Golfweek instruction: How to stop only swinging with your arms

Swinging with your arms is half the battle when it comes to a proper golf swing.

Fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek explains how to transfer your weight to your lead leg in the downswing to avoid the dreaded arm swing.

Having proper rotation of the hips and thoracic spine can aid in a powerful weight shift during the golf swing. This weight shift can help compress the ball, add distance to your shots and create greater accuracy when striking the ball.
