Trap your lower body to cover the ball

The coach uses a 45-degree between-the-legs station to keep the club straight back, keep the player on top of it, and stop the club from getting inside. The feel is upper body covering the ball without the lower body shooting out, which he says controls low point for chipping, pitching, and other swings.
