TLDRLearn how to improve your golf swing with key insights from JT Thomas, including the importance of rib cage rotation, loading the right arm, and shifting into the trail side. These techniques will help you generate more power and hit the ball with precision.

Key insights

Rib cage rotation is crucial for creating separation between the pelvis and torso, enabling proper arm movement and generating power.

Loading the right arm over the pec enhances the potential to hit the ball up and creates a more positive impact on the golf swing.

Shifting into the trail side helps create internal rotation in the hip and generates more speed during the downswing.

Maintaining a rounded posture and avoiding spine extension enables better arm retraction and maximizes power in the swing.

Supinating the right arm and achieving external rotation aids in right arm retraction, allowing for greater power and control in the swing.
