What a Drag
Start Down with a Slide of your Hips with a DELAYED Turn and create some Axis Tilt so you can get your Right Shoulder moving down Plane (all of this around a Stationary Head). Learn to swing the Hands not the Clubhead. Drag the butt of the club toward the base of your Plane Line and feel the Uncocking and Rolling of the Flat Left Wrist.

Thanks. I'll certainly give that a try (or 50 trys).

BTW: How does one best learn how to swing the hands ( the clamps ) - not the clubhead, since I'm still having problems with this..

50 is not enough. Remember you are trying to develop new habits.

This is an old post I made a few years back...

Your hands will communicate all that is going on. The problem is most golfers are not listening. When Mr. Kelley wrote the current Chapter 5 (first appeared in the 4th edition I believe) it summarized the book in "a nut-shell" . SWING THE HANDS, MONITOR THE HANDS, Mr. Kelley wrote in capital letter. Nine times out of ten, your swing falls apart because you are not monitoring your hands, you are monitoring the Clubface. What they are telling you falls on deaf ears.

You are Over-loading (we'll save this one for another time), Round-housing, off Plane...The hands will communicate all of this if you will only pay attention. They, pressure points 1,2,3 located in the hands, are always trying to communicate, along with their distant cousin, the #4 Pressure Point. That is where your precision is if you use them; recognizing and reconcilling minor differences. The first step is to listen even if you don't speak the language yet.

Thanks again. You are a great help. Ok - not 50 times, but 500 times.

Not 500. More like 1500.

That's ok - I'll not let that discourage me.

To be on the safe side - the delayed turn (=rotation?) you mention - it's still the hips you are talking about?

Maybe you should get a Taly, Air? It seems to address the flat left wrist and rhythm very well.

I have a Taly - a gift from Yoda. Must use it more. Thanks for the reminder.
