Thumbs up for great golf!
Use this very simple drill to gain awareness of the correct amount of arm rotation in the swing.
The drill involves making short swings (to about half way back) without a club, focusing on where the thumbs are pointing.
At half way back and halfway through we are trying to get the thumbs to be pointing upwards. (If being really precise they should also be pointing slightly behind you.)
Get the feeling firstly without a club and watch yourself swing in a mirror if possible.
Take the same feeling and with practice swings repeat the drill, halfway back and then through.
Once you have a good feeling for being able to repeat the motion with the club, tee up a ball and try to repeat the feelings in a short swing with the ball.
You may find (like I did in the video) that your swing with the ball becomes a little longer than the practice swings.
The main thing here though is to get the arm rotation repeating with the ball being hit, so don’t worry too much on the length of swing, as long as it is shorter than normal.
