Right arm at the top of the backswing in golf?

Question

What happens to a typical ball flight if the right arm does not maintain a right angle at the top of the back swing? i have the tendency to to have an angle alot less than 90 degrees.

Answer 1

I honestly don't think it makes a difference. There are so many different golf swings, just use whatever suits you. You don't have to have the best looking swing to be the best player.

Have a good one...

Answer 2

You will never gain timing. Alot of pulls and slices. without the good shots. the ball should remain low as the biggest difference though on good shots.  

Answer 3

push the ball to the right!

Answer 4

Both the first two answers are correct. You will tend to have a flat swing plane and push right.Timing will be really mechanically difficult to achieve.I have one friend that cannot reach 90 degrees because of an old injury. He sets up with a very closed club face and hooks everything just so he can rely on something.
