How to do it
Fold a hand towel and tuck it under your trail armpit.
Take your normal setup with a mid iron.
Make slow backswings all the way to the top without dropping the towel.
If it falls, note where in the swing it happened and rebuild from there.
Repeat for 3 sets of 10 backswings.
Goal
Keep the trail upper arm working across the chest so the arms and body arrive at the top together.
Feel cue
Feel a light squeeze of the towel between your trail upper arm and your ribs the whole way back.
Mistake to avoid
Clamping the arm so hard against your side that you can't complete a turn — light contact is enough, and the towel should only fall when the arm genuinely runs away.
