Jeff Quinney pre shot move (???)

[rstyle]

If you watched the Players Tournament, Quinney makes this pulling the right elbow up and out twice before every shot.
That move would probably make me pull the club up and out and make me swing over the top.
Of course, I am missing something since he does not do that.
They mentioned something about his working on something....................
Any ideas or explanation??

The announcers said he has gone to a one plane swing and that move helps him start the backswing on plane for a one plane swing which is more flatter. A two plane swing starts the club back more traditionally by keeping as much width in the takeaway as possible, whereas the one plane attempts to marry the left arm to the chest as soon as possible.

Funny.................I thought it had something to do with his right arm and elbow and it is the opposite. It is a move to control the position of the left arm.

I never saw him go up and out, really. He keeps it pretty close to his right side and pulls the club back a bit more inside than some other players.

Personally, I'd call that "in" more than "out." His right elbow stays pretty close to his side.

I thought he was about to do the chicken dance with one wing

I guesss it is hard to explain. I meant back, towards the right (out or separating from the body) towards the camera and not out forward towards the ball. Did not seem like he was pulling it against his body.
Wow !!! Hard to explain
Oh well...........................just curious.

(To me, Mike Weir seems to bring the elbow against his body and take the club back parallel to the ground twice before making the final swing)

I have a buddy that hits a big draw/hook. Recently he took a lesson and the guy told him he needs to fly his right elbow to straighten his shots. On the other hand, I try to keep my elbow tucked against my body to avoid going right. This may not have anything to do with why Quinney does this, but I find it interesting how two people can be working on the exact opposite things, both to straighten their shots.

I am fascinated by his swing. I was watching it closely all Sunday. It looks very awkward, because he is bent over at the waist, but has his arms relaxed with an angle between his arms and the club at address, but it really works for him! I've tried this and it feels really weird. I'm trying to get into a one-plane swing but I think I need to find a good instructor to watch me.
