[12 piece bucket]

“And a final word about those potential swing-wreckers, the right forefinger and thumb… an extremely beneficial exercise is to practise ( perhaps five minutes daily for a week) is to grip the club and swing it with the right forefinger and thumb entirely off the shaft”
Modern Fundamantals of Golf by Ben Hogan

Ben Hogan ( in Home movie video in gallery) almost does this drill when displaying HIS pressure points in the grip... I think that 5 minutes daily for life is the minimium!

Also to do this right hand only with eyes closed... have a go... it seems like a good way to get people to realise that LAG is something that you experience rather than just the appearance of left wristcock ( which is commonly considered as the visual equivalent)... of course now you are hitting but it makes the point that lag is not wristcock alone...you see what i mean...? i think...?

My point about numbing pp3 was only slightly joking... it would be fascinating to see what happened to a players precision if you deprived the swing of its primary sensor! Go on bucket , next time you go to the dentist , ask them to slip the little needle in around pp3... then off to the range make sure you got video though!

You would still technically have "position sense" receptors telling your brain how cocked the left wrist was but LAAAGGG is so much more than that... don't you think?

That was pretty funny! . . . . My hygenist is hot too . . . .

I USED TO THINK a cocked left wrist was lag . . . . but it ain't!
