One of the things that I like to look at on 3D is a measurement of the space between the elbows. It’s one of the more indicative graphs for me, and consistently, professionals keep their elbows closer together at the top of the swing than amateurs. To practice it, take a roll of toilet paper and hold it between your forearms. Practice making backswings keeping the roll between your forearms as you perform the arm movements you learned in the backswing section. Elevate, hinge the right arm and rotate.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This is TP roll backswings for the loss of posture swing fault.
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So we use the roll up or the toilet paper roll a fair amount.
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The great thing about the toilet paper roll is you can get them, they come in kind of these enormous sizes now and you can just whittle them down until it's the right size for you.
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:26,000
So that if you were to grip your forearms together, you would want in about the middle of your forearms to allow you to apply just a gentle amount of pressure.
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:36,000
What can happen in the loss of posture swing fault is as you make your backswing instead of letting your forearms kind of rotate to support that jazzy Jeff move.
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
You will let that right arm fly away in which case you would drop the toilet paper roll.
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:52,000
When the arm flies away like so, this shoulder becomes in a position where it could get impinge and so you'll stand up to prevent that shoulder from having to work so much across your chest.
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So the toilet paper roll and it's a little tricky getting it in the right alignment but no big deal.
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:10,000
So the toilet paper roll gives you that tactile sensation of how your arms are going to feel at the top of the swing and it's much easier for me to create the side bend there.
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Then if I had my arm like this, if I side bend, I can actually feel a little bit of kind of some strain in the capsule.
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So the toilet paper roll will help you work on that right arm position that we talked about in the jazzy Jeff move and help you overcome your loss of posture swing fault.
