Touch the ground behind the right foot drill

A downswing drill: from the top, move down and just touch the ground with the club slightly behind the right foot, closing the gap of the knees, done slowly. Hanson says you don't have to actually touch the ground, just get close and feel where the elbow and arms are. He frames it as a slight exaggeration to stop the right shoulder driving over, which he calls a death move under pressure.
