Right elbow dragging
First sunny day in Dec, I'm dragging the right elbow through impact with the pivot.

Does this by any chance mean u r a RA swinger? If not - explain what's going on.

No, this is a 3-barrel Swing with the left shoulder as the swing center, not the right elbow. I'm not throwing the club, just dragging the handle trying to keep the elbow ahead into the follow through.

The idea of dragging the right side through impact was a hot topic on the Hogan forum. Hogan told Tom Weiskopf that the right elbow should be bent 45 degs at impact, and stay bent past impact, and Moe Norman said that both he and Hogan were right side pullers, which set off some contentious arguing.

The day after a 2" snow in late Dec, the sun came out and melted it down, so I couldn't resist some lab work to test out this idea. Notice in the video that dragging the right elbow shallows the shaft from steep at the top to a much shallower angle through impact, pretty close to the address shaft angle.
