You videos are awesome, thanks! You hear so much about the left arm being straight and in line with the club at impact. Would this technique breakdown the left arm and cause the elbow to be bent at impact? Thanks!

@UsernameInvalid2011 If you're not actively turning, you could certainly get a left arm breakdown through the hit, however, when done properly it only adds distance and the left arm stays straight.

Jeff, do any of the pro players use this move?  Which of your 3 release moves do you recommend with this swing for max distance?

Thanks for sharing such great info.... not many would!!!!

[jritter5]

@laremac Release has a lot to do with desired ball flight patter. In terms of pros. Watch TV and see which players have the shaft exit low and left into the follow through. Also, the sooner you see the left elbow re-appear behind the body as well is a good indication of this type of action.

Thank you Jeff! You have brought my scores down to low 80s after watching all over your videos over and over a few times with practice. I was shooting inconsistant 95-100. Now I'm winning all the skins against my freinds. Seriously, thanks for posting your videos. Great instruction and very easy to apply!

@2xchrome That's awesome! Thanks for sharing in your success!!!

i could be wrong, but wouldn't that move with the left arm cause a cut/slice for most golfers?

Jeff, this is one of the best tips I've gotten in playing golf. I now have more club head speed with less effort and the swing feels good. Just one question, is the right arm passive on the downswing? Prior to this change, I was powering through with the right arm on the downswing. Thanks.

@jritter5 Is it possible for you to do a quick video of this action with the camera on the side of you (like your golf bag is in the above video)? I'm having a hard time of picturing the action in my mind’s eye and I cannot seem to replicate it on the range. THANKS!!

Never actually heard about this a good tip though I'm actually suprised you did not talk about "lag" or "delayed hitting" and witdh.

Jeff Can you use this same concept for the driver as well???? P.s. you videos are very useful...thanks.

[tfftfftff86]

Jeff, I've tried to put your advice here together with your "Transition" clip, by telling myself "Biff - Squish - Biff" as I work my elbows and left leg.

As a previously chronic slicer, I can tell you it works just great for me.

The difference between you and the pros who I've failed with is that you got me to focus on key parts of my own body, while they would mostly tell me where an external object - the club - should be during the swing.

Thanks so much

I`ve been studying Ben Hogan and Sam Snead`s swings and have been confused as to why both have this move, now thanks to your explanation I know WHY. Never seen or heard of this type of teaching before. Thanks from Rod -- Sydney Australia

This is probably the best lesson I have ever seen. I have never seen an instructor talk about retraction of the elbows before. I went out to try this for "distance" and it actually cured two other problems automatically. This lesson will will keep the player "CONNECTED" automatically...which is probably the most difficult concept to teach/understand/learn/repeat. It also prevents the dreaded "over the top" as well.

Thanks, Jeff.
