Squeeze your elbows together at address

At address the speaker squeezes the elbows close together: standing with the arms extended, he pushes the elbows in toward each other so they point more at the hips, and he tucks the trail (right) arm in. He says getting the elbows together this way connects the arms, hands, and club to the body.

Try it

  1. Stand with your arms extended and push those elbows in towards each other
  2. Have your elbows pointing more at your hips
  3. Get that right arm tucked in, that trail arm really glued in there

Why this context matters

The speaker credits the idea to Ben Hogan's Five Lessons earlier in the video.
