I just thought I'd share this "insight" I had today. I've been playing good golf of late but forgot this "basic" piece that Tom has been hammering and Andy Plummer hammered with me in the Spring when I took a lesson. I got so focused on tucking the trail elbow (and good at it), but I forgot to "almost" hyperextend the lead arm at setup (or as Tom calls "PITS OUT"). Tom sparked the thought when he mentioned Andy stuck a club through his trail and lead arm at setup (he did the same with me - was the whole lesson). The only way you can get a club through DTL is if lead arm is super (PITS OUT) extended and trail elbow is super tucked in. With that set up, it becomes VERY hard to screw things up. What Tom says about "PITS OUT" here is key (for me) and may be helpful to others: https://youtu.be/09OhWvggPhk

Great stuff, @tomhayes188! Thanks for sharing this setup key for putting the swing on autopilot!!
