The Magic Left Elbow Move for Pure Ball Striking #shorts #golf #golfer #golftips #ericcogorno

Eric Cogorno demonstrates the 'elbow down, thumb up' lead arm rotation technique that separates professional ball strikers from high-handicappers. By mastering this specific follow-through position, golfers can better close the clubface and ensure the low point of their swing stays forward for cleaner contact.

• In a proper follow-through, the lead elbow should point slightly down and to the left toward the ground.
• The lead thumb should point up and to the left at the parallel-to-ground checkpoint.
• Poor ball strikers often exhibit 'elbow up, thumb right' mechanics, leading to inconsistent contact and open faces.
• A slightly bent lead arm during rotation is preferable to a rigid, locked arm.
• Practice using lead-arm-only swings to build the muscle memory for proper rotation and release.
