  3. Thanks! A video on what clubs to use around the green would help. Maybe
    explain the ratio theory.?

  4. didn’t practice this at all, took it straight to course and made mental
    effort to keep elbow pointed towards ground. Shots were straighter and
    longer. hit some really long drives in middle of fairway. Thanks Bub :)?

  6. Really great tip on the right elbow. This will help a lot of people –
    especially those that go over the top. As with everything in golf, it’s
    not for everyone. Most amateurs will benefit a lot from this. Thank you!?

  7. ***adding to the comment below***my personal preference is to work the
    right elbow towards the ball to start the downswing and not straight down
    (for the flatter swingers. ie: Mr. Hogan). Allows the right elbow to get in
    front of right hip & prevents the “Jim Hardy Stuck” position. ?

  8. mike, what can i do with students that can^t get the right elbow to 90
    degrees because they have phisical limitations, any excersises to share for
    that??

  9. Mike, looks a nice place where you live , and nice Biceps , will try this
    as I know I come over the top all the time . .?

  10. How come nothing is said about leading with the hips? I think this would
    lead most amateur golfers to use their arms and shoulders to start the
    downswing.?

  18. No disrespect ment but horrible advice for those who swing on a flatter
    plane(one planers) and square the club-face trough impact with body pivot.
    Causes the “stuck” position resulting in a flippy release with wrists
    causing shanks, snap hooks and slices. IMHO exactly why the internet is a
    dangerous place for desperate weekend hackers. “One planers” check out Zach
    Allen’s channel for useful info on right elbow. ?

  19. Excellent explanation of the function of the right elbow. Keep up the good
    work!?

  21. Nicely done Mike, it’s never easy making a video tip for the masses.
    Especially for something as difficult as this. I have a right arm only
    drill I give my students to help the right elbow?

  23. Check out the rabbit behind Mike – too funny. But a great video – and great
    tips.?

  24. This is the best swing tip I have ever seen on the internet. I would take
    lessons off this guy just from this one piece of advice alone. Fantastic.?

  25. This was the key I needed for my swing. I used this tip at the range a few
    days ago and amazingly, I started striking the ball pure. Hitting at the
    range vs translating this to an actual course is always tricky. I recently
    played a round of golf, focusing on keeping the right elbow close to the
    body – shot the best round of golf ever! I found that I am hitting the ball
    further and more accurate…..?
