Towel under armpits drill for pitching connection

To fix arms disconnecting in pitching, tuck a normal golf towel under both armpits so the arms stay connected. Keep it inside 30 yards; the point is not to hit the ball far but to feel the triceps and arms rotating around the lower body, which is what a good stock pitch is built on.
