At Acquired Motion, Daryl, with my wedges set 90 degrees to each other on plane (during swinging) it feels like the swing is over. The slightest move left fires the hands to throw at the ball on the baseline of the plane.

But in Hitting there is a covering of the line that runs through the inner quadrant of the ball out to right field. A slight push off or hip bump there makes the elbow to feel like it drops on the line bringing the impact to the inner quadrant of the ball.

Is that the elbow drop feeling you are talking about?

The Curriculum's, are, "Basic Motion", "Acquired Motion", and "Total Motion".

These represent the 3 steps of Acceleration in the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence.

Basic Motion: Teaches Clubhead Acceleration. It's the Right Forearm Angle of Approach that creates the Pulley - Release. You learn that while the Hands move a few inches, that the Clubhead Travels 6 feet. CF Throwout for Swingers, #1 Accumulator for Hitters.

Acquired Motion: Teaches Hand Acceleration. This is bringing the in-tact, undisturbed Power Package into the pulley. This is the swing phase in which the Left Arm is Blasted from the Chest and the Right Elbow and Forearm move together toward the Release Point. Use the Bucket Drill to Learn both "Basic and Acquired" motion. Learn the Straight Line Delivery to the Pulley. This is where it feels like the Power Package Drops from the Shoulders Joints. That's ok while learning. But then you should start "Driving", and then, it will feel like you're Dragging. Drag with your Pivot. Drag the #3 PP into the Pulley, then,,,keep dragging.

Total Motion: Teaches Shoulder Acceleration. This is the Pivot, rapidly accelerating the Right Shoulder - and - Power Package.

Keep these three Phases distinct while mastering. Most useful is learning the Pulley. Then, Hand Acceleration, Then Shoulder Acceleration.

Have you mastered the "Pulley" - Right Forearm Angle of Approach? It Sounds like you are getting better and better. But, I don't think that you're performing Acquired Motion correctly. You Said: "The slightest move left fires the hands to throw" sounds more like "Pulley". If it were Acquired motion then you would say: "it feels like I'm dragging a wet mop".

The Second Stage is the MOST CRITICAL and Important. And, by far, it is the most difficult to learn. Not properly executing the Hand Acceleration Phase causes you to lose Lag Pressure and cause the Clubhead to lead the Shaft into impact. Both Amateur and Professional Hacks swing while poorly executing this phase.

Do Not allow misguided efforts to sidetrack your progress. You're focusing on covering the line or tracing???? No. Learn swinging first. Get that Right Elbow and Forearm AWAY from the Body. Learn to deliver the Hands to the Pulley. Then worry about Plane Line Tracing and Loading to Hit.
