Right-hand-in-front drill for lead arm across the chest

A drill to connect the lead arm to the chest: from your address position with the arms hanging and the same distance from the ball, bring the right hand in front of the left, then draw the arm back so a larger part of the inner side of the top arm is drawn across the chest. Hanson says to keep the lead wrist flat and to keep the drill realistic.

Try it

  1. Take your address position and let your arms hang down
  2. Bring your right hand in front of your left
  3. Draw the arm back so the inner side of your top arm is drawn across your chest
  4. Keep the lead wrist still flat

Why this context matters

Hanson notes the exaggerated position looks a little like a Ben Hogan swing.
