Tuck the trail arm underneath to stop the slice

For golfers who slice, the instructor points to a trail arm that sits too far out at address; that sends the club outside the line and produces a pull-slice. The fix is to move the trail arm and forearm so it is tucked underneath. His down-the-line checkpoint: from that view you should be able to see the top of your lead forearm.

Part of the setup 'first move'; he also cues softening the trail elbow.
