Ice, check out Harry Vardons swing for some serious lagging on the takeaway. A not so popular these days move but it'd make a real shot seem more like a Melhourn drill shot with its tremendous Loading via momentum, Swinging from the Feet, Lag and Drag. Lag is "golfs secret". Even when putting.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one doing these drills at every available opportunity

Make sure you revisit Post #5 in this thread: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...4468#post54468

Overactive shoulders -- Pivot-Controlled Hands -- continue to be the bane of golfers everywhere. Keep those puppies square to the target line through impact and swing your arms and hands freely past them (while keeping your head still). Get reckless!

This is the essence of the effective, efficient golf stroke.

Aficionados should study 6-B-3-0. For the very brave, add 6-M-1.

I was starting to turn too inside and not trace enough! Keeping the shoulders more square to the Base Line of the Plane will help every shot as my arms swing more up!

That would explain the odd "duck hook" since everything else was solid: Grip, Standard Address, Mid-Body hands, TSP, Right/Left March and Flail then Arrow through the Ear (Should I call this the "Osama?") .

Awesome!
