Thanks for the clarifications and suggestions. I obviously have some more figuring out to do with respect to feeling and directing my lag pressure. I'm trying to learn swinging - it seems to be progressing although somewhat slowly - I've had a lot of incredible AHA moments but I'm sure there are many more to go.
I've been thinking about the sweetspot plane versus the shaft plane some more and came up with the following thought experiment:
Perform your normal swing with a golf club.
Now imagine that the clubface is stretched out horizontally more such that it looks more like a hockey stick - let's say one foot long. The sweet spot remains centered in the club face and is now much further away from you. The shaft length and lie angle stay the same. Imagine swinging this club.
Now imagine that the clubface is stretched even more such that it is stretched out to something crazy like fifteen feet long. Imagine swinging this club.
In your imaginary swings, did the motion and/or plane of the club shaft during the swing differ between the three clubs or was it the same? If it differed, how did it differ? I'd be interested in people's opinions on this (or if somebody can build the clubs and video that would be even better!).
Still don't see how anyone would not benifit from dowels.
I think its the best way to get the motions with speed.
But being not a full TGM guy I would like to here people explain if Im off based.
For and example this is how I into to many junior's how to develop speed and realase on the downswing.I find that kids get real hung up on the clubface and not the left arm(swinger models). With pitching its great for them to on shaft lean.
Anyway if anyone sees any thing that may work better let me know.

Homer Kelley did not use dowels as instruments to create 'speed.' Not that you can't use them for that...of course you can...and I do myself in certain drills.
But he did not.
Instead, he used them only as 'something to hold' as The Hands master their Chapters 4, 5 and 12-3-0 assigments.
Will Homer's written G.O.L.F. curriculum ever be available to the golfing public???
I wouldn't hold my breath, DG. Before the two curriculums -- short and long course -- are made available to the public, they should first be made available to Authorized Instructors. And to my knowledge, the new regime has not yet done that.
