Hi guys. I recently taped my swing and noticed something wrong with my impact position. While a strong golfer will have their right shoulder down and their right arm fairly bent at impact, my arms are almost straight and my shouders are square (rather than open). I am looking for drills or swing thoughts as a way to produce this look at impact. Any ideas? Thanks!

I doubt that axis tilt applied correctly will be a negative component of your swing. You may be experiencing club-face control and flipping, or some other issue. If you could post a video, I'm sure that some of the real experts around here will help out.
I don't think you'll find anyone in the hall of fame who does not incorporate axis tilt.

axis tilt could get the hips forward and keep the right arm bent.

Are you stalling your pivot and making room for a flip? Hmm? Hmm?

In all the time i've been on here...
and taken lessons from Brian and all.....I FINALLY GOT IT THIS WEEKEND....smacking the ball with my pivot. Damn, I'm thick!
Got to learn to time that release now. Beautiful power and ball flight. Direction erratic but I think it's was due to release point.
Could really feel that arm across the chest longer....like I was flinging a frisbee! Very cool!

release should have automaticly through the work of the pivot no?
this is what I have worked on,,,, taking all timing out of my swing , no flip all pivot
Every sport requires a timing element.Golf is no different.
If your swing is pivot controlled then the timing element becomes the responsibility of the pivot,not the hands.
timing to me means you have a spot in the swing where you tell yourself "NOW"...........maybe I think of timing different than most......non timed to me means the pivot makes everything automatic
I think maybe there is no such thing a "now" in a golf swing, due to response time...
Timing is just sequenced events done correctly...all is pre-planned and pre-conditioned..i.e. it's no good telling yourself to "now" at impact, or even slightly pre-impact, because the body won't respond until way after impact...
I always thought there had to be some sense of 'oomph' somewhere in the swing but Puttmad's coments have me re-thinking this. uummm.
Any "oomph" must be initiated at the top, or sometimes even before...it takes roughly 1/3 second from the top to impact....for most of us (not all), any command to stimulate any set of muscles must be made at the top (ish) in order for the muscles to have time to fire before the club comes down to the impact position...
There are exceptions to this however, eg there is an Israeli policeman who can snatch a gun from someone pointing it in his face and reverse it and shoot the guy in under 1/3 second...but he has done daily training all his adult life....
This is why the "late hit" fad a few years ago was such a failure...by the time your body tries to command and react so late in the downswing, you are way past impact and basically trying that move will usually throw you right off balance (usually falling onto the back foot)....now there's nothing wrong with a late hit, my problem is with the way it was "explained" and "taught"...
