Feel chest expansion and rotation with a clap drill
A no-club setup drill to groove the address feel of chest expansion. Stand feet shoulder width apart, clap your hands with fingers pointing down at the ball and bend from the waist until your fingertips reach the tops of your knees, then stretch both arms straight out so your thumbs point to the sky (this creates the chest expansion). Add rotation by moving fingers down to the ball then up to the sky in the backswing, and again to the ball and up to the sky at impact.
