I could write 5 pages on how Im doing it but that pretty much sums it up. I imagine it as a mix of MacDonald drill #11 ( the Pivot , golfs basic rotor like action , which establishes the Lagging Clubhead Takeaway from Adjusted) combined with the Right Forearm Pickup ( via the middle two fingers of the right hand in a Bertholy "rod and claw" like manner). #1 Pressure Point for Extensor Action and the Pickup ensuring the club stays on plane, Hands to Pivot. A pure Vertical Left Hand wrist cock plane of motion, no arching Horizontal Hand Motion, the Clubhead free wheeling , swinging up the plane. I can feel it! Swish, swish BLAMMO. Id been close at times but now I own it. Id been trying to Lag the club away with my Hands! To get it , I had to rid myself of any latent left arm push away or steering of the face square to the ball stuff from my junior years. Pivot turns Back and around whilst the RFT takes the Hands Up the Plane. Lagging and Dragging, giving up control to gain control. Im Swing'n like Count Basie.
