Tucking the RIGHT ELBOW to SHALLOW the GOLF SWING? DO THIS INSTEAD

- If you can't keep your right elbow down in the golf swing, it’s probably due to poor shoulder mobility. Today we show you 3 easier ways for shallowing the golf swing. The right arm in the golf swing is important but it’s not just about the trail elbow. The wrists play a major role in shallowing the golf club.
Aussie Golf Pros demonstrates 3 key swing principles, which are designed to place your golf club in a stronger, more powerful position. These 3 motions will help you to approach the golf ball more from the inside, enabling you to hit the draw shot. They will also help increase clubhead speed, accuracy and consistency.
Glen Haynes focuses on fundamentals, which are easier to perform for most golfers. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with keeping the trail elbow down in either the golf backswing or downswing. If your trail shoulder has the scope to rotate externally, sufficiently to ’tuck’ the elbow down, then this can assist you in swinging on a good plane and producing lag in the downswing.
However, if your shoulders lack mobility, we show you that it is still very possible achieve these benefits with these 3 golf swing fundamentals.

Skill Development vs Technical Changes
Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.
External Focus of Attention
Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.
Hi Glenn, interesting video. I have very little shoulder mobility due to a right shoulder that dislocates very easily due to an old injury, but I have found having the feeling of keeping my right elbow tucked in during the whole swing has improved my ball striking massively and now have gone from a slice to a draw, if anything overdrawing now being my miss. I can now also hit long irons fairly consistently which I really struggled with before.
Thank you for your comments @ozeafy. That’s great! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with tucking in the right elbow. Glad you can still do that, despite your old injury.
Keep at it!
Glen
enjoy your videos work in progress Thanks
Thanks for your support Keith! 🙏
Excellent video Glen about factors involved in shallowing the golf swing. I do pay a lot of attention to the folding and unfolding of my right elbow. However, I don't loose sight of the importance of a flat left wrist and a bent back right wrist in getting into a shallow position. Well Done Glen! Keep Up The Good Work!
Thanks John. Sounds like you’re on the ball! 🙏
@@AussieGolfPros Much thanks to you and your videos Glen! Couldn't have done it alone!
Glad we can help! 🙏
If anyone is interested in the science behind this limited shoulder mobility, check out Larry Rinker’s channel. His teachings are based on the principles of Dr. David Wright, who says there are 3 core regions of the body - upper core, mid core and low core. If you do this test and can’t get the arm past vertical, you are almost certainly an upper core player. The vast majority of us amateurs are upper core, while nearly all tour pros are mid core and a few low core. If you’re upper core, follow the tips in this video and forget trying to swing like a tour pro. You’ll save yourself a ton of frustration.
Thanks Larry, very interesting concept. Will check it out! 🙏🙏
Hey Glen. Can you do a video on fairway bunkers? I have no idea how to get my ball out of them. Cheers
Thanks Steve.
Our video on playing from fairway bunkers is already in the pipeline.
Watch this space!
excellent observations. I did the test and I can't get my elbow past vertical; I also concentrate on the flat left wrist and loaded right wrist.
Thank you for your comments Steve. Yes, thats fairly typical, so wrist angles are key!
