By Dr. T. J. Tomasi, Keiser University College of Golf Senior Faculty and Director of Research Few things will disrupt your ball flight more than too much forearm rotation. Two bones in your forearm rotate over one another to allow the palm of your hand to turn skyward and to the ground. These are ‘handy’…
By Dr. T. J. Tomasi, Keiser University College of Golf Senior Faculty and Director of Research I have said many times that whatever else golf is, it’s a game of geometry – lines and angles on a four-dimensional playing field that relate the golfer, the ball, and the target.
