Drills for staying connected, towel drill etc
Ive read up on a few drills to try out for staying connected in the golf swing. Towel / glove under the arm pit. I think my arms are out racing my body on the downswing.
Has anyone tried any drills like this and do you know is the drill just for a half backswing to get the right feel (I cant complete backswing with a towel under both arms)
Is the towel or glove supposed to be under both arms?
Or is it better to do this drill with the glove under the left arm only? The drills ive read up on seem to contradict one another.
thanks
John

The way I imagine the arms in the golf swing is that your upper arms are superglued to your chest.
Then when you swing they stay there.
Put the towel across your chest and under both arms, then do a full swing and see if you can keep the towel there.

Thanks Russell
Ive been to the driving range tonight and started off with the towel under left arm hitting my PW . Was hitting the ball really well even though it felt awkward.
Then bought a 'power band' in the shop (only £8) and that felt really weird (as if the club was getting nowwhere near high enough on backswing, but i was really hiiting my rescue club well - even with a bit of a draw which i never do. Tried a few balls at the end with driver but they were bad.
Only hit approx. 35 / 40 balls so i'll persevere over the next few days and see how it goes.
thanks again
