Groove lead-side feel with a 100-yard sand wedge drill

The co-host says he uses this cross-handed feel beyond chipping because he hits big hooks by getting under it and too in-to-out and then getting stuck. Feeling more lead-side dominant, with his elbow staying in front and his body rotating, makes it easier for him to neutralize his path and attack angle. He turns it into a drill by hitting full swings from about 100 yards with a sand wedge to get that feeling.

Why this context matters

Getting 'stuck' here means the arms dropping too far behind an over-rotated, in-to-out path.
