Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
A shoulder-blades-together cue counters the rounded, slumped upper back of C-posture at setup; resetting the scapulae before bending into the golf posture keeps the spine closer to neutral instead of collapsing forward.
How to Perform the Drill
The coach gives no set rep count. Our general guideline: 3 sets of 10 slow rehearsal reps, then half swings with a ball, adding speed only once the steps feel natural.
Before settling into address, stand tall and gently draw the shoulder blades together and slightly down, not up into a shrug.
Hold the scapular squeeze for a couple of seconds to feel the chest open and the upper back come out of a rounded position.
Maintain that upper-body set as you hinge forward from the hips into your golf posture, rather than letting the shoulders roll forward as you bend over.
Use this scapular reset as a repeatable pre-shot cue so every address position starts from the same tall, un-rounded upper back.
