▶ this video ▶ this video ▶ this video Forget all that thought and focus on connection drills. Towel, glove, etc in between the peck and trail bicep to keep the trail elbow in front of your chest. Some people pinch their shirt in a ball under their peck. You can do while you play a round as well.

The biggest thing is your pelvis is turning out from under you at the top, so you have to sway to recenter it. At this point the arms are already almost at the ball. [reddit.com] Another thing I would take a look at is the left elbow. ▶ this video
