New Feeling / Elbows

[swingeasttowest]

I have been so frustrated lately. It has always been so hard for me to start the swing with the right hip. I found out today why that was. I wasn't including my left elbow enough, thus not getting my left side behind the ball. I am a righty golfer. Now this thought goes in to the putting motion as well.If you don't include that left elbow, you will slice putts all day long......please respond if I am clear enough with my findings......

Can YOU describe how you see the right hip works/should work? What you were doing before and what you are doing now and why it is now better ? Thanks

Thanks Hue and sure.......What I was doing before was hitting up on the ball, right hand flipping. Taking the club too far inside. Now when I turn I make sure that (the feeling) both elbows move back and this helps me move my shoulders in tandem with my right hip.That sitting feeling on my hip.At my set up position if you were standing at my left side as I start my turn you would gently push my left elbow kind of up the plane.......
