right arm down

[brownman]

Good morning all,my question today is this,on the start of downswing with r/arm/elbow,should the elbowbe bent as long as possible with the feeling of forearm and club trailing until elbow gets to about hip height before straightening down and out,keeping in mind r/wrist still in bent position. Thanks in advance Terry

Yes, sounds like Pitch Basic Elbow position. In any elbow position, Pitch, Punch or Push- the right elbow should remain bent through impact, even through low point and be fully extended for the first time in follow through.

Boxers punch rather than a straight arm jab - through rather than at.

Thanks guys,adding to this ,I am getting a feeling that I,m hitting if u like,with the point where the wrist and forearm are bent,by using the dowels it is keeping the dowel in line with r/forearm,thru the downswing,hope u follow me. Terry

Hi all,went to practice fairway to-day,as it was cold and windy I decided just chip keeping in line with f/wedges set-up,low and behold I found that I was setting up automatically on every shot ,It went like this---clubface set to target with grip tilted toward target,r/foot square,l/foot set,then settled with right and hit . Best set-up ever encountered,I think it came from LB and J hull video,my point is ,I veiwed that video a couple of weeks back and I dont believe that I took much notice of his set-up routine ,but I must have done it sub-con,now its embedded in memory box,HOW COME. I was also chipping to sand scrape and could still get them to stop wich is no mean feat on s/scrapes using s/wedge and 9 iron...Thanks again LBG
