Gentlemen,

I occasionally observe in my follow-thru a somewhat bent left elbow (I can't even bring myself to use the nasty phrase).  I know one way to address this is to have better extension at the finish (raise belt buckle) to give the arms room to stay straight.  When I do raise that belt buckle, I notice that it tends to move my swing path outside-in.  Is this generally the case with more extension or am I doing it incorrectly?

Thank you for any thoughts.

your left elbow must bend or fold as you follow through. However, it should not bend pointing up (chiken wing).

??Raising your belt buckle???

Do you have a video? The main reason I've seen people have a bent elbow isthattheydontcontinue turning through impact. If your turn stalls your arms have no room to keep going and so they must bend.

The weight of pressure has to be far enough forward, if you extend too early, can rotate the path to the left.

    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
