Just want to share a picture of something that helped me understand the angle that I need to have on the backswing on my right elbow.

I used paper box, gorilla tape and a smartphone arm band. It's not perfect and after a couple of practice swings was already loosing its format, but I was able to get the concept and able to understand the position of the right elbow. There is a product out there that you can buy, but I thought for the usage I could build something real quick.

Cool.

Yeah @iacas made one out of tubing or something like that. You can slide your right arm in and it fits around the middle of arm.

It´s great !! however I think a lot about this position, and sometimes I´m not sure if it´s crucial for a good swing. Some people don´t keep the 90º angle of the right arm and they still strike good. I feel that when I try to keep my angle, I don´t turn my torso enough. What I mean is that there are other factors much more important than this for a good swing. . . IMO

    • Day 556 - 2026-04-10 Played another 17 holes, this time skipping #11 to pass a group that was still on 14 when we were finishing up. 😛 Not as good as yesterday, but more distracted by the mind's eye.
    • Yes, you've gone on about it for like 20 years now. 😉 
    • I really do find the masters stuffed shirts to be insufferable. Or is it instufferable?
    • I'm hearing this morning that Robert MacIntyre may be facing some sort of discipline (probably a stern warning) for the finger incident on 15 yesterday.  It dawns on me his upbringing would have been during Tiger's prime years -- he's 29 now, and would have been in elementary school in the early 21st century.  Someone should tell him that the swearing wasn't what made Tiger great at golf.   Or John Daly (or Don January?) or whoever else we associate with both being good at golf and producing choice words on television.
