If noone has responded yet....take a bungie cord or piece of surgical tubing. Step on one end with your left foot (apporoximate impact location). Now, do a right forearm pickup/takeaway to the top and stop right there....if you can look in a mirror, notice the straight line from the hands to impact?!? This is the line you want to take your hands into impact....pretty cool. Once you are at the top, you can see the straight line to impact....this is tough for some people to grasp right away since they view the swing as circular (which it is). Most people that get stuck here want to monitor the clubhead vs the hands. If you take your hands in this straight line to impact, the clubhead will follow in its circular orbit!

nice.
Yoda showed me this little drill and gave me a long flat piece of orange surgical type tubing. He told me to feel the right arm pulling away, but that it moves right up on plane because the fixed length of the left arm forms the radius. From there, I can see the straight line path back to the ball. Simple, but very effective.

Duke's drill uses a stretch band between the Hands to learn Extensor Action. FL-John's drill uses a stretch band from Left Foot to the Right Hand to make visible the Delivery Path and to reinforce the Impact Hand Location. Or, to make visible its Indirect Equivalent, the Aiming Point Concept, i.e., the Line of Thrust from the #3 Pressure Point to the Ball. To do this, a friend's foot -- or another anchor -- holds the stretch band at the simulated Ball Location as the player uses his Right Forearm to take the band to the Top and Down again to Right Arm Straight.
Two different concepts. Two different types of stretch bands. One common goal:
Compression!
