Complete the backswing: long body turn, short arm swing

The speaker recounts advice from his mentor Todd Sones: when you lose your draw or stop coming from the inside the way you need to, the fix is to 'complete your backswing.' But that does not mean making the swing longer. For his players it means a long body turn with a short arm swing, keeping your chest facing your hands at the top - a cue to reground an inside draw without lengthening the swing.
