Can I still generate power without pulling my arms in the downswing?
—Yes, power comes from proper body rotation and sequencing, not from exerting force through the arms.
How can I prevent myself from pulling my arms?
—You can practice drills such as the alignment stick drill to develop the feel of using your body rather than your arms in the downswing.
