all right guys in today’s video I’m going to show you a little trick with your Trail arm during the down swing that I showed a recent student of mine that really helped him out with his contact it’s a little micro move but has a massive effect on your ball striking your solid contact consistency of contact and ability to square the club face let’s Dive Right In all right guys so if you’ve seen our videos before right you know during the down swing one of the huge keys to be able to strike the ball consistently solid is the ability to get your Trail arm and Trail elbow working forward towards the target but there’s a little caveat and a move that goes along with that that you need to have in your swing if you want to be able to do that and consistently Square the club face along with it I recently did this in a lesson with a student of mine that really transformed his solid contact this little micro move that he really loved got rid of those weak right shots hopefully this will do that for you as well here’s the move we’ll kind of do it simple then we’ll add some layers and drills to it during the down swing and we’re going to show some people on the screen so you could see this from about the time we get to let’s say hip high with the hands or close to shaft parallel to the ground you’re going to notice that the inside part of your elbow we’ll call it the elbow pit points away from you directly away from me towards the ball towards the camera and so does my forearm right my forearm and my palm so the elbow Pit and the Palm both Point dead away now as you watch these great ball Strikers this is the move that I showed to my student you want to be able to get your elbow working forward here’s the key while always keeping the pit of your elbow pointed away from you as you do it you’re working the elbow forward and having the pit work away and I’ll explain why that’s so important in a moment but now if I have my elbow working forward and the pit of it works away like we’ll show notice my right palm where is that pointing the whole time time that’s pointing away as well now if I just do that and I keep doing that where does the club face point that points way to the right right you can see the toe is way behind the heel the club face is Way open so what the best ball Strikers do and what the trick is is while your elbow pit points away from you you have to have independent forearm rotation which means the ability to get your palm to face the Target by impact while still having the pit of your elbow point away from you and that’s how you have the squaring of the club face and you’ll see it on the screen from Tommy Fleetwood you’ll see this from some other players that were going to put in their Xander chofay Adam Scott how the pit of their elbow stays pointed away from them the whole time but their forearms will rotate the club face back to square okay so having the elbow work forward with the pit of the elbow away enables us to be able to get good shaft lean if I did it the bad way where the elbow pit would Point let’s say towards the target notice where my elbow goes does it go back or forward as the pit of the elbow points from let’s say from away from us to the Target as it rotates the elbow goes which way it goes back now when my elbow goes back what happens to my right wrist it early releases when I early release what happens to the shaft it’s leaning too far back there’s my poor contact inconsistent contact no shaft Lan if I want to be able to get my shaft leaning forward I need to be able to get my elbow forward and I want to be able to keep that pit of the elbow away from me which from this side is a little external rotation okay external is kind of when you’re feeling the elbow in front of the wrist internal is when you’re feeling the wrist in front of the elbow this internal is bad that would be like elbow back early release this external move is good and you feel the external by feeling the elbow pit stay away as the right elbow’s squeezing in towards the left but again how the heck do I hit a ball from there I need to be able to square the club face up and that’s where this little micro move of this right forearm adds in okay this little forearm so I want you to hold your Trail arm in front of you you can just hold it up like this thumb up towards the sky now get it to where your palm and your elbow pit Point straight up towards the sky and bring that down in front of you this is the relationship I’m trying to keep you can even hold your elbow like this so the pit of the elbow points away bend my TR back a little bit and feel like how do I keep my elbow where it is and get my palm towards the target see that little micro move little palm towards the target this is the movement that I’m trying to do and I’ll show you some drills here in a moment Palm towards the target elbow pit doesn’t go with it watch when I do the bad version the elbow pit points towards it right my elbow points away my arm early extended and my right wrist through too early there’s my no shaff bad look I need to be able to feel Palm up elbow pit away bring it down in front learn how to get the arm forward with the elbow pit staying away but add a little bit of that right forarm rotation okay so as I’m starting to hit with this before I show you some drills when I come down the sensation is I’m squeezing my right elbow towards my left the elbow points away from me it’ll also be under or inside my left arm from down the