This Trail Elbow Move Creates Pure Iron Strikes
The Trail Elbow Move That Changes Your Ball Striking
The Move That Gives You Perfect Iron Compression (Instantly)
If you want to hit crisp, compressed iron shots, understanding how your trail elbow works throughout the golf swing is essential.
In this video on the Alistair Davies Golf channel, I’ll take you through the key trail elbow positions at every stage of the swing — from setup all the way through to the finish — so you can improve your ball striking, compression, and consistency.
Most amateur golfers struggle with poor contact because their trail elbow gets out of position early, leading to casting, scooping, and a loss of power. By learning how to control your trail elbow correctly, you can create a more efficient, repeatable golf swing and strike your irons with confidence.
In this lesson, you’ll learn:
• The correct trail elbow position at setup
• How your trail elbow should move in the takeaway
• The ideal position at the top of the backswing
• How the trail elbow works in the transition and downswing
• The correct movement through impact and into the finish
This simple understanding can help you:
✔ Improve iron compression
✔ Strike the ball more cleanly and consistently
✔ Eliminate common faults like casting and early release
✔ Build a more powerful and controlled golf swing
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced golfer, this is one of the most important fundamentals for improving your golf swing mechanics and ball striking.
