Let the club set your distance from the ball

The coach shows a way to find distance from the ball. He places the trail arm on the side of the pec toward the front, puts the hand where the trail hand would be, then tilts over from the belt line and lets the club fall. With the hands underneath the shoulders, the club answers how far to stand from the ball.
