I have some tubing which potentially will allow me to do this drill, I'll try it out and get back to you.

Thanks Burley. One more question...I saw that you didn't take a divot in that clip, is that usual when you put on the device?
As Yoda said....low point missed or just not a good shot in the clip?

I don't take many divots, never been a big divot taker because of the hard pan, but when I get on course like Pebble, or up North I take sod.. Its probley just my swing, I really don't know if that was a good or bad swing because I was just showing how the device works and trying to look cool...LoL
Burley nice swing
looks like you have a Hogan-esque lateral movement of your hips forward and over your left leg prior to the completion of your backswing?
Interesting thread

Hogan said something about a belt looping around the elbows in an articule titled "Learning Good Golf by Sense"...and nowadays we have many arm connection type training aids.
I also want to have a device that can make the swing became so easy to learn and perform...I will try one as per your design this week and feel it.
Thanks for your insight.

I hope you can add some more insight to it. I bet Yoda either already had something like this, or is making one to see if it has any merit to use.
I was just trying to be creative, nothing is going to help my swing unless I get that left knee and pivot under control. I sure do hit the ball good with it on though, wish it was legal on the course..haha! Glad so many people liked it, the R.A.T. is cheap to make and the idea is free to all, enjoy!.

Naah . . . I just use a band of tubing to demonstrate the Straight Line Delivery Path of Thrust (Aiming Point / 6-E-2). I wrap the tube around the right hand (and the #3 Pressure Point / Right Index Finger) and then either stand (with my left foot) on the other end (not exactly the Aiming Point but students get the idea!) or anchor it under (a) the assisting student's foot (at the precise Aiming Point / Ball Location) or (b) under some similarly located heavy piece of equipment.
In the end, it's all to make a very big point:
The Right Arm -- always with the Pivot doing its job -- takes the Club Up Plane with a 'wind up' motion identical with throwing a ball. If you are an athlete who has thrown a million balls, you have a leg up. If not . . .

Here you go KOC, I shot a DTL for everyone. Hope this helps you get a better view.

Please, KOC, and with all due respect to the late Mr. Hogan . . . NO!
No constricting belts around the arms.
No constricting yarn entwining the arms.
No constricting towels under the arms.
All these inhibit the free Right Arm and Elbow Action on the Backstroke. We are, after all, 'winding up' to 'throw a ball'.
Instead, at Fix (and then at Address) align the Left Arm Flying Wedge and the Right Arm Flying Wedge at right angles to each other. [For newbies, please use the search function. There are countless posts on this subject. See the arm alignments in my avatar for the Accelerated Course. ]
From Start Up, connect the 'wedges' with the 'glue' of Extensor Action. This is no big deal: simply let the free Right Arm tug the Left into the Backstoke.
Finally, understand Right Elbow action and its participation throughout the Stroke. It lifts and lowers the Left Arm as it Cocks and Uncocks the Left Wrist.
