARMS that everyone in searching for, but seems so elusive for some many golfers out there.

Another great video. I really enjoy your videos and how you explain everything..
Thanks Rob now I'm off to watch the perfect backswing.
Rob is simply the best instructor period ! Everything is explained so clearly , after doing this drill my ball striking and consistency has gone thru the roof. Thank you Rob 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to post and educate! Much appreciated! Liked! Already subscribed!
Thank you!
Another extremely helpful video, Rob! Thank you! I’m excited to try this exercise!
Bending the arms isn’t just about extension and flexion, many people bend the arms through and post impact to open the face and try and correct face to path.
Thanks again for a great video
Great video! This is exactly what I need to work on! Thanks!
outstanding conceptual video allowing a feeling to comit to muscle memory. Is the weight balance Front foot and reaf foot the same with irons?
Great video. I think that straight arm release + spine extension + forearms crossing is perhaps the most confusing aspect of the golf swing for most golfers. Which is so damaging because it's the "moment of truth".
Rob you really do such a great job with your very clear and calm explanations and demonstrations. Thanks as always.
It looks like this would be hard on the back. Any thoughts?
Excellent explanation, demonstration, and recommended drill Rob on how to keep the arms straight in the golf swing! I have been working on this situation for a while now together with maintaining a proper body rotation. I definitely know when one or the other does not occur! Good Job Rob! Keep up the good work!
