Should I Consider Trying to Flatten Out My Swing?


Recommended Posts

The distance between your elbows increase and you get the “flying elbow” effect and your right elbow gets kind of behind you. 

Some drills would be stick a towel under both armpits and make some swings keeping the towel from falling out. You could also use a volleyball or something slightly smaller between the elbows. If you wanted to invest in a training the tour striker ball is a good one. The key is to feel like your elbows pinch together, especially in the downswing this will shallow the shaft. 

Thanks!

These are pretty good videos to kind of explain show the concept I think you ultimately are trying to accomplish from the op of trying to flatten swing

@RickyBobby_PR, I think I finally understand the feeling for not having the "flying elbow ". While swinging my orange whip before our league tonight I felt it. I get it. Now I need to get to a range quickly. I feel like the timing is better for everything else but need to practice the move a lot. May be coincidence, but I also have no pressure in my lower back. Normally I do have some mild pain/tightness after a round. Thanks again for the tip.
