Thumbs-on-lats drill to coil without swaying

A backswing drill using the thumbs placed in the middle of the back: push the lat so the chest stays down through the turn instead of swaying with the chest lifting. The instructor's checkpoints are that the knees move back and forth rather than sideways, the chest stays down, and the left knee sticks out, which she calls proper stability and turn.
