Hi, I am a new member to forum post, but a rotary swing tour follower for a few months.  Hopefully, this post comes through correctly.  After a visit with Al in person a month ago, I am having trouble from 9 o’clock to the top.  From 9 o’clock on, my left arm and wrist seem to rotate too much.  Pushing my right elbow down and giving me a very laid off/club face shut position at the top.  My only save is a last second pickup with my right arm to help me get it coming back down on plane.  My shoulders are fully turned and my arms haven’t really swung across my chest.  My right arm is still connected to the box.  Al and I worked on shoulder elevation after 45 degrees rotation, [...]

Hey Everyone,
I finally got off my lazy butt and started practicing what we preach here.  The past 2 weeks I have spent 15-30 minutes per day doing repetitions (usually around 120) in an effort to improve my backswing.  (I spent most of last year working on my takeaway and got it in reasonably good shape.)

Below are comparison pics, with the one on the left from last year, and the one on the right earlier today.  The main things I was working on were the following:  shoulder elevation, keeping my head from swaying off the ball (causing too much axis tilt), staying in the box, and keeping my right elbow close to my body.

While nothing is perfect, I am pretty happy at my progress on all accounts.  However, I noticed an obvious problem and [...]

Chuck/Al I seem to recall from somewhere that the right elbow should not be visiable at the top of the backswing when viewed from face on.  I am struggling with the move where the right arm flexes and rotates.  This rotation makes my right elbow drop a little below my left arm.  Am I not elevatiing the right shoulder enough, or do I need more tilt, or neither.

Hi Chuck/Al  I’ve been looking at the takeaway videos on RST Overview, RST move 1 & RS Fundamentals. My query is that in the RSF, there seems to me takeaways for beginners and one for the more experienced players. So with the right elbow in the move for the more experienced golfers, you let it slide across the ribcage, whereas in RST & RST Overview the right elbow remains passive until basically move 2. I have tried the move whereby the right elbow slides and it feels like a more compact at the top ?? Before I venture out to the range, could you please give me some clarity as to what exactly I should be doing with the right elbow in the takeaway?  Regards  Craig

tmac,
when I see this in students from the face on view, it is most often caused by either early right elbow flexion or pushing from the left.  I pointed this out in the Stricker blog, as his push from the left gets him into that position.
