Hey O.B. I love Italy too which is why I moved here
However, TGM instructors simply don't exist
So forums like this one are the best I can do.
Yeah I understand about the right elbow now. When I was on vacation recently I did the drill with a piece of string replacing the left arm and using extensor action on it. Then I went to play 9 holes and played great - not sure how much EA was the cause but it seemed to be. Sometimes though I think I over-do it.
Hard to say what is happening without seeing video. But it sounds like you are "running out of right arm" maybe. EA is a constant effort on the part of the right elbow to straighten the right arm, if you actually do get it straight , too early, then its trouble. The string drill quickly displays how the shoulders have to work to have lots of bent right arm left for impact. In short, the right shoulder needs to take the bent right arm down to the ball before the right arm extends. Homer wanted us to feel like we hit the ball with our right shoulder. He wanted us to extend our right arms actively (hitting) or passively (swinging) while maintaining the impact fix degree of right hand bend........the right sides version of the flat left wrist. But I digress.
The string is an amazing drill that is often ignored. Being Canadian I use a hockey skate lace. Its still always slipping off my shoulder though, Im thinking of making a harness arrangement , golf bra if you will.
