My A-Ha (Not That 80s Group From Oslo) Moment

[Maverick]

I got up and was debating to go solo on a back 9 or hit the range..decide the latter.  Lately, as I get started back into playing, TBH I see alot of TikTok swing videos and many of them are really good.  I never understood the importance of the trailing right arm until recently.  Most importantly keeping that right elbow tucked in on the down swing.  Geesus..where have you been?!  It felt so goooood.  I always felt that I never felt really square to the ball at impact, but MAN, when I got that elbow tucked in..the consistency was amazing..and this is what will bring me back into the game.  It was a great day today.

Not to rain on your parade, but…

• Feel ain't real.
• What "worked" today probably won't work next week. Feels change over time, too.
• IMO when people try to "tuck" the trail elbow they leave it stuck and get somewhat un-athletic with it. It often gets trapped by the ribs and can't get back in front properly.

My recommendation: record yourself, post here. Mind your camera angles.

I’m glad that’s working for you. I’ve been back playing golf for 4 years or so and have had 12,349.5 A-Ha moments. I hope yours lasts longer than mine have!
