Gain distance and start hitting the golf ball with maximum impact! The position of your right elbow on the downswing is the key to hitting great golf shots. If it is flying out and getting away from your body then it throws the club into a more upright position and takes the club off plane. The end result is lack of power and poorly hit golf shots. Clay Ballard explains and demonstrates this issue perfectly in this video and gives you a drill so you can feel when your elbow is in the correct position.
