Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
In this week's tip I want to talk to you about the turn you make to the top and what I deem the full turn versus the fake turn. As we get older we lose flexibility a lot of time is easier to fake your turn you get to about here the arms kind of break up, and you say well I got the club to parallel. Unfortunately the shoulders have not made a full turn and it makes it very difficult for you to gain the distance that you're capable of.
The regular turn or the full turn that like to see is obviously the biggest shoulder turn that you can make with the most arm with that you can have and you can see with my flexibility. I can turn to about here and I have my arms kind of out away from my body a little bit. that to me is a full turn for me personally. So the key for you is to find how much can you turn your shoulders and keep your hands and arms away from your head that your full turn don't fake turn it. Get here and let the arms break up because if you do that you're not going to be in the distance in the power that you're capable of. So make that full turn keep those arms away from the head as best you can and your flexibility will tell you where you can and can't go.
