The Trail Arm Drill That Unlocks a Full Shoulder Turn Immediately!
Athletic Motion Golf demonstrates how improper trail arm movement restricts backswing rotation. By holding the lead hand under the trail arm above the elbow and rotating the arm upward, golfers learn to keep their arms in front of their chest and achieve a full shoulder turn naturally.
Pulling the trail arm back like starting a lawnmower shuts off body rotation and restricts shoulder turn.
Place your lead hand under your trail arm just above the elbow to guide proper arm folding and rotation.
Rotate the trail arm up to the top of the swing so it stays in front of your torso.
Tee up an 8-iron and chip balls off the tee using this feel to reinforce proper shoulder rotation.
