Pistol - Yes

I think that Toms, Furyk and Woods bring their right elbow into their right hip area with the elbow leading the hands, and this enables the right forearm to fan into impact so that the right palm faces the target at impact.



Furyk has his right elbow slightly behind the right hip in a punch position (10-3-A) while Woods is more in a pitch position (10-3-B). According to HK, these positions are similar in that they allow a fanning of the right forearm into impact, with the only difference being that 10-3-B allows the right elbow to lead the hands further into the release, which allows for a later trigger delay and a snap release.

None of these golfers has the right elbow in a push position - an "up-and-out" elbow position that keeps the hands always between the right elbow and the ball.
