Re: Right Elbow Bend at Impact

I understand what you are saying cmays...

Put your arms out in front of you, put your palms together, thumbs pointing to the sky. Now turn your forearms so that your thumbs are pointing at 3 o'clock. Right elbow bends. Point the thumbs to 9 o'clock, left elbow bends. So I do agree that a slightly stronger grip will help with having a slight elbow bend.

But, I am sure you can get into the same position with a neutral grip. I think with a weak grip it would be harder to do.

I hit about 200 balls today. If I get into that picture perfect Greg's RHD impact position...BOOM. Just solid shots. However, I have to make sure I maintain my angles. I am comming up, because like Greg warned, I am forcing it a bit.

Other thing, my left arm is separating from my chest. It's not staying connected, like its floating out towards the ball. If I keep it against, I do hit a very solid shot and it even feels like I am getting more club head speed (more of a whip sound through impact).
