Here's a photo of me doing my best to deliver exactly that message in a classroom setting way back in 1983. I was using an improvised 'low bench' (two chairs and a rod), a double-headed flashlight, a dowel, a golf club, a handful of golf balls and an impassioned explanation.

Today I would add a couple of dowel drills, particularly one using my Right Forearm Flying Wedge (with a dowel, not a Club) to trace a Straight Plane Line, with a second dowel 'clamped' (by my left hand) onto the Right Forearm (to indicate its simultaneous Tracing. It is the same setup I demonstrate in the video demonstrating Delivery Path alignments and dynamics (see The Gallery/Free Video/Lynn Blake/Dowels and Wedges http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...els_wedges.wmv). Many thanks to LBG member Doug for contributing this video clip from his lesson.

By the way, that's Dr. Gary Wiren, then Director of Instruction for the PGA of America, in the background wearing the tie and black, crested blazer. Also, with his back to the camera in a white sweater is Tim Rash. Tim was a 5-handicap when he attended that school in late winter. He would go on to win the Richmond City Amateur in the summer.
