Rob Cheney demonstrates how to achieve a powerful and simple backswing by mastering trail shoulder retraction. Using the trail-arm-only drill, golfers learn to open up the chest and create sufficient swing length without over-flexing the arms, leading to better ball striking and more efficient arm orbit.

• Focus on retracting the trail shoulder backward rather than just turning the torso.
• The 'trail-arm-only' drill helps create a stretch in the chest and prevents trail arm collapse.
• A properly retracted shoulder will often appear on the lead side of your head when viewed from the front.
• Retracting the shoulder allows the arms to orbit the body naturally, providing swing length without losing width.
