How to do it
Take your address position with a mid-iron.
As you turn back, keep your attention on your trail elbow staying close to your side.
Feel it continue to point down toward your trail pocket rather than lifting up and away.
Check the position at the top, then repeat, building to full swings.
Goal
Keep the trail elbow tracking close to the body so the downswing has somewhere to drop it into.
Feel cue
Feel your trail elbow stay pointed at your trail pocket as you turn back.
Mistake to avoid
Pinning the elbow so tightly to the ribs that the turn gets restricted.
