YOUR ELBOW LINE IN RELATION TO YOUR SHOULDER LINE
DETERMINES THE SWING PATH OF YOUR CLUBFACE
Many professional golf instructors as well as golfers mistakenly believe that it is the relationship between the shoulder line and the target or directional line that determines the swing path of the clubface.
However, the body does not have a clue as to the target or directional line. The target or directional line could be at right angles to the shoulder line and the body would not know the difference.
The body does know how the shoulders are aligned in relation to the elbow line- the imaginary line running across the inside creases of the elbow joints.
When the elbow line is pointing to the inside of the shoulder line an out-to-in swing path of the clubface is created. However, unless locked-in the relationship between the shoulder line and the elbow line can be changed by almost any subsequent body movement.
When the elbow line is pointing to the outside of the shoulder line an in-to-out swing path of the clubface is created. Again, unless locked-in almost any subsequent body movement can change the relationship between the shoulder line and the elbow line.
When the elbow line is aligned parallel with the shoulder line an online swing path of the clubface is created. This relationship likewise can be changed with any subsequent body movement unless it is locked-in.
The only golf method that locks-in an online swing path of the clubface are the Locked-In Techniques™ discussed in such books as my How To Hit A Golf Ball As Straight-As-An-Arrow and How To Lock-In A Perfect Golf Swing, all of which can be found at lockedingolf.com.

Gordon Jackson's Golf Tip of the Day-July 31, 2010
BONE ALIGNMENT IS THE KEY TO CREATING A STRAIGHT GOLF SHOT
In order to hit a straight golf shot on line with your target your elbow, wrist and shoulder bones must be aligned as follows when your clubface contacts your ball at impact:
1. Your elbow bones must be aligned squarely parallel with your shoulder bones.
2. Your wrist bones must be aligned to unhinge squarely to your ball at impact.
3. Your shoulders must be aligned squarely parallel with your intended target line.
4. The mid point of your shoulder bones (at the top of your clavicle bone) must be
aligned squarely perpendicularly to the back of your ball.
The only golf method that establishes these four bone alignments during the setup proceedings and keeps them locked-in during the remainder of the setup routine and golf swing are the Locked-In Techniques I discuss in my golf books such as How To Lock-In A Perfect Golf Swing and How To Hit A Golf Ball as Straight-As-An-Arrow all of which that can be found at lockedingolf.com.
