This is a 'shortcut' drill and is not 'designed' to train the Pivot. This drill FORCES your pivot to comply in order to hit good shots.

I call it a 'shortcut' because you may be able to execute good shots with this drill, transfer the feel to a normal swing, have ABSOLUTELY ZERO idea about how the pivot should work and still hit good shots.

As in my post, the only way to hit straight or draw shots with this grip is to:

1) Have the right shoulder coming down plane first as opposed to a round house.
2) Have the clubhead coming from an inside path
3) Have proper hinge action per your loading procedure
4) Finish swivel
I like it!
