Glue the right arm to your chest on tight-lie chips
This player loses the strike because his upper body slows down and the right arm throws through, with the trail knee kicking in. The fix is connection: keep the right arm glued to the body and the chest turning through the ball so hands and chest move together. Drill it by taking the left hand off the club, sliding it up under the right arm and pinching the palm against the rib cage, then making chip-length swings feeling the arm stay connected as you come down.