line but as I’m continuing to feel that as my body moves I need to be able to square the club face up so I’m feeling that right forearm pronation okay let’s go ahead and hit one with that so the elbow pit points away but I’m getting the right forearm to point at the Target by impact and there’s a solid shot probably about a five yard draw now in order to get that shaft Lane which we need right we need shaft Ling at impact if we look at a golfer at setup let’s pull up like Adam Scott at setup and then show him at impact you’ll notice the impact’s dramatically different it’s more forward and the reason for that is so that we can get the shaft leaning forward to get the ball in the middle of the club okay we got to hit it like four or five grooves up if my shaft’s leaning back I’m always going to hit on the bottom of the club no distance right poor contact so I get the shaing to hit the ball in the middle of the club and I also want to lower the Loft the ball far straight Etc but in order to get shaftan where’s the club face need to be needs to be square or squaring anytime you come down if you’re someone who’s got a big flip motion if your Club face is too open toe behind the heel you’re always going to early release it so instead of early releasing it to square it I want you to add a little arm rotation okay you can work on closing it sooner as well but no matter what golfer you are even the most passive golfer you’ll see Tommy Fleetwood with a stronger grip what does his right arm look like still doing the same thing the elbow pit points away and the Palm rotates towards the target Xander schaa a little bit of a weaker grip same motion okay the weaker the grip you have you probably need to do this a little more stronger grip probably a little less but even the most passive golfers with the most Square Club face will still have some of this motion so I was working with my student doing this I said okay let’s just get your Trail arm and feel this this motion here through impact the elbow pit always points away okay the right bicep feels like it’s pressing against my pecker side and notice my trail hand as I’m working through impact I’m almost feeling like when I’m coming through my fingers are behind my wrist and my hand points slightly down and to the left down and to the I’m not going whole arm with it down and the left elbow away wrist stays in front of the fingers down into the left that’s the motion now also notice as I’m doing this I’m have a little body motion okay in the beginning when I was sh my student we’re just kind of going like this with the arm and that’s okay but of course as I start actually swinging I’ll feel a little you know left hip rotation little body opening it and my right hand pointing down and left is really trying to mimic what I’m trying to do with the club I want the club on the way through to point a little bit down and left you can kind of think of your right palm as it squares as like the face of the club okay so elbow pit points away right Palms pointing down and rotating and this is really like the timing of this from about hands hip high to impact the elbow pit points away the forearms rotate to square it the elbow pit points away the forearms rotate to square square would just be getting the club face let’s say fully perpendicular to the Target point at the Target while the handle is up over the left leg elbow pit away forarm rotation at the bottom elbow pit away forarm rotation at the bottom and there’s another solid one now I hit that ball pretty straight when you’re doing this you want to have the ball flight give you some feedback as a right-handed golfer if the ball’s going too far to the right we would assume you didn’t do that enough the club face was pointed right and you need to do more of it if you hit it to the left and you overdid it right the ball goes left you closed the club face a little too much you probably overdid it you can do a little bit less if you’re someone who’s a slicer who tends to slice it off to the right you would want to feel this the most to square the club face the most and probably sooner if you’re someone who hooks it and you over close the club face obviously you can feel it a little bit less now my student said hey Eric I like this I really like this elbow motion but I would prefer to feel my lead hand doing the squaring of the club faces that okay absolutely that’s okay okay so you can feel either hand here so we kind of ended up with him and I’ll show you the drill in a moment um is he’s feeling the elbow pit away and he’s actually feeling like okay at hip high like you’ll see the pros the elbow Pit and the right palm or the back of the left hand both point away and then at impact the elbow pit still points away but now the back of the hand the glove logo points at the Target so you can go elbow pit away glove logo at the Target elbow pit away glove logo at the Target not the whole arm just this forearm part just from here to here right just from here to here here to here here to here and if you want to feel the glove logo doing that motion perfectly okay so elbow pit stays away the whole time all the way through and the glove logo is going to square it now like you’ll see the pros once you get pass impact of course the arm will extend the elbow pit Will Point towards the Target but I can’t have that happening back here a lot of people I see using the whole arm and shoulder to square it then they get a flip and an early