Tuck a rod under both armpits for arms-body connection

For chippers who disconnect or flip, tuck an alignment rod (or a towel) under both armpits and hit little ~10-yard chips while rotating the arms and body together so the triceps stay connected to the torso. He warns not to try to hit it further or you will feel boxed in; the drill forces arms and body to work as a unit rather than the arms taking over.
