Lynn, this morning I looked at this Drills & training aids thread. While looking at your great discription and the video, I searched for more drill information.
I found a Very Well written description of drills for the dowels to practice indoors. I can not find the thread seems like it was written by Z- something and you praised his contributions.
Thanks Yoda, that is exactly what I was looking for. These drills and well written descriptions are great. Trying to work on drills this winter in Michigan to develop the "lag" and forward leaning shaft. We have a indoor hitting dome 2 miles away, 75 yards long, but great to get the "drag the mop" feel.
Any other drills you recommend on this wonderful site would be appreciated.
Had 4 hours with Ben Doyle Easter Sunday 2000. Had 2 hour lesson with Tomasello in Myrtle Beach in 2003. Can't decide if I am a Hitter or Swinger!
I have every revision of TGM including the original paper back and now the 7th edition.
I've been spending some time trying to reap the rewards of Dowel Training.
A question about the Left Wrist and Grip has arisen.
The left wrist only cocks and uncocks.
While doing this exercise, I think I realized that my LH grip was wrong.
I had the back of my hand lined up perpendicular to the Aimline at impact..
I'm wondering if the back of my hind should be more parallel to the Aimline.
This makes sense to me because if the Left Wrist only cocks, then the back of the hand would have to be parallel to the Aimline.
I'm also curious if the back of the Left hand and Back of the Left Forearm should be a perfectly straight line or if there is some flexion at impact.
This new setup feels different when I take a full swing because my Left wrist doesn't want to rotate, but I think that limitation might give me more consistency through impact.
The end position feels much more like the 2nd EdZ drill:
* Stand at address, no club, arms hanging, in balance
* make a fist with your left hand, and point your thumb to your right (away from the the target)
* make a 'V' with your right hand, split your middle and ring fingers, ala 'spock' (live long and prosper) and put that 'V' over the base of your left thumb
Your hands will look like this: -|
I just wanted to know if I was on the right path or if I was taking the "Left Wrist only Cocks/Uncocks" too literally.

If you read it as "only the left wrist cocks -not the right "does it make any more sense?.
The left wrist cocks along the line of the right wrist bend.
The left arm rolls to the chosen hinge roll proceedure- so it takes the wrist with it- so the left wrist UNCOCKS and ROLLS.
Any help?
