Thanks hero, and as I am sure you know, just because some pros get away with it does not mean we should use it. My objective is to have the least amount of compensations necessary, which will lead to better consistency. Certain moves that are "not ideal" mean that the player better know how to do the fixing move or they wont play good golf. With that elbow flying some people may try to drop in the slot, but that will make them get stuck. So they would need to learn how to reroute back to the slot.
