Does anyone have a similar problem with their trail elbow? I’m looking for some possible ‘feel’ ideas. I use the ‘keep the trail arm straight’ which I’m able to in countless mirror work and practice swings. Can’t seem to do it when I’m hitting. 

I bet you could if you swung at 20% speed.

Maybe even 40%.

Get my hint?

A couple of thoughts: Film it. You don't need to post it. Feel is not real, and you might feel like you're making a huge change but not actually changing much in the picture. It can be frustrat

Getting my back swing to a better position. I’ll have a face on later but keeping head from moving so far, reducing lateral sway on downswing. I’ve been going very slow with this. Took a brief hiatus

Kevin, Here it is. Your left elbow is more "in front of you" and less "around you" here. It's also a bit higher, or farther off your chest. I'm also not even sure your left hand is o

Yeah. I honestly haven’t gone 20-40% in actual swings regarding the elbow. I do it slowly over and over in the mirror and on practice swings. Then I try it on full swing with contact at normal speed. Headed to the range now damn it. Good call.

Took a brief hiatus to the Venetos method...long story. I’ve kept my Evolvr for now but am working with an instructor at my club I really like. Just wanted to show some progress. Thanks guys.

Lots of hard work recently. I’ve been working with an instructor at my club that I really like. He’s been great for me. He started me with the same priority piece as my Evolvr instructor. I’ve maintained my Evolvr as I plan to post these to get input from him as well. I just do better with in person teaching. I’ve been fighting an awful drift towards the target including my head. The bunker was used to put me in less comfortable area, to see my contact on the low point of my swing and to shorten my swing which was causing my trail elbow to get way stuck behind me. The DTL view was a pause at the top drill to work on my trail elbow not getting stuck behind me and to help stop my target wards hip

Looking better and, though I know you're doing drills and things so it's bound to look different, it's looking "even more different than that" if you know what I mean.

Well I was actually glad to see on the bunker swing my head actually go back a little. I’ve had such a hard time stopping that forward drift it was good to finally see my head not move 9-10” forward.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
