Right Elbow Still The Key

Setup is very important that both elbows point to hip bones, but definitely the right elbow no matter what. That first move of the elbow starting in front of the hip and moving first is huge. Hardest adjustment seems to be with the driver.

Right Elbow Over Hip in Downswing Is The Key

Set up must included elbows pointing to the hip bones, but downswing must be started with the right elbow in front of the hip, like moving toward the bellybutton first (just as shown by Hogan in his illustrations).  This creates lag and helps eliminate starting the downswing with the arms.  It causes the hips to start the downswing.

Great Link to this concept:

Hogan elbows setup

Huge breakthrough that had me striking the ball as good as I ever have, driver through wedge, even was working on chips.

Hogan illustrates his set up with the elbows pointing to the hip bones at setup. Keeping the right elbow in front of me (rather than on my side) during the entire swing is a key. First move down is more on moving the elbow towards my belly button like in hogans illustrations really helps with starting the downswing properly (without the hands).
