I will try the sit down technique asap and post a video sometime in the next week or so.
As for not pulling my hands down from the top...how do I bring my hands down and direct them at my forward aiming point? Is it just the rotation of my body that will bring them to impact?

The Sit-Down will Pull Down the Right Shoulder, the Hip Slide (Axis Tilt) will continue Pulling the Right Shoulder and Arms from their Shoulder Sockets, the Hip Turn will continue pulling the Arms and induce a Throw-Out of the #4 Accumulator (Left Arm) off the Chest (Sensing this change of direction of Force) which causes the Release to begin, Uncock and 'Roll around the Hinge'.
Of course, if you were to do this exactly as I outlined, you should miss the ball. Your Right Elbow is so Bent that your Clubhead will pass 6" above the ball. (Do a very Slow Motion swing and Notice how high your Right Forearm is above plane at release). Unbending your Forearm is not a solution because it wrecks the Right Forearm Flying Wedge). So, for now, add in a lot of Hand-Eye and Right Forearm-Eye Coordination, or; use a 7" high Tee.
Read about the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence.
Make sure that the Ball is in the way of the Clubhead.
I like where Daryl is going with this. I will add one more thing. You need to be careful of the thrid Snare Bobbing (3-F-7-C) which will disrupt your Shoulder to ball Radius (reference 1-L-1 & 2).
Set your Head at Impact Fix (7-8 ) and leave it there. This will most like likely require more Waist Bend and/or Knee flex (7-2-4).
Great post of sit down Daryl. Could you please go into a little more detail about running out of right leg. Does this relate to getting stuck on the right side? I have trouble turning thru the ball and wonder about my sequence of events.
Hi guys, I'm already having some success with keeping my right arm tighter to my body, but my hips are still racing out in front too much (too much lateral slide). Drewitgolf, I have no idea what you just said ....I have very limited knowledge of TGM. I have a feeling some reading will be required!
I also still have the flip (that'll take a lot of practice to eliminate), but I'll post a video of what I'm trying for the sit down. I think I will need to work a LOT on this to control the lower body more so there isn't really a significant change. I just want to make sure that I'm heading in the right direction with the drill (or if I'm doing it completely wrong).
Here's what I was doing....go to the top of the swing, pump down three time just with hip rotation (with the sit down move) and then make a swing from the top.
Also, I sorta took part of my drill from Hogan's book. He talked about starting down with the hips and not the hands so I figured doing what he suggested would be a good place to start (his advice seemed very similar to yours).
If this looks like I have the right idea, I will make a better video (at the range) in about 1 week after I've had a real chance to practice it.

Hi David,
The "running out of Right Leg" was a statement I made after watching Zingmans Video. His Hips were so far Forward that he had to drag his right leg to the Finish. I also think that his Forward Hips before Impact cause them to stop turning, which, in turn, stops the Pivot Lag Train.
Before and After Impact, your Left Wrist is Flat and the Clubshaft should remain in-line with your Left Arm (keeping the Primary Lever). Normally, Golfers quit the Alignments and allow the Right Wrist to Flatten immediately during or after Impact (99.99% of amateurs and 99% of Pro's) and the Club becomes in-Line with the Right Arm. The Flattening Right Wrist during or immediately after impact is the single worst motion/alignment any golfer can make.
Do this:
Assume a Grip with your arms Fully Extended in front of you. Flat Left Wrist and Bent Right Wrist. Then, with-out moving your Arms, Turn (Rotate, revolve, spin) your Hands counter-clockwise keeping your Right Wrist Bent. Your Right Wrist is above your Left Wrist. If you did this correctly, your Right Wrist remained Bent and your Left Wrist is slightly Arched and your Arms remained Straight and remained directly in front of you. This is the appearance of your Hands after Impact, and after Both Arms become Straight. At Both Arms Straight, your Bent Right Wrist makes the Back of your Right Hand face to your right away from the target. After both Arms Straight, your Right Wrist may actually face your face, as your left arm bends and folds against your Left Side.
If the Golf world had Academy Awards for "Best Content", the following Video would Win 1st Place. It's exactly what I'm talking about, just not as loud.
HK says "DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP" and one of those preparations is to aim at the inside-Aft quadrant of the ball with a Straight Line Delivery Path. You'll need these for the following practice or you'll learn them soon enough.
Do this with short Pitch shots. If your Pivot is Misaligned even a little, your hands will tell you. If your Head is not Centered, you'll know it. If your Hips have stopped rotating, you'll definitely feel it. If your approach (Delivery Path)is off, your Left Wrist will hurt like hell (for days). If you Run-Out-Of-Right-Leg, you-will-pull-a-groin-muscle. In fact, you must practice this slow at first until your bad alignments are replaced by alignments and motion sequences trained into it by the Hands otherwise injuries will occur and you may be out for the season.
Costs:
The cost of trying; $0.00, the sound of compression; Priceless.
Thanks for the reply.. I have a 10-2-d grip and its knuckles up and a geometric flat wrist. Thanks to Yoda and golfgnome I am just beginning to understand release and rhythm. With bilateral knee replacement and arthritis I have trouble with my pivot. It is hard to "catch the dog by the tail" if you run out of right leg. Running out of right leg seemed to resonant with me
