This is an incredible lesson I just learned today and I am a 2 handicap. Pinching the elbow has me flushing the ball. I have more muscle than most golfers and when I tried to squeeze the forearms like Hogan I had less than 3/4 backswing. With this, I get my hands high and squeeze the elbow and let that determine the rest. This is an UNDERRATED lesson! Subscribed.

Great advice. Saw it before as well. One other thing that can help is to squeeze the elbows slightly together at address and keep them that way in the backswing. Your arms will be straighter. Often when players try to relax as they address the ball both arms bend a bit at the elbow and the upper arms and elbows separate from the torso. This tends to make the right forearm more horizontal instead of vertical at the end of the backswing which puts the right elbow behind the wrist and hands on the downswing, the opposite of what you want.

Awesome Eric. I was giving this a try and can totally feel the difference even in practice swings. I was visualizing the boney area on the leading side of elbow being pulled in front of my belly button so that it would lead the rest of arm with wrist trailing behind.

Thanks as always Eric, would be nice to get some insight of the movement from the transition from the top of the backswing to start of downswing, as it seems like an ackward two movement proceedure to get the right elbow to lead? The 2 movement procedure also includes using your video/suggestion of pointing the trail palm away from you at the top of the backswing. Hope I made some sense.....? Would not be the 1st time if not 😂

Have been learning from you for some time Eric with a note pad almost full of your teachings. Thank you for your response and attempt to understand my question. What is not clear to me is, in order to get the club hip high from the top with bent right elbow etc what is the proper move from P4 to P6? Does the "engine" from the top come from the hips to start the backswing, the shoulders, the left arm/shoulder or the other? Understand we don't want to throw the arms down to P6 and should start slowly. Hit 200 balls today and f

Thanks Paul! Won't be the same for everyone---I personally feel more trail side stuff

Does thinking to supinate your right forearm during the downswing help? I've been doing this in slow motion in my living room and it does seem to promote both a bent back right wrist and right elbow in front and leading.

Is there any benefit to also feeling external rotation in the left bicep/upper arm (i.e., feeling both elbows working towards each other)?

What about the weight transfer? Would that then happen naturally, or would you combine this with a forward movement of the hips? (towards the target)

@CogornoGolf

4 ай бұрын

Hey! Yeah you definitely need to transfer weight.....that would be completely separate from this trail arm movement. If you do the weight transfer automatically (like some) then no need to think of it. If you do not do the weight transfer automatically (like some) then you absolutely do need to think of it. some on weight transfer that may help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWGnubGuftfFf5s.html&pp=ygUZRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHdlaWdodCBzaGlmdA%3D%3D kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKGps7d-oc60mbA.html&pp=ygUZRXJpYyBDb2dvcm5vIHdlaWdodCBzaGlmdA%3D%3D

So do you release the wrist after getting in the right position with the elbow in front

I would get with a good physical therapist in person to help there---they will be able to guide better than me

Impossible to do if your trail hip comes forward too early. You need proper hip movement (chair behind the butt drill) to be able to come down with your trail elbow in front of you.

Hey Anthony! Yes. All clubs for this one👍

I struggled with this move until I realised that it was much easier when i produced enough downward presssure on the club handle in the lower half of the swing to counterbalance the weight of the club head otherwise it felt like it was pulling my right elbow from my rib cage. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience.
