I'm a good flipper of the club which means my right elbow flies out on the down swing. I've watched the "flipper" video and the drills are very nice. But as I try to implement the drills I notice that my right elbow always detaches from my right side on the down swing. I try very hard to tuck in the right elbow but it always flies out which then makes me flip the club face closed.

Are there any drills that can help to tuck that right elbow to my side?

Thanks for any help fellas.

Please delete this useless post. I just had the worst range session in years. I tried all the drills on the flipper video and nothing worked. I've resigned myself to being a flipper just because I can hit it straighter. I will be a flipper for life. There is no instructor that can help my swing.....I
m pretty much unteachable. I've wasted too much money on golf lessons and books just to get worse. I really think the golf swing is for skinny flexible people. I'm too fat with wide shoulders and un-flexible.

Thanks for all the tips though!

No way in hell Juansky.

Craig Stadler and his son Kevin look more like hot dog eating champions then PGA Tour players so there is hope.

And if anyone can help you (fast) Brian can. (he fixes flippers literally everyday I'm sure)

But right now- he is rebuilding his New Orleans flood house by hand....giving lessons.........and traveling around the country.

I'm sure he'll post when he has time.

Thanks for the laughs about the Stadlers. I really had high hopes today before I arrived at the range because I practiced so hard all week to clear my hips and keep my head behind the ball and trying to stop my natural slide to the target. My ball flight was unpredictable, I hooked, sliced and chunked shots. But when I did my regular flip swing, well it went straight but short and my back did'nt hurt. Doing the pivot rotation that Brian talks about hurts my back and neck and I feel like I'm swinging in a frozen ice cube.....it feels weak. Too bad he doesnt teach in Northern California.

I'll keep trying to do the drills but this time I wont expect anything good to happen.

I don't slice though.....I get pulls, hooks and draws on my bad shots. Everything looks good until I have to hit the ball. I usually slide towards the target pop my head up to make room for my arms and then I flip it with good timing. It works most of the time but it just looks like crap. I can hit it straight but short because I add loft at impact. I take a nice big divot also, I'm a steep striker and I don't sweep any of my clubs. That's why I'm a 13 index, because I'm usually short or I pull my approach shots. But I can chip real good with my lob wedge. Sometimes I scramble for par off the greens better then if I had to 2 putt for par. My driver on bad shots are usually pulls or hooks especially If I want to kill one.

NSA 2.0 isn't just for the slicer. Brian has said that it might as well be called "Never Bend Your Left Wrist Again 2.0".

It's true...

Juansky.....

I don't want to leave you hanging cause I am the one (one of the ones?) who got you onto this in the first place.

There any way you can post video of your swing?

Hey, Juansky Ishare your question
Could I follow up with a question on getting the right elbow close to the body on the down swing?

It my just be a thing to check for some people, but for me it really is a hard project to work on. Any sugestions on getting it back down to your right side? You are correct, getting it tucked and having room for it swing in front of your then allows the right elbow to be bent, which allows the right wrist to stay bent, which allows you to sustain the lag.

So I need that first domnino to fall to get the rest of the chain reaction. Thanks
