The trail elbow controls whether your lead wrist cups

Porzak points to the trail (right) elbow as the biggest overlooked cause of a cupped lead wrist, saying it '100% dictates this.' Golfers who cup the lead wrist usually have a trail elbow that is out of position. He demonstrates that the trail hand sits in a completely different spot — like 'holding a tray' — when the elbow is in versus flared out, which in turn changes the lead-wrist position.
