No-ball impact drill: abbreviated swing, shaft down

An off-season drill to groove impact indoors. Make abbreviated swings working from club-parallel-to-the-ground to a finish just after impact, extending the arms through, with the one key checkpoint being the club shaft angled down (not up) at the finish. Choke up so you don't hit the carpet, swing the shoulders slowly, and do about ten reps.
