Early Right Elbow Bend

A
Anonymous

The Feel

As soon as the club starts moving back, feel your right elbow begin to soften and bend. Don't keep it straight and rigid—let it start folding immediately. By the time your hands pass your right thigh, there's already a noticeable bend in the trail elbow. This early bend encourages your arms to work more vertically rather than dragging flat and around.

Helps With

Promotes a more vertical arm swing and gets the club set on a better plane earlier. Prevents the arms from getting too flat and behind you in the takeaway, which can cause over-the-top compensations later.

When to Try It

Arms swinging too flat in the takeaway; club getting stuck behind you; feeling like you have to lift or reroute at the top; want a more vertical, on-plane backswing.

Did this feel work for you?
