How to Correct Improper Elbow Motion in an Over the Top Golf Swing

Video Transcript

On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Ray Boone and I run the Ray Boone Golf Academy at the beautiful Miami Beach Academy Golf Club. Today I'd like to present to you the topic of the over the top golf swing. Okay here we are again, we got still to fix this over the top golf swing. We're swinging up to the top, we're initiating with the down swing. One of the areas I want to show you here is what the right elbow is doing. A lot of people's right elbows are flying outward, they get over behind them or sometimes they just lift the arms up and they're way up above their heads. We would like to turn to the top, get the right elbow somewhere at a 90 degree angle and maybe you can come on this side and check it out here. We'd like to get it on a 90 degree angle here, you look at it we don't want it back over here behind our body. This is very common, a lot of people really separate and get behind them. A lot of times that's flexibility, sometimes they're so tight that they can't get the arms in the proper position, but the right elbow we would like 90 degrees and drop it into your right hip as you come down.
