Quite a good image to have in mind when swinging ,Paul,much simpler than using a training device like the ” SMART BALL” which is a bit OF a nuisance to use when practicing.
OF course fully relaxed ARMS are a must ,And the ” brick” does the trick.
Wow Paul, I didn’t even practice this I just used it on the course this morning and shot a 43 on the back( I’m an 18HC )The thing that feels odd is I can tell how much I’ve been pen overswinging . This shortens my backswing significantly and of course greatly increases club head speed. One question is how do I keep my arms relaxed and hold the brick at the same time? Thanks, Ben
Keep in mind that if your arms where turned off the weight of the club would stretch your arms out fully allowing you to keep the distance between the elbows.

Paul WilsonRaymond,
I’ve seen it but haven’t tried it. The brick image is pretty simple and free.

Paul WilsonBen,
You work on the position then once master you turn your arms off. There are times when you will feel your arms.

Paul WilsonBrian,
Very good. This widens the arc. As I say there is only 1 widest arc. You get this you get more power and consistency.

Paul WilsonJeff,
Very good. It is vital you cure the chicken wing. Once you do you will hit it so much better.
