Hi BHL

Is that about the degree you advocate? If not, what degree would you recommend them to remain at during the swing?

Sorry for being long-winded. The answers to all of your questions is yes, and the angle I advocate is 25-30 degrees, as you suggested. One more point: Mike believes in "soft elbows," but I am the one who recommends the 25-30 degree angle remaining between the forearm and biceps of both arms during the swing.

Sincerely,
