How about an 'original' drill based on your 'hands fly off' aiming point location.....

1) get an oversized oven mitt, put it on your right hand
2) 'swing' such that the mitt flies off in front of you and hits the ground about 3-4 feet in front of your lead foot (at a 45 degree angle to the ground)

you can do this standing a few feet from a wall and throw to the corner of the ground/wall.

You will notice that if your FOCUS is on the ball location, it will fly off at the proper angle.

Especially the fiddle drill please. All this time, I may have been 4-barrel swinging(or hitting). Indoors, I practiced 'leaving' the clubhead behind, and it feels significantly different than what I am used to. I don't feel my right forearm thrusting as I normally do, (even though I try to keep it as passive as possible).

DD-The fiddle drill exists somewhere on here in video. Or at least it did at one point in time.

I designed this drill (demonstration)to SHOW how lag and release happen in a SWING.

The first part is taking the 'grip' with thumb/forefinger/&middle finger of both hands.

The 'backswing' is a placement of the shaft on the right side of the head on the shoulders.

There is two parts: the first is FIDDLE-ing, the right arm straightening OUTWARD from the end of the backswing. The sconed is TILTing while yoy fiddle.

Do them both (as if done separately), and add the PIVOT and BOOM! : A REAL GREAT LOOKING MAXIMUM TRIGGER DELAY swinging motion!!
