1a. It means you have either maintained or actually brought the elbow forward so the upper arm angle is greater 90 to the shoulder line.

It's been cold enough here I haven't been out to the field for a bit.
I've been doing my practice sessions by raking leaves, trying for proper weight transfer on each pull. Hoping for a warm day to test it this weekend.
That" lead with the elbow" thing though, I'm wondering if some of us beginners get the wrong image and do it wrong.
Leading with the elbow gives me the image of moving the upper arm relative to the torso. The finish of that motion would be with the elbow pointing at the target as the elbow straightens.
However isn't that way too late for the elbow to straighten? Does it really straighten when the upper arm has moved to 90 degrees to the target line, because the shoulder turn has brought it to that point?
