Ben Hogan's Magic Elbow | The Secret to Amazing Ball Striking 

A clear explanation of connected trail arm/elbow in the back/down swing rotation was just what I needed. Thanks!

I’m here trying to cure a cast/flip. I kind of discovered this on the range tonight with my driver after trying to turn the ball left for about 45 minutes through trial and error, then I was hitting it beautifully when I started getting my right elbow connected. Edit: this video is vastly underrated.

This is in regards to pitching. Have you watched any of Dan Greives? His 3 releases are very interesting #1=chip, #2 =pitch,#3= basically a flop. While you teach more of keeping left arm straight on follow through ,he says let it fold up for more height and spin. His method looks as smooth as yours but looks like it would take a lot more practice to dial it in. Especially if you have a tendency to flip your right hand at it. Anyway would like to see you do a video on chipping and pitching off of bare lies. Here in Tennessee during the winter we get these on many courses. It is almost like chipping off a compact wet clay. I'm almost resigned to just taking out a hybrid because I get so yippy. Most pros don't even have to deal with such,but it is what it is.

Thank you for the lesson

Enjoyed the explanation, easy to understand. Is it much different for the driver?

Everyone talks about the magic right elbow. However, the true secret is in both elbows and you may want to take a look at the impact position and where it is pointed at impact. Good Luck!

Long legs and long arms and my right elbow actually rubs against my right hip belt causing a raw mark on the elbow tip with short sleeve shirt. I wear an elastic wrap over the elbow. (-:

Is that Ronnie S. From Winchester?

My 9 iron goes 160 with my right arm tucked you can find me at Dubs Old Guy crushing it

Great
