Check trail elbow with a tour stick on your shoulder
Hold an alignment or tour stick between the index finger and thumb and position it on the trail shoulder, neither too high nor too low. In the downswing, use visible room between the forearm and stick as the checkpoint; this contrasts with the forearm lining up with the stick, a position the speaker says he sees often and that disrupts even small pitch shots.

Why this context matters
Craig says the same gap fault shows up even on small pitch shots.
