Connected Arms anyone?

Is it good or bad to have the biceps connected (not forced or glued) to the chest from address to backswing to impact? I was told that this helps get you in a good on plane backswing position AND helps to stop overswinging (basically stops me from "lifting" my arms at the end of my backswing).

Your thoughts please.

300Drive,

Substitute the Flying Wedges alignments and the structure of Extensor Action for 'connected biceps' and your Overswing will soon be a thing of the past.

how does pp#4 differ from connected left arm?

PP#4 is 'loaded' vs. in the strict 'connection' view, it is 'glued' - which makes for a stiff, non-flowing, motion - the opposite of what you want.

I have to agree with Yoda man. I used to try to keep my forward bicep attached to my chest throughout the backswing and then just turn my torso back and through...worked pretty good...but I had trouble altering my trajectory from one single flight...I dunno, it just doesn't work as good. Now I try to sweep my hands back and to the outside (with lots of extension)...have never hit it better or as effortlessly.

...and I used to be very skeptical of this method. Give it a try man, much more versatile and consistent IMO.

Mr. L B had stopped doing the junk now. Might be he started to realised that it is junk. My coach told me that connection is all about maintaining the body and arm in sync, rather then a lot of people talking about glueing the hands to the body.
One thing that I was told about stopping overswing is clearing the hip. But again, is that hip movement is caused by a balancing act (subconcious) rather then moving it conciously? Any concious motion that closer to the fix centre would affect the overall balance.

#4 accumulator in a nutshell:

The left arm is taken across the chest.

The chest move the arm in the startdown.

In hitting, the right arm pushes the left arm off of the chest to the follow through.

In swinging, the pivot THROWS it off.
