I am a 16 Handicap Right Handed. I am now trying to keep my right elbow in
side the triangle when I swing which is giving me straighter shots, as I
used to push my ball out to the right. But I am losing distance by adopting
this method, Is there something else I can do to increase my distance but
still keep my right elbow inside the triangle. thanks for any help.....Bob

Hmmm.....what exactly are the RSG qualifications to offer or discuss

IMHO
Since you are no longer pushing with the right(which is good) you have lost
one of your previous power sources.
Make sure you're not inadvertantly stiffening up the wrists in your
endeavors to keep the right arm on track and consider the use hips.
There's a book that might be on topic for you called "The Keys to an
Effortless Golf Swing" by Michael McTeigue(sp?)...just a thought
He talks about the triangle you discovered and the importance of the hip
drive when doing this.
Strangely, several years ago, I went through the same type of
progression(ie seeing my right arm was faulty then losing distance yet
hitting much
more solidly--low,piercing, and straight-- yet shortish). Someone
recommended the book to me and it solved several of *my* issues anyways.
Everyone is
different though....The book is pretty cheap and less than a hundred pages,
might be worth a shot.
Good luck

The single most important factor in a repeating golf swing is to
contact the ball with your weight TOTALLY on the heel of your front
foot--NO weight on your back foot! The heel slams down at the same
instant the club hits the ball. This is of OVERRIDING importance. If
you don't do that right, NOTHING else in the golf swing matters--all
the little grip, arms, etc. stuff is trivial in comparison. You will
be so erratic that you will be lucky to break 100.

Practice this drill untl you can do it. It is NOT easy.

Sorry, Larry, but you're simply not qualified to make that claim.
All the other claims you've made about what's "the single most important
factor" in the golf swing kind of make this one less credible.
