Excellent video! Made me realize I was not releasing the club face. Saw immediate improvement of contact and direction after keeping my arms better connected to my torso and using a correct neutral grip. Thank you

Thanks Stephen! Keep up the good work and thanks for watching.

Very interesting. My home Pro has spent time trying to get me off my trail side and stop the club getting stuck behind me. That's one rabbit hole because it wasn't working. Your video shows me why these issues arise (left elbow going down the line) and how to get out of it. Thanks , I'll be back.

Getting stuck is an awful feeling in your swing. Sounds like a ground force and sequencing issue. The lead arm position will help. I would recommend watching my glute sequencing and width videos.

Question for ya - so at around 8:20....the crease of your elbow should be by your side, your actual elbow pointing behind you correct?

[@kingprogolfinstruction]

Yes, your actual elbow should aim back. This will allow your elbow to be the pivot point and not your shoulder. This takes time to get comfortable with. Try not to initially force the change. Learn to hit pitch shots getting into the correct position first. Then work bigger movements. Thanks for the comment.

@@kingprogolfinstruction Thanks for the confirmation, I noticed that when I made a conscious effort to ensure that my left (lead) elbow was pointed behind me & the crease facing forward my swing became effortless and I was hitting non-stop draws! Thanks for the content....keep it up!
