Fold the right arm to load power with a short backswing

To create power without a long backswing, the speaker folds the right arm to load the club sooner, putting him into what he calls a 'Hogan-esque' short, fully loaded backswing position. He contrasts this with getting wide, which he says delays the loading — folding the arm lets you load sooner instead.
