I look forward to seeing what everyone else has to say about it.
One cool thing to try may be to. . .

Just throw it down behind the ball and gradually inch the contact point closer and closer until you actuall strike the ball then the turf and see what happens.

I have been fortunate enough to see Preachapokechop demo this . . . it's cool. I think the vertical hammering should give you a feel of what the #2 pressure point should be sensing. I used to try to feel like I was just holding the left wrist flat and feel it via #2. That ain't it.

If you do that hammering thing and really focus on the #2 pressure point and NOT the CLUBHEAD . . . you feel it load . . . I have come to believe that the Flat Left Wrist is more about DYNAMIC PROPER MOTION than just holding the freakin' thing flat.

Again Homer said if you THROW OUT you will not BEND. And I don't think this leads to any kind of circle path either. Experiment with this hammering deal. Do it via the left triceps ala a Non-Automatic release. Then hammer vertically by trying to drag the heel of the hand down and let CF really throw it out. You can feel the Snap Release. It's just in a vertical plane.

I love this dealie. Probably not thing for Hitters but makes a lot of sense for the Swinger.
