Did You Know Your Elbow Position Effects Your Grip? #golfswing #golftips

Most golfers overlook how their elbows are positioned at setup — but this small detail has a huge effect on your grip, clubface, and backswing.
For most players, the lead elbow should point slightly in, helping the left hand sit naturally on the club.
Meanwhile, the trail elbow points out, promoting better rotation in the takeaway.
This balance not only improves your grip but also sets the club in the right position early.

So for the majority of golfers, lead elbow pointing more in is going to be probably helpful because what we see a lot of is in average golfers, we see a lot of weak grips where the left hand’s too far around this way and this elbow will point more forward. The issue that happens when we do this is this club face then can get open in the back swing and then lead to all sorts of compensations. When we get the elbow more in, it actually helps position the lead hand on the golf club in a much stronger place, which really makes a huge difference to the club face. Now, when it comes to the right arm, having it slightly pointing more forward and out away from you is good. So, we can do this. Okay? And then we can just rotate the hand on, having this pointing more out just allows us to turn and then sort of load this trail elbow in a slightly better way. Sometimes if we get it too much this way, the right hand gets super weak and then that again leads to a lot of inconsistency in club face. So lead elbow this way pointing in, trail elbow pointing out. That should give you a great grip and help you load the back swing better.
