I agree that is a good exercise. An additional thought along those lines is to play the game "How many accumulators?" Most people employ too many around the greens, and at times too few from the tee! I have experience great improvement as an example from 85-100 yards by using just two (4 & 2). I believe HK said that a satifactory game can be had with just two barrels. My bunt golf stroke is a 1/3 hit! This stuff is fun! Execution be damned I just like to know what I am trying to do!

Speaking of accumulators. I rank the "discovery" of #3 as one of the most important in my TGM journey...make that golf journey. When I realized that the left hand grip ideally needed to be under the heel pad...snug in the hook of hamate...this changed the rhythm of my stroke...forever. It also permitted a full left wrist cock...with less left wrist arch at end...all good.

While you are working on basic motion start keeping a record of how far the ball flies with various clubs, that way it will have a real course application immediately e.g. my basic motion SW flies 9 paces. I do not think 9 paces anymore...I just hit it 9 paces.
