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

But from what I can tell....he advocates a bent left wrist at the top (always)....this is "the only way to open the clubface," apparently.

Thanks Gentlemen for all your comments. I’m not proponent or an opponent of Mr. Boners methods, I’m just trying to see where it fits, if it does, into my version of TGM swing.
Thanks for sharing the pictures Yoda. Your visit to his location was well timed.
