Trail Hand to Lead Foot
Work the trail shoulder down toward the lead foot so the hips stay back.

Use this if
You stand up through impact and want a feel to rehearse.
The fault
Standing up through impact: the hips thrust forward and the trail side tips back.
Steps
- Swing slowly to the top, no ball
- Let go with the trail hand and keep the club in the lead hand
- Swing down slowly, reaching the trail hand toward the inside of the lead foot
- Feel the lead glute move back as you reach
- Hit balls with both hands, keeping the trail-shoulder-down feel
Trail hand reaches for the lead foot
Reps
5 slow rehearsals, then 2 x 5 balls at 70%
Why it works
Reaching the trail hand toward the inside of the lead foot in a slow rehearsal makes the trail shoulder work down and around while the lead glute moves back. That is the opposite of the pelvis standing up into the ball.
You need
Club, ball
At home
Rehearsals are slow and no-ball; hit balls only with both hands on the club.
