How to do it
Take your backswing to the top.
Pump the club down halfway, checking your hands are in front of your chest, not behind your trail hip.
Repeat the pump 3 times, keeping the hands out front each time.
On the fourth rep, complete the swing with the same feeling.
Goal
Train the arms to stay out in front of the body instead of getting stuck behind it.
Feel cue
Feel your hands stay in front of your chest as your body turns.
Mistake to avoid
Don't let your hips spin so fast that the arms get left behind — slow the pumps down until the feeling is clear.
