Cover the ball and finish low for solid impact contact

Saguto Golf coach gives a drill to feel solid impact: swing the club around the body on the way through and finish low and around, with the arms finishing below the belt line. He describes covering the ball with the right arm so the right hand points down at the ground toward the target rather than toward the sky, and says you should hit shots that come out as pulls with good divots. That feeling, he says, can then be reeled into the regular swing and translate.
