Hi,
New member here. Enjoying the site and waiting for the book to arrive. I think there is a lot of good info here. In the first video when he is doing the chipping/pitching drill to get the proper feel of impact, what club is he using? Wedge? Seven iron? Also, when I have done this drill I am amazed at the crisp contact it imparts on the ball. How does one incorporate this small chipping motion that results in proper contact in to full swing?
Welcome to the forum...the point of the small chips/pitches like taking baby steps. You crawl, before walk...walk befoe run, etc, etc. Homer Kelly truly believed that one could more closely monitor the correct feelings when doing short shots (Basic Motion) first. As you can do this consistently, you then progress to Pitches (Acquired Motion). Often times, we want to try and make our 'new motion' by doing full swings at full speed. As I have come to know, the more I engrain the feeling and motions in these short shots, it begins to become more automatic in the longer swings. As soon as you start to lose the proper feelings in the longer swings, go back to the shorter motions...much easier to monitor!

Being lurking for a while, this is a terrific site!
The lesson video made me realized that I'm a flipper. Time to incorporate the lesson learned, FLW/BRW. I bought the yellow book long time ago, but not be able to decipher. Hopefully, with the info on this forum, I can make progress in learning this great game!
One obsevation I have regarding the video lesson:
The student in this video lesson seems to not bending from the hip in contrast to Ben. This may cause him not be able to apply core muscle more effectively.
