There is few things that affect it .. but i will explain it this way instead.

if your club follows a flat plane and straight plane line. the elbow will stay more or less close to your body then start to "fly" out if the club shaft hugs the chosen plane.( thats why a plane board, torch is extremely important). If the elbow sticks or close to the body or right elbow over bents, there is a very huge likely hood that its a Curved plane line, and the club head follows a cone presuming that you have extensor action. Applicable regardless of elbow position, hitting or swinging.

Read and understand Impact fix flying wedge. The elbow have to be bent during impact allowing space for straightening after impact or will lose compression and thus a weak flight. Also ead the magic of right forearm 7-3 also .
