How to do it
Set up in front of a mirror with a mid-iron.
Make a normal body turn into the backswing.
Consciously let the arms finish a little higher and the lead arm a little more vertical at the top.
Check the position in the mirror, then repeat until it feels normal.
Goal
Retrain a plane that is too shallow by feeling a slightly steeper, higher-hands top position.
Feel cue
Feel your lead arm sit a little more vertical at the top than usual.
Mistake to avoid
Lifting only with the arms instead of finishing the same body turn with a higher arm position.
