Hi everyone,

I really have a tough time with the right elbow. It gets stuck behind. One problem is a lack of flexibility to keep it pointed towards the right hip. I'm not sure how to get the right elbow towards and in front of the right hip quickly without it feeling really strange and inconsistent.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I've been Playing Golf for: 30 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 15

My typical ball flight is:

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Pull hook/push fade

First thing I'd look at is changing your feet and knees at address. Turn the feet out and don't "pinch" the knees inward. Going to help with the next couple pieces.

Also try to film yourself hitting a ball, gives us a better idea of what's going on so we can give you the best advice possible.

    • Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!
    • Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer. 
    • Day 70. Played 9 at Grand Niagara. Very very windy day, but I hit the ball well for me. The wind did help me hit my longest drive ever at 282y and I did make a birdie on a par 5. 
    • So, the struggle right now with the driver is that I’m dipping down with the body, shallowing wrongly.  When I try to get my arms down, I end up not turning much at all. End up hitting the sweeping overdraws or if I dip with the body then I’ll hit massive pushes. I’m trying to turn better with the body and also get the arms down at the same time. Easier with the irons than it does the driver. also, here’s an image when you almost entirely missed the ball. 🤣🤣🤣
