In this video, I'm looking at how the trail arm creates width in the golf swing, not the lead arm. The combination of arm width, lift, wrist and elbow bend, along with body rotation, helps create your optimal backswing.

It is easier to transition the club when you have width. If the club gets behind you too much, in most cases we will see an over-the-top and narrowing of the hand path on the way down. Leading to poor contact and a reaction of the hands to save the swing.
