Short Game · Feel

Glue the trail arm on tight lies

For anxious chips, the instructor sees the right arm throwing out, the body slowing down, and the right knee kicking. His fix is a slightly shorter backswing and a strong connection feel, with the right arm glued in so the chest, hands, and arm move through together and reduce the flip.

Try it

  1. shorten that backswing a bit
  2. keep better connection between your right arm
  3. connecting this right elbow much more in here
  4. Get this arm. Literally feel like it's glued in
  5. my chest, my hands, everything's gone together
