Drill: squeeze a ball between your forearms
Whether you are swing type one or two, this one drill aims to maximize power and minimize miss shots: grab a seven iron, tee the ball up so you're not hitting off the deck, and squeeze a ball between your forearms while making easy swings. The speaker says it helps maximize swing speed and the efficiency of your turn within your range of motion; for a bent lead arm it encourages you to bend less, because if you bend you might drop the ball.
