No More Blocks or Pushes

[KrudlerAce]

I had great success today on the golf course fixing up a push or block that had just recently appeared in my game. There was a good tip on the forum recently that talked about the importance on keeping the right elbow as close to the body as possible during the golf swing (for right hander). In other words staying connected. This helps keep the golf swing on plane and a better chance of performing an inside to outside swing path at impact.

I have used this before to great effect and today hit a lot of great shots with a slight draw right off the middle. I have seen a lot of the professionals actually practice with a towel or head cover under their right arm pit (right handers) to help them stay connected.

Just wondering if any other forum members had some good tips for helping eliminate pushes and blocks in their golf game.

Re: No More Blocks or Pushes

Doing exactly what you suggest works great for me. I also get best results when I make a slight pause at the top so that the first move down is a slight weight shift left, my weight moves into the inside of my left heel, this pulls the right elbow and shoulder down and puts the club into the 'Slot' so that I can swing through from the inside with commitment.
