Hey guys! I'm a total TGM novice so forgive my ignorance, but I have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help me with.

-I'm a swinger, and have some backswing confusion. I start my backswing with a swivel (at least I try to) and then I COCK my right elbow up to complete my backswing.

Is this correct/o.k.?

Because I could do it another way, which would be to swivel, and then BRING THE WHOLE PACKAGE "UP" TO THE TOP- in other words, not "cock" my right arm at the elbow but rather move EVERYTHING- arms, hands, club, the whole shebang, as one unit, up and back until my left shoulder passes under my chin.

I hope I'm explaining this correctly- in one version, the cocking of my right elbow completes the backswing, in the other version, I move the entire package, without really cocking/bending the right elbow (at least not FEELING as if that's what I'm doing) underneath my chin.

It's two totally different feels.

Personally, I feel more comfortable with the "right-elbow-cocking-to-complete-my-backswing" version, but, to my novice TGM thinking, isn't concentrating on or feeling the right elbow cocking in the backswing a HITTER'S move? Is it o.k. for a swinger to have a backswing based on the right elbow cocking? Or am I mixing fundamentals? Please help!
