I tend to over-draw / hook the ball, which due to over-rotation of the club face. I hadn’t been paying too much attention to my lead elbow, but realized while watching your video that my lead elbow may be a cause of the over-rotation. I’ll certainly try to set my lead elbow more towards the target and see if that can reduce / eliminate my over-rotation.
Yes do give this a try and let me know how you get on… it’s a great method to helps reduce early club fade rotation and help keep the club squarer at impact.
OK… so I set my left arm with my elbow pointing towards the target. Not only am I hitting the ball straighter, but also farther. I have typically had trouble getting distances much beyond 200 yards, and now I am much more capable of getting 230 yards … with two drives over 250 yards!
Nice one, so this elbow change in the lead arms seems to be helping both slicers and hookers of the golf ball! Brilliant! Thanks for letting me know & keep me posted!
Shoulder to elbow can/should work independently from the elbow down to the wrist. Twisting the shaft about itself with an internally rotated lead arm will still hit a smother hook!
Hi thanks for commenting with your thoughts on this concept. Have you given this a try? this is what some of the tour pros such as Bryson (the us open winner) agree with if you’re suffering from the hooks at the moment.
Hi thanks for commenting i suppose this depending on the way you transition from backswing to downswing and how your lead arm rotates externally more. how's your golf going?
@@harryshawgolf yeah, gotta stick to what works. Especially on the course. But I definitely can appreciate new methods. And when it comes to saving yourself from potential injury it’s worth going to the range and practice your method.
Thanks for the feedback. I try to balance providing helpful tips with keeping things clear. I’ll keep this in mind for future videos to make them easier to follow.
You touched on this a few videos ago. Thanks for expanding on explanation. Brilliant.
Hi Scott, you’re very welcome, pleased this has given you a more in depth explanation. Have you managed to give this a try yet?
@harryshawgolf Tried on indoor mats. Good feel. Looking for better feedback when the range opens.
That's good to read Scott, yes hopefully sooner than later we can stop using mats and hit those proper irons shots from the fairways, keep me posted!

That's amazing to hear thanks for letting me know how the golf's been since, amazing to gain 30 - 50 yards from this simple change! Well done!
Genius!
Thank you, have you managed to give this a try yet?
Great teaching lesson video tips
Thanks Lenard, pleased you've enjoyed the video, have you managed to play much recently?
Great video!!

Awesome video
Thank you, how’s your golf going?
This is great. Although this has actually fixed my slice !
Hi Dan, that's very interesting, thanks for the feedback, happy to read it's fixing both hooks and slices!
Yeah I think rather than open the club face more to avoid a hook it’s helped me close the club face

In this position, it makes it harder to turn the wrist down, but, not the elbow. The elbow folds right down into the body during the follow through.

LOL! I just watched another channel where a guy told me the exact opposite
Interesting, I’d suggest testing both to see which one works best for you!
I hit way straighter with the elbow facing me and not the target.
@jackal1776 That's interesting, if this works for you then great, stick to it!
