I am/was the player who gets the club right on the shoulder or very close to my body at the top of the swing and on the down swing. I tried to keep my lead arm straight but I found it was just collapsing at the top and bending. I have since tried getting my wrists to set the club earlier so I can stop the club head momentum at the top and just focus on keeping the arm straighter with a more compact swing. It seems already far more consistent but that's only hitting on a simulator. This video is great and really speaks to a lot of things happening in my swing! I will be doing these exercises daily! Thanks!
Doesn't have to be straight, many players can't get it fully straight just based on their body. It's more about watching the pattern and seeing how much it is changing throughout the swing, which we can track now. 👍🏽
Me neither. Believe it or not I cut the ends off a 2litre pop (soda for you Americans) bottle. I slipped it over my sweater sleeve to cover my elbow. Still bent the thing!
This is good information for me as I constantly struggle with my takeaway.
Glad you found this helpful!

Glad this video helped! Let us know how it goes with the practice.
Really good video- best one in a while!

I might check out the app. Maybe do a video on how to use it and it's features.
We will be dropping a video on various tools here soon!
Go Connie Go! So many of my students at GOLFTEC have the lead elbow flew problem and these are great tips.

Pushing outwards is a great description of how to do the backswing right.
💯
No way I can keep it straight and have been trying since I started playing golf 50 years ago.
It just isn;t possible for me.
