I would recommend Brian's motion to anyone, Swinger or Hitter.

Body Control (9-1) -- Pivot

• Stationary Head (2-0-A-1).
  
• Stable Feet (10-17-C) and Knees (10-16-C).
  
• On Plane Shoulder Turn (10-13-D)
  
• Delayed Hip Turn (10-15-B)

Clubshaft Control (1-L-A)-- Plane Line Tracing

• Right Forearm On Plane at Address.
• Right Forearm On Plane through Impact.

Clubhead Control (1-L-B) -- Lag Pressure.

• Loaded by the Pivot.
• Delivered by the Arms.
• Guided by the Hands.

Clubface Control (1-L-C) -- Flat Left Wrist and Hinge Action.

• When Centrifugal Force drives the Clubhead -- Swinging -- the tendency is toward Horizontal Hinging.
• When Muscular Thrust drives the Clubhead -- Hitting -- the tendency is toward Angled Hinging.

Regarding Pivot Drills, I recommend the MacDonald Exercises #1-4 and #10-11: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=4435.

Also, selected portions of the From Mechanics to Feel videos in The Gallery:http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...ry.php?cat=509.

Finally, when available, Disc #2 -- Drills -- from the soon-to-be-released Blake/Trolio Series.

Today I had a good practice session....my swing has been wobbly lately...I kept in mind Yoda's checklist above and Brian's motion ( I have fortunately seen it in person) and what seems to be a minor adjustment made a big difference in the quality of my contact and the feeling of being able to HH through the ball. It was in my SETUP. First, I set the club on its natural lie (which was more upright than I had been doing) than the right forearm on the same line. This brought me closer to the ball ....I felt comfortable being more upright with my upper body & with minor knee flex & with no hunched over the ball feeling. It seemed like the rest of the swing fell into place. Can something this minor make that much difference...maybe so.....it sure seems if you start your setup incorrectly ...a chain reaction of setup issues can occur which will disrupt the entire swing.
