Lost that heavy feeling

If your right hand is taking over, swing with your right thumb and right forefinger OFF the club for a couple of swings. When you put them back on, press them together like your squashing a bug between them. Let there be NO air gap between your right forefinger and your right thumb when they are on the club.
Your hands might be racing ahead of your pivot. The pivot is only as good as it has been trained.
Body leads the hands leads the clubhead. I saw Brian give instruction to Tong doing this: shaking sugar off the arms. Though for another reason I believe.
From the top of the swing just drop your arms down as if you are dropping them behind your right foot. Pivot. The arms will turn with the body. Dial in the right amount of pivot and arm swing.
The sugar? Imagine your arms are coated with a fine power of convention sugar. You should feel as if you are popping the sugar off your hands onto the ball. This might ingrain that lag and pop feeling again.
Also: watch Ben swing a club on a loop for a hour- you can't help feel the heaviness.

ok, just got back from 2 hours at the range. Great tips from Archie Swivel and 6bee1dee. It took me about 20-30 minutes but finally I got it and started smoking the ball. For some reason I've always tried to start at impact fix and hold that all the way through the swing. I finally started just swinging my arms(as if I had no hands) to impact fix. I just have to really concentrate and make sure that lower right hand doesn't break down... Can't wait to get back tomorrow and hit some more... effortless power....
One thing I noticed, I can hit and swing and generate good lag with the short clubs. The longer the club gets the more difficult it is to create lag when hitting, seems to come more naturally swinging.

There's lag you just don't feel it as much because there is no throwout from centrifugal force. Also, the more you feel the "launching pad" of the right shoulder, the more you'll realize there is A LOT of power in the hit

Mathew, you may have found your forte...
Tball, I am glad you have found your snap.

Brian, I think you tried to teach me to get snap at Canton. The shake your sugar off the arms, just didn't seem to sink in, but I can be a very slow learner. For some reason I thought of something Ben said "Your hands are just supposed to hang on". Started focusing on just swinging my arms to impact fix and let the hands just ride. Tough for me mentally I have active hands and just want to get them involved....

"lift, drop, and rotate."
I wonder who said that
"Just hold on and hit it with your pivot."
