How do you train your left arm for strength through impact? Commonly, athletes have a dominant side of their body. In many cases, a right handed golfer will be dominant with their right arm, which can be problematic. Lance Gill and Mark Smith have a solution for balancing your arm strength.

You’re not ‘pulling’ anything, just holding your left arm dominant position and turning the body. The left arm then rotates around WITH the? body.
Training the lead arm to be more dominant, and hence, the trail arm to be more submissive,? is a long process.It has to start with the mind (swing positions, swing perception, dynamics of the club, etc), then go into the grip, and then exercises. I think exercises should be performed with a golf club. Would’ve been good to have Mark demo the left arm only practice…
Left arm only shots are the way forward-much more stable as you are pulling it into impact. Anything that is pulled follows a more linear path (think of pushing vs pulling a golf cart down the fairway-which is easier to keep in? a straighter line?)

Very cool video? guys.
Nice ‘outta-bounds post’ legs there Mark!
