Is It Right To Tuck The Right Elbow In During The Golf Swing (Video) - by Peter Finch

So let’s have a look to see if it is correct to actually tuck the right elbow in throughout the golf swing. Now as I mentioned in the first video, there are players who are the exceptions to this rule, Jack Nicholas for example with a big flying right elbow at the top of his golf track. The Jack Nicholas rules exceptional in many respects not just that part of the swing. So what you have to do is you need to have a look at John Nicholas a fantastic player but then look along most of the other professional golfers out there and say well actually most people have their right elbow quite close into their side during the backswing. Now it’s not a – it’s not just a look you carry, is happened, there has to be a reason why. And what will happen during the swing is that the right elbow will stay connected pretty much so that, pretty much to your side all through out the first half of your down swinging to impact and then it will extend away.

Now it’s a lot easier, it’s a hell of a lot easier as you get to the top of your bats to actually get that right elbow into your side as you move down through the point of impact if it’s actually quite close to your side as you begin that technique, as you begin the down swing. So if you take it up to the top of the swinging, your right elbow is a long way away from your side. It’s a lot more the complicated movement to get it back down toward your side. If you have a back swing where that right elbow is nice and connected to the body, so you take it up to the top and its nicely gathered in, it’s a lot easy than just to maintain that position and use the body to actually turn through impact. So that right elbow position is something which is basically mean a little bit but generally most golfers will be improved if they can keep that right elbow tucked in for a little bit longer during the backswing and it enables them to get it closer to the body on the down swing and deliver that club more effectively into impact. 2016-06-10
