    Conection

    Hi
    I have been told that you should practice the full swing with a towel under your armpits to stay connected is this correct.
    Thanks Confused

    Re: Conection

    It is a drill that lets you make sure you are not separating the arms from the chest/shoulders to take the club back. Once you get to the top and start to swing thought, the towel should drop (so don’t think this has to stay under the arm the whole swing).

    A major swing flaw is when the arms take the club back all by it's self...and this can be a cause of the shoulders staying relatively still (not turning to their full 90 degrees), which has the affect of a shortened length of your arc (the distance from your center to a point behind you using the tip of your hands as the measuring point). Flaws show up in a couple of ways: when you start the downswing through, it is likely that you will start with your arms, and have an outside-in path causing slices that rob you of distance, the short arc also robbing distance (think of a long line of skaters in a pinwheel—the last skater is hauling ass to keep up, while the ones in the middle are going slower…you want as many skaters attached to that club as you can get), and the lack of shoulder rotation again...robbing you of the full range of potential acceleration through and into impact.

    So the towel makes you take that first ever so important "all connected" takeaway.
