Full Swing · Drill

Swap your hands to groove the trail-arm circle

The instructor's drill: swap the hands around on the grip, then set up with your arms on top of your chest and make some rehearsal swings, staying very solid over the ball. It lets you feel the trail arm sit down. He notes hitting an actual ball this way is too hard for many people, so use it mainly as a rehearsal.

Why this context matters

Presented as 'step three'; builds on the arms-on-chest and trail-arm setup and depends on them.
