I am trying to get more of a slap feeling or action with my right arm. In his analysis of Hogan's swing, Brian mentioned seeing a lot of Hogan's belly-side of the forearm late into the swing. I used to be a flipper (and that is still my tendency) but I have worked hard to change. I really like the feeling that I get when I use the right side like Brian suggests but when I do this the ball cuts more than I would like. I have always been a drawer and like that ball flight. When I stay behind the ball and try and slap through the shot I cut the ball too much. Any suggestions to hit straighter or draw with that slapping action? Many thanks.

Do you know how to lag the sweet spot?
Getting into a Hogan deep pitch position with a lot of axis tilt is slice city for the average golfer w/o clubface control.

MY WAY
Here's the abridged (layman's) forum approved way:
1)Manzella's* twistaway
2)NHA's* pivot booty sliding on the wall drill
3)Axis tilt on the downswing
4)Right forearm slap
That's the tamed version of MY right arm powered swing. Effortless power
You will never drive the ball less than 290 yards.
Here's the why:
1) Cures your clubface issue (balls leaking to the right)
2) Counteracts #1
3) Positions the body in the correct place to smash with the right forearm.
4) POWER (In the words of Digger: Thank you Homer* for giving me back my right arm/hand.)
This is application and not theory. I will not debate it! Not necessarily Hogan, but I'm sure he would approve
A few changes and you can have either a heavy FATS pattern or the purest of PURE swings.
Holy Hogan

This is basically one of the ways I am screwing around with to hit a draw.
It's more or less my pattern with a more closed clubface throughout. (and of course at separation)
I don't do the booty-sliding consciously but it is with a steeper shoulder turn so....
And of course this is still in Testing Phase 2.9er Beta-Gamma...........

I can shape my shots either way with this pattern, so it is more than just a draw pattern. My stock shot shape is basically straight-to-tinytiny-draw.
This is the same pattern I teach my niece
My personal version is way more amped up... Ferrari or Corvette.Kevin Shields
