My current key is to keep my right side back and feel the roll of the left wrist - I want to be parallel to the plane line at impact. The feel is a draw since my tendency is the block/fade.

Note: this is all subject to change - next week it could be a different selection from the TGM menu!!:golf:

How do you avoid the dreaded Over-the-Top move?

What winter-time drills -- and real time play drills -- will put you 'in the slot'?

All I think about is trying to deliver my hands and right shoulder down plane.

Yoda, winter has passed and it's already spring... BUT surely winter-time drills -- and real time play drills would be just as effective in the spring. :laughing9

So please, tell us yours!

I apply pressure into the ground, i feel my left shoulder move down, out and forward applying pressure in that direction. Once my ankle, knee, hip and left shoulder joint are in line, then i rotate keeping the left shoulder on a flat plane to promote horizontal hinging and keep maintaining the pressure into the ground via the left foot.

Sustian the "LAG"!
 
I keep rotating my Pivot to pull/drive the Power Accumulators through Impact, during which the Clubhead lags behind the Grip, which lags behind the Arms, which lag behind the Shoulders, which lag behind the Hips, and to the Finish.:salut:

This is the most difficult concept for me to get when it comes to the golf swing.
As anybody can tell from reading this thread, each person describes what they do using a different vocabulary. In my opinion, the most vexing concept is that of aiming point. Just exactly what is being aimed, and how is it being aimed? Are the eyes focused on the aiming point? If not, where are they focused. I am currently working on Tom Tomasello's (demonstrated in the Lee Deitrick video letters in the gallery) idea of throwing the hands down and out on the plane from the top. This approach takes the lower body out of the move except for following the momentum generated by the hands swinging the club. It is hardest the me to do with the driver so I will continue to practice.

I'm also a hitter and my first move has been pushing my right forearm pp#1 at my aim point and out through to right field. Lately I have tried to keep that "push" (flying wedge with right wrist)all the way through and well past impact.
I have also seen a photo of myself recently 1/2 into the downswing and my right forearm and right elbow seem to be lagging behind my right hip (disconnection with the body). So I am toying with making my first move a right elbow adjustmnet towards my right hip before firing at my aimpoint. I have only tried it a couple of holes and like the results so far.

Yoda- Are you ready to tell us your's?

To my untrained eye, it looks to me like you do a lateral hip slide (hula hula) move to start your downstroke.

Yes but there is the little bit of business where Yoda's left heel slams down on the ground first , I think.

Right, left, right, left , right, left etc etc etc. Wild Lynn Melhourne McDonald Blake they call him. Well sometimes anyway. I heard it once, I think. Maybe.

I am using the ground up but my only thought is keep the flying wedge frozen (hands in casts) at the top and spin the right shoulder down plane (thanks Daryl!).

BTW was watching JB Holmes on the range Sunday - he is a short stocky guy but is as long as anyone out there. His swing is compact (unlike Bubba Watson or Dustin Johnson). He hits it straight with a little fade. He has obviously figured it out.

Is J P Holmes a hitter? Since relatively short backswing at the top, frozen bent right wrist at impact to follow through?
