Do any of you use this?

It is a good way to get the FEEL for Swinging, but don't overdo it. TGMers, if they wish to employ this, should probably execute the ROPE DRAG as part of their RIGHT FOREARM TAKEAWAY. It's very subtle, and should just be a part of the total Right Forearm Takeaway along with a slight FANNING and gradual UPWARD MOTION. The LEFT ARM, is simultaneously doing it't selected WRIST ACTION.

It is also one way to help people that whip the club inside!
Lagster,

All excellent points! This is what Homer Kelley termed the Lagging Clubhead Takeaway -- the Swinger's Ideal -- in the soon to be published 7th edition. And it absolutely is executed in conjunction with the Right Forearm Takeaway.

Colonel 12 Piece, when you're scanning tomorrow, please also scan Plate 32 so readers will see clearly what Lagster is talking about.
