Practice aid

Holy Diver

Hi all,

New to forum.

Just joined first club 7 weeks ago having played 3 or 4 rounds per year for last 5 or so years. Progressing rather well and ridding myself of all those bad habits - not far off playing to 18 consistently. Totally addicted now :-)

Question for ye - is there anything on the market for putting on your left elbow during practice to help train the left arm to keep extended?

Thanks

Try putting a glove or towel under your left arm pit.
To keep the glove/towel in place through the backswing you will have to keep your arm extended.

Worth a try.

This is what I used for the same problem - http://www.118golf.co.uk/Practice-Golf-Swing-Improvement/118Golf/The-Elbow-Tac-tic_ct87bd195pd1424.htm?utm_source=CA&utm_medium=Comparator&utm_campaign=GB&source=CA&CAWELAID=468902190

It is a very simple device, not sure how they can sell it for 30 pounds, but, to be fair, it did work for me. It is just a little piece of plastic in a soft brace, and when you arm bends the device makes a clicking noise. It doesn't prevent you from bending your arm, it just makes you aware of when you actually bend it by making a clicking noise. Instant feedback, so you can tell when you have it right and when you have it wrong.

Very good. Thanks
