Feel ≠ Real. 😁
For someone like me who has a lot of twist and little arm turn down. The feel is absurdly obnoxious. I hate it, but it works. I am sure for those who get a lot of hands down behind them, feeling the elbow a bit more in front of them makes sure they do not get stuck. Maybe better golfers tend to have that motion naturally, I may be able to see how that feel became something.
At first glance - option 1 mainly because I’ve never played a dedicated par 3 and 18 holes of par 5’s, well l’m pretty sure I would be exhausted from playing that length. I have rarely made the green in two on a five, so not getting there in two is not a sore spot. At second glance, it’s still a par 3 with 6i max.
Especially since the lead arm pins more against the chest in the early downswing before it releases down, in a lot of these high level swings.
But there is a difference between this trail elbow positioning:
And this one:
I wish they went into describing how exactly these two positions are different and why teachers use feels like "trail elbow more in front or under."
#2, Golf would get really boring if you only play Par 3's. Par 5s let you have a lot more strategy and design to play with.
Also.. as a short hitter I'm normally laying up on the 2nd shot.
