Hello,
How should the trail elbow look like before the downswing? I have tried to tuck my elbow in but I think it is still flying out a bit. I have tried to bring the inside of my elbow closer to my body. Is that the correct thing to do? I noticed that if I bring the elbow closer to my body it does flatten out the cupping of the hand, I think. What do you think?

Hi Lance. The trail elbow in an ideal way should fold in the backswing and point down towards the hip. Yes it will definitely help with flattening out the lead wrist also. Your mobility in the shoulder is a factor too so if you were limited in any way then a shorter back swing would help this. Hope that makes sense?
When I get to the first position in the backswing my club shaft is parallel to the target line that my feet stand on. The shaft is not over the target line but inside the target line, closer to my bo…
When I get to the first position in the backswing my club shaft is parallel to the target line that my feet stand on. The shaft is not over the target line but inside the target line, closer to my body. Is that correct? Also, I noticed that the shaft is parallel to the target line but my wrists let the clubhead droop down a little. So, the shaft is parallel to the target line but not quite parallel to the ground, the clubhead is slightly lowered toward the ground. Should I cock my wrist a bit to ensure that everything is square to the target line and ground? I don’t know if it could be my grip or am I maintaining the angle of the wrists at address, what do you think? If I do need everything square, would I eliminate any further wrist cock as I turn to the top? Thanks. – Lance
Great question Lance and the answer to all of those are yes. The club should be a little set with the wrists and over the feet line in the back swing. The wrists should still continue to cock in the b…

If my right wrist is flexed like it is holding a tray, do I need to maintain that flex through the downswing?
Hi Lance. You will certainly keep it in transition and it will start to release just before impact.
Thanks

As part of the membership do you review video submissions? – Lance
Hi Lance. Unfortunately we don’t. Is this something that you would like to really see in the membership.
Thanks
Andy
