Subject: Re: What is an arm swing...

Jim Flick likes to say that "the arms and hands swing the instrument and the body supports the swing". That is one kind of 'arm swing'. Many of the people in the NG infomercial look to be using their arms & shoulders as the power source in the swing which is a different type of 'arm swing' from what Flick was describing.

I don't think Moe does an arm swing at all. To me his body seems to be clearly powering his swing. That power initiates the swing but unlike many CG swings today, the rotation of the body into follow through is caused by the arms pulling the body round. The body 'power stroke' stops with the golfer facing the ball. Moe attributed his power to the magnitude of his body shift (in 'Pipeline Moe').

I think there are many who do not see or feel this body power with NG and that may be why they refer to it as an arm swing. It was not apparent to me until recently how the lateral shift could be a DIRECT SOURCE of power.
