Load-and-punch trail arm drill for speed

As a no-club rehearsal, the coach has you pull the trail arm in, load it as if you're going to throw a baseball, then extend and punch it down range with the palm facing the target. He likens the loading-and-extending to a punch and describes it as producing a snap and a lot of speed.
