During the downswing, is your right arm supposed to be LOCKED open or FLEXED slightly when the club reaches parallel to the ground? If its fully released, that would be similar to just letting your arms hang down. After watching DVD #2 last night Im a bit confused on where my arm should be.

Most golfers release the flex in the right elbow too quickly. What you'll see in these golfers is shoulders that are too level. You shouldn't "run out of right arm" until after impact.

Just in case some people have no clue what I was talking about, the yellow line in the 3rd pic iswhat I am asking about. It is unclear to me if this are should be slightly bent or straight.

Still bent at impact. And slightly after impact.
