Chair drill to pin the trail arm at address

A simple drill to train the trail-arm pin that can be done sitting in a chair. Get into your address position with a strong grip and build the 'wall' with the club vertical, then pivot the club until it is parallel to the ground and feel the same trail-palm-to-lead-thumb-knuckle connection you had with the club on the ground.

Try it

  1. get into our address position with our nice strong grip really build this kind of wall
  2. the club is going to be vertical at this point
  3. pivot the club to where it's parallel to the ground
  4. feel that same connection of that trail palm to that lead thumb knuckle
