I mean, shake the sugar. Below is a definition from Brian almost exactly 3 years from today:

Ok...

First this I should tell you is (shhh!) it's not in the book

This is a THOUGHT or an IDEA or a KEY or a DRILL or a CONCEPT....for a golfer who really needs to let his arms fall from the top,
but....just can't.

THE BRIAN MANZELLA SHAKE THE SUGAR IDEA:

Imagine a vat of Powdered Sugar. Pretend to put your sweaty arms in the vat. Knock off the big pieces.

You now have a decent amount of sugar left, correct?

From the top of your swing, feel like you SHAKE THE SUGAR off on the ball.

A cloud of sugar should hit the ball area.

If you needed this drill/idea/concept, your cloud was either going toward the target, or in the sky.

Enjoy!

I'm thinking this drill will help me with my hooks but I'm not sure. I "think" I understand the drill but don't understand how the cloud would go either toward the target, or in the sky. Anyone know? I think it would be important to know this(at least for me) Thanks

For the BPS'ers, possibly the best descriptive tip I've ever heard.

Is this the same as shoot the blood down to the ball or...imagine you had ketchup all over your arms...and you were shooting the ketchup down the arms, down the shaft, to the ball???? (ala Michael Jacobs)????
