Move the right elbow inside the shirt seam

At the start of the downswing, the instructor cues the right elbow inside the shirt seam while the belt buckle begins moving through and the upper body stays back. He says this places the golfer more on top of the ball so rotation can fire through it.

Try it

  1. Get the right elbow inside the seam on the shirt.
  2. Start the belt buckle working through while the upper body stays back.
  3. Send the rotation and fire through it.

Why this context matters

The shirt seam is a body-relative feel checkpoint used during an in-person demonstration.
