Question for the Teachers. Back of the elbows to the Sky

[MbolicGolf]

I would like either some validation or reasons why this doesn't work or is no important.

I have found concentrating of putting the backs of my elbows "to the sky" in the set up makes my ball striking more consistant.  It also sets my grip alot better to help prevent casting, and promotes turing the shoulder down into the swing. I suspect by pronating the arm it rotates the shoulders toward the scapula giving you stable upper body position while maintaing the rounding back. Is there any geometric, anatomical truth to this?

Thanks.

P.S. At the risk of sounding arrogant, can we please keep the monkey swinging and thread jacking to a minimum?

Can you demonstrate this with two pictures showing us what you mean?

Hogan famously wanted the elbows to point down and towards the hips. For example (the arrows are thrown on here pretty quickly, but I think the point is made):

When I get home I will take pictures.

I think I have been subconciously pointing the insided of the elbows towars each other. I think it changes the geomety and could be the sounce of the inconsistnecy in my ball striking.
