What the lesson shows

Mike Adams distinguishes three levels: shoulders, elbows, or torso, and shaft or hips. The club can move up one spot and move down any number of spots, which results in nine swing styles, all correct; you just have to find the one that works for you. The position of your right arm is the key: right hand above the neck (on top), to the side (side on), or below (under).

Each stance requires a wrist cock. The golfer who under-swing—who tends to close the club—needs a vertical reinforcement; the golfer at the top, whose club goes beyond the line, from a diagonal stitching toward the right shoulder; the golfer, with a side-on stance, from a horizontal arm. During the downswing, the position of the right elbow relative to the right hip (behind, above, or in front) corresponds to a specific release: cover, corner, or extension. Tests are then used to determine your profile.

The Exercise, Step by Step

At address and during the backswing, note the position of your right hand: above, to the side, or below.
Look at your right elbow: is it tucked in close to your body, aligned with the crease of your shirt, or raised and pulled back?
Match the corresponding arm: vertical if the arm is below, diagonal if it is above, horizontal if it is to the side.
As you lower yourself, watch where your right elbow ends up in relation to your right hip.
Choose the right type of stretch—cover, corner, or extension—based on your profile.
Have a teacher review your work to confirm your model.

Key Takeaways

There are nine different swing patterns based on the upward and downward swing planes, all of which are correct.

The right hand can be above, to the side of, or below the neck.

Right arm below: wrists held vertically.

Right arm straight up: raised diagonally toward the right shoulder.

Right arm at your side: horizontal guard.

The position of the right elbow relative to the right hip is associated with a certain type of relaxation.

Mistakes to Avoid

Trying to copy a single swing style that doesn't suit your body.
Pair a wristband that doesn't match the position of your right arm.
Mix pieces from different styles instead of matching them.
