In 'The Secret of Hogan's Swing' the author talks about a drill where you let go of the club and it's supposed to travel towards the target. He said that most people will throw the club to the left of target. He also mentioned that this same drill is found in Fred Shoemaker's book 'Extraordinary Golf'.
I have a couple of questions about this drill:
1. (at the moment the more important question) Do we really have a similar feeling when we actually make a real golf swing? When I'm throwing a club toward the target then I really don't have the feeling of hitting down on the golf ball. Remember the drill where you hold a ball in your right hand and you throw it to another ball on the ground (I think Chuck E. and Mike Ben___ mentioned it in their respective videos or on The Golf Channel)? These two drills produce very different feelings. Which one is correct? I know that Lynn has a video where he throws a dowel into the ground. So does this mean that the drill mentioned in the Ben Hogan book, and the Fred Shoemaker book, is incorrect? I think Shoemaker said that this is one of the secrets of good ball striking.
The second question is coming...
BTW, I purchased both of Lynn's first two premium offerings and believe that this is, at least for me, the best golf forum on the web.
Thanks for your help.
