"Hello I am Arthur DeBolt on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to show you the way in which to use your arm and the club so that it works as a lever. Now all things have certain lever systems, but this particular one is called golf lever system. I am going to take my bar arm and I am going to lay it against my body in the ribcage, and I am going to set the club behind the ball, exactly the same as if I am ready to start my swing. The first lever is the club shaft. If you notice, it is connected from my hand to the end of the club. The second lever is from my hand to my elbow, and the third lever is from my elbow to my shoulder. So, when I come down to the ball, I can use two levers by keeping my left arm straight, it coming to the ball, or I can use three lever one, two and three. Some people use the three lever system, but very abbreviated. For example I will give you an idea of a pretty Couples kind of a swing, which is, he uses a three-lever system in hitting his ball. I am not sure that he would admit that, but I have observed him to do that. So what we want to do now is to say to ourselves, “which system do I want to use?” A two-lever system like this, which means that I can keep the left arm straight, or I can use this three-lever system, in which I keep using each part of my arm in accordance with how I want to hit the ball. If I wish to shape the ball a certain way, I may want to do that. For example, if I wish to get it to fade, I may wish to use the three-lever system, because it gives me a little more control over sliding the club across the ball more. If you will notice, there are lot of people out there that play this game that slice the ball; they will use a three-lever system. It’s your choice."
