#41 What your elbows should be doing in the swing

The reality is, while it DOES take consistent work to improve, most players are making it WAY harder than it needs to be. HINT: It's NOT about spending hours at the range. Unfortunately, less than 1% of golfers will ever break through because they keep jumping from one method to another or spend too much time hitting balls at the range without purpose. The key is quality practice at home. Aim for 80% of your practice to be at home, making good quality repetitions without the distraction of ball flight. (YES! It will translate to the course) A simple area of focus to improve your swing is to understand how what your elbows should feel like they are doing through the swing. Keep your trail elbow pointed down in the backswing and your lead elbow down in the follow-through to avoid common issues like the flying elbow and chicken wing. You can also use a thin towel under your arms or an elastic band above your elbows to help keep good form and arm structure. Remember, practicing at home with focused, quality swings will lead to better results on the course. So get a net, practice at home, and watch your game improve. Thanks for tuning in!
