Hitting The Ball With The Right Elbow Makes The Golf Swing So Much Easier

In this video, Eric Cogorno demonstrates how mastering the right elbow's 'bent, soft, and under' position can transform ball striking. He introduces the Pro-Slot Trainer to help golfers maintain width and avoid over-folding during the backswing, while ensuring the trail arm stays underneath the lead arm for a consistent inside-out path.

• At setup, the trail arm should be bent roughly 15 degrees, soft, and tucked underneath the lead arm.
• The trail arm should reach a maximum bend of 90 degrees at the top of the swing; more than that leads to a narrow, steep swing.
• To create shaft lean and an inside path, the trail arm must stay underneath the lead arm during the downswing.
• The right arm should not fully straighten until approximately 45 degrees past the impact point.
• Using a split-hand grip can help golfers feel the necessary width and body pivot required for an elite backswing.
