> Jack Mankin advocates using a card to keep the leading arm stuck to your chest while swinging. I recently took a look at Mike Epstein's site and he promotes raising the leading elbow up to shoulder level and keeping the right arm stuck to the body. What do you guys think about the leading elbow? Should it be elevated to promote an upswing or stuck to the chest to promote a lag?

Hi,

Try it both ways. I would consider beginning with Epstein's approach, and then progessing to Mankin's.

Both gurus have outstanding info, though.

Best,
