Gain 100 yards of distance, now that's something to Flap about!

Flappers in the Roaring Twenties I sure am grateful for the "younger generation" for the length of hem and release of corset allowing women to free up and fly. Freedom to play sports like golf...

Almost 100 years later we are still Flappers all elbows


CHICKEN WINGS WON'T GET THE GOLFER OFF THE GROUND NOR THE BALL
in fact they work just the opposite. Golfers do not know what causes the elbows to bend to the sky. No golfer wants to suffer from flying elbows for the pure sake of looking ungolf like, compounded with the dreaded shot that follows the roaring chicken winging swing. My heart goes out to those who quack so here is the key to pure ball flight, Extend the arms through impact don't let the elbows fold up until long after the ball is gone, Keep the club pointing through the shot at the target as though the club is chasing the ball down the fairway. The right palm moves down and through to target never up to the sky.

Drill, From address hold a golf ball not a club with the right index & thumb, throw the golf ball down into the impact zone, the elbow fires first then the wrist follows. The palm will go down then forward to target. This is the correct release sequence of the trailing & dominant arm to gain 100 yards of distance, now that's something to Flap about!