release you have to to get the handle forward you got to get the elbow forward with the pit staying away so elbow pit away but now we’re going to use the glove logo to square the face again from about hip high into impact and if you need to feel a little earlier that’s totally okay elbow pit away for the contact left hand rotation for the club face and there’s another solid one that’s probably about a seven yard draw I overcooked that a little bit but hit it very solid it’s probably 20 ft left of my target if you’re someone again who misses weak right you want to overdo that the more I overdo this glove logo piece or this right palm piece that closes the club face and takes Loft off of the club both of those very good now let me just quick show you at the end the two drills I showed him that may help you as well all right guys so quick out on two drills I showed my student for him to take home that may help you one’s an easy one with a plate when you get into this position with the elbow pit away and the Palm facing away from you if you take a plate and just put that in your Trail Palm so the back of the plate faces away from you the goal here is to be able to keep the elbow pit away and rotate and feel the plate getting to square so my student found that that that helped give him a little visual now I’m taking the body motion out okay in the beginning just to feel it elbow pit away rotate the right palm the back of the left hand or the back of the plate towards the Target now of course when I actually go I’ll add my body motions in like this elbow pit away back of the plate towards the Target now my student was also a tennis player and I had a plate okay with me and we had a little um like we had a ping pong paddle right but let’s use this one instead so he was playing tennis I didn’t have a tennis one I had a little ping pong paddle with me so this will serve the same Purpose with pickle ball so when he came through he said hey am I trying to feel like I’m getting like an overhand forehand and I said kind of but the key difference here and this is like the third point of this is I can’t have my shoulder go way high when I’m playing tennis pingpong pickle ball I’m hitting a ball level to the ground I can have my shoulder go high have the whole arm rotate over like a Top Hand kind of overhand spinner like this but with golf the ball’s on the ground so I still want to feel like I’m doing this sort of forehand uh this Top Spin shot but my shoulder has to stay down my shoulder has to stay down so it’s elbow pit away rotate this close with just the lower half of the arm you can feel right arm or left arm but the shoulder stays down we’ll show you some of the pros they keep their inclination to the ground there’s no high shoulder elbow pit towards the target release shoulder down elbow pit away and use your forearm rotation so you can use a little you know ping-pong paddle pickle ball or the plate with that that gives you a good visual and then I just had him feel the same thing and put the trail hand behind his elbow feel the elbow forward with the pit away and squaring the club face we actually got to the point where when he was feeling it I was even saying hey feel like you get the toe of the club even ahead of the heel now he had a pretty big right Miss we were exaggerating but don’t be afraid to close that club face what if I do that Eric and I hit it left he said I said I’ll just do it a little less do it a little less okay right there here isn’t this going to add a lot of timing to my swing no I said right like you already don’t time it well if it’s going to the right you need to add more closure okay one more you got the plate option got the paddle option I’m always feeling the elbow pit away rotating the forearms to the Target I’m going to feel my right palm and the shoulder stays down elbow pit away forearm rotation shoulder down very very solid and that’s the whole point right like if you’re not hitting the ball solid feel the elbow working more forward and staying away for longer that gets the shaff Ling of course the body’s got to go with it if you need more solid contact feel the elbow pit more away longer as the body opens squeezing the right elbow in towards the left elbow pit away there again very solid if you struggle with the contact you need to feel that part more if you struggle with the right shots you need to feel the rotation more of just the lower arm the right forearm or the glove logo shoulder always stays down shoulder down pit of the elbow away forearm rotation all very solid so hopefully that’ll help you the simple trick here okay is you got to be able to square your arms with the elbow pit away from you as the elbows Mo before that’s the simple the more complicated or the layers I wanted to add on just so you understand that hopefully help the plate drill the little ping pong paddle and the ability to keep your Trail shoulder down as you do it are the keys you guys have any questions on this leave a comment down below if you want us to look at your swing like I did my student to be able to identify hey these are the key issues these are the feels like he was trying to do something completely different than he needed to he was holding him back for like years and years and years and we able to make huge gains on that within like 15 20 minutes so you can get results pretty quickly go to kornog golf.com send in your swings let’s work together there would love to see you there
