I feel like I have a Nicklaus "flying elbow" is this the correct motion for a hitter???

The Flying Wedge alignments (6-B-3-0-1) are identical for both Hitters and Swingers and are established at Impact Fix (8-2) . After Assembly -- usually no later than the end of Start Up (8-4), they must be maintained to the end of the Follow Through (8-11).

Ball Location will affect the amount of Right Wrist Bend at Fix. The further Forward the Ball is located in the Stance, the more Right Wrist Bend (4-A-2) and the further Back, the less. It is that Bend that determines the precise Right Forearm alignment with the Left Arm Flying Wedge. And it is this alignment, in conjunction with the selected Plane Angle, that determines how much the Right Elbow will appear to "Fly" at the Top (8-6).
