You're absolutely correct that the Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point are the ones responsible for keeping the Club 'on track' through Impact, and their absence forfeits a substantial control. However, using a little Pivot to help you through will go a long way toward eliminating those one-arm fat and thin shots. I was doing the left arm drill last night at the range with my SW. When I was making decent contact, I was getting straight shots and when I did get a draw I felt as if I was dragging the club left more than rotating the left arm and employing HH properly. Will by using my pivot more will this stop the left arm dragging the club? Also, if I am hitting the ball straight would that mean that I am not using HH properly? I remember reading in a previous post that you should be hitting soft draws. Is this correct?
