I had to shut my game down for a few days for fear of getting tennis elbow or tendonities in my right elbow, but went out yesterday and played with the bat shot 3 under hitting the ball as straight as I ever have before.

Can one still use the bat elbow possition if I am trying to use a the hitters four barrel pattern? The bat seemes to create alot less shoulder turn than punch basic.

Also when hitting I use the impact fix adress so should the hands just begin moving imediatly up and in on the backswing?

Make sure you have a little space between the left upper arm and torso at set up with the bat. This will set the shoulder girdle in a position for maximum shoulder turn.

It is just the opposite of the towel in the arm pit drill. You want space so the towel would fall out. Having the upper left arm connected to the torso on the back swing reduces range of motion.

I like using TGM term start up. I always say to my students start the club head up right from the start up.

Great Round Bat Man!
