I don't want to say I am 100% right on this drill but I believe that the way Ben Dole is telling the man on the video this is the only way this drill could be done. Ben Dole talks to the guy about a towel in his back side and thats about it, then he tells him to remember hold the dogs tail let it go and clip the dogs tail. What I believe to be right and it feels good is; on the back swing let the thighs try to kinda squeeze, and coming down they open kinda like Sam Snead (FEEL), then at impact clip the dogs tail by (feeling like you are going to chop that sucker off with your knees. What the last does is get the left hip moving back and the right foot rolling in. Great drill if I've got it right, I seem to hit it much better this way with less effort, and stay in my posture.
Thanks,

I found it. 6-B-3-O, Duh. How can anyone lose this one? Every Ball-Washer on every golf course should have a plaque that reads "6-B-3-O"

The Turning Rate of the Pivot Components – especially the Shoulder Turn as actuated by Hip Action (7-15) – MUST be identical and synchronous with the #3 Accumulator Roll, else its Rhythm gets disrupted. Or at least difficult. This requirement also dictates when and how much Downstroke Hip Slide is needed. The “On Plane” Right Forearm ALWAYS establishes and maintains the correct Clubshaft-Left Arm angle through Release and Impact. See 7-3.

The Feet (Component #17) and Knees (#16) respond to the Hip Turn (#14) and its Action (#15). NOT vice versa. Substituting Foot and Knee Motion for the correct Hip Turn and Action is a universal flaw that leads to "Happy Feet and Knees". This gratuitous Motion does not CAUSE anything, and in fact, tends to disrupt the Action it was intended to produce.

Id like to nominate this post for immediate inclusion in The TGM Hall Of Fame. Perhaps a brass plaque on the wall. Im thinking of getting it tatoo'd on my upper legs so I can read it when I ever look down at address...... assuming Im in shorts. Ill silk screen it on some pants too for cooler climates.

Whoa Kemosabe.
The Feet and Knees should respond to the needs of the Hip Turn and its Action so they may perform as required by Zones 2 and 3.
