12 Piece, if you have read the "center fold" article in the latest Golf Magazine by A.J. Bonar I would be very interested in your thoughts.

An important move to understand to be sure, one that 'most' people are lacking, but I find it offensive that he claims it is 'his discovery' - heck, Hogan's 5 lessons, page 102 shows it. Homer talks about it (ready to ROLL on that line), I've posted about it, Lynn has posted about it and done video clips.

That said, I would agree that the vast majority of teachers/books/videos of the past don't really stress this move enough, or confuse folks with how they present it. Although I've always liked the 'hitch hiker' drill of Toski/Love from "How to Feel a Real Golf Swing".

All of that said, what A.J. leaves out in that article is that the rate of rotation has to 'match up' to the pivot - smooth motion. This is one of the big benefits of a figure 8 strap, as it shows you the relationship between the pivot and the forearms (hands and chest). The root of 'Rhythm' and 'connection'.

Go out and give it a 'roll' until you can hook the heck out of it and 'hear' the ball - then learn to synch up your body rotation and forearms.

If you've setup well, set your flying wedges and taken your grip at impact fix, you'll like the results
