Whose right?

"The important thing in the golf swing is getting the body to control the motion of the arms, the hands, and the club… As I term it, it is the dog wagging the tail, rather than the tail wagging the dog."

David Leadbetter Famous coach to legendary tour pros like Nick Faldo and Nick Price.


"Am I saying that the golf swing is exclusively the work of your hands and arms? Absolutely not. What I am saying is that the turning elements -- the shoulders, hips, and legs -- should respond to the swinging elements -- the hands, wrists, arms, and the instrument [the golf club].

Simply put, the swing turns the body both ways, backward and forward. The body does not turn the swing.

Jim Flick Jack Nicklaus' instructor after Jack's life long coach Jack Grout passed away.


Where does the power come from?

Whose right?

"If you think in terms of your body being the engine, and all the power generating from this engine through your arms and hands into the golf club, you're going… [to be able to create] a lot more power in your golf swing."
