Yoda says: Where does the 'disconnect' seem to be between your current procedure and the ideas you are attempting to implement on the range? In other words, what is it that just doesn't seem to work for you?

Noproblemos:
First of all, before watching the Ben Doyle videos, I would like to describe how i was swinging.
I like to think of my left arm and left wrist moving down to low point opposite the outside of my left shoulder. I sometimes do this by making left hand only swings. After I am accurate with this, I add the right hand, but only if I can still make sure that my swing plane and bent right wrist can guarantee that I have that correct low point. This has been working for me for all year (less fat shots), although I’m not sure that it’s the correct way to swing the club. Any opinions on this?

With the Ben Doyle videos,
I really feel I’m holding on the club too long with my right hand. When I do the “hip action” I feel like very little time for power to get transferred to the club, since I was holding on with the right arm too long. I’m obviously doing something wrong, because isn’t it “hip action” that actually puts a lot of power in a boxer’s punch? (is this correct Hue?)
Plus, in the dowel drills, aren't we just bringing the right forearm up and down without trying to hold everything for too long?
