How the Elbow Pit Can Fix Your Flying Right Elbow

Do you struggle, like most golfers, with a flying trail elbow at the top of the backswing?

From this compromised position, you are forced to make aggressive compensations with the arms to get the elbow back in front of the body at impact, or make other costly adjustments that rob you of power and consistency.

Your golf swing does not need to be that complicated.

Ready to transform your swing? Try a free AI-powered Live Lesson with GOATY — real-time pose tracking, voice coaching, and gate-by-gate feedback on every rep.

Learning how to set up correctly with the trail arm elbow in the proper position at address — and understanding how it must rotate going back — will teach you how to avoid a takeaway that is too flat, too inside and around, and too deep at the top of the swing.

You might be surprised to learn that the reason most golfers get their arms stuck deep behind them during the backswing is actually rooted in their posture at address.
