I've been researching about the arm connection to the chest and arm pit area, specifically the left armpit, and I noticed Elk insuring that position around the :22 second mark. Is this something you consciously feel when you set up to the ball? I remember Hogan mentioned that it would take terrific amount of force to separate his arms and armpits at address.
That is pure. You almost never hear a sound that is better than the one he produces. Sadly, he seemed to never put in as much time with his putting as he did with his swing. If he had done that, who knows how good he could have been?
That's what I thought. His posture is so good throughout the entire motion. I love how he loads up into the backswing and then seems to stay behind it without flipping it or hanging on to it ! That's some wonderful had action action there !
Elkington's ability in tournaments is known, and the depth of his knowledge on the golf swing is more impressive than that of most other professionals, in my opinion. He is a student of the mechanics- I saw some of his practice sessions at Quail Lodge in Carmel, working with G.O.L.F. Don't mistake a random humorous comment for criticism, simply because it does not fall in line with the blind worship that is characteristic of all other comments on here. Thanks for posting the video, I enjoyed.

Yeah Elk likes to work that left arm across his chest at address a little.

Couldn't make out what Elk was drawing to explain the action. Could you make a video / drawing to help clarify?

Martain, does Elk play with standard lenght irons ?

@wantonjr1
Plays standard length irons, but his arms are about 3 inches over standard....so the irons may look short. :)
