Thumbs-Together Arm-Chest Connection Drill

Place thumbs together with hands retracted and elbows pulled tight into the rib cage to rehearse torso rotation and keep the arms connected to the chest.

Key points

  • Keep triceps and elbows softly pinned against the front of the rib cage throughout the motion
  • Rotate the chest around the lead side rather than swinging the arms independently
  • Allow the hands to follow a natural shallow inside-to-inside arc while keeping the clubhead outside the hands

Common mistakes

Letting the elbows disconnect and wing away from the torso, leading to long and uncontrollable arm swings.
