GOLF TIP FROM MANZELLA BELOW.
Should be credited to Peter Croker as it is exactly from his method. I have the video and all this talk about the release and " tuggers" is right in the Croker method video when it was first released as Natural Golf.
There's a name for that kind of thing. Nmgolfer can tell you all about it as that kind of thing seems to reside over at that forum.
Manzella's drill that's really Peter Croker's:
Here is a simple exercise for you to do.
It is my go to drill now in lessons with tuggers.
Make a backswing, "leaving your body" as at the top as you can, swing your arms down as far as you can practically.
From there (the clubhead should be 20-30 inches from the ball (apply your hip slide—but not hip turn). The clubhead should be 10-20 inches from the ball now.
You can then see how little you CAN move and reach the ball (by going ahead and pivoting only as much as you need to reach impact).
After that, you can do it as a motion drill, SWING it down to position A, then back, SWING it down to position A, then back, SWING it down to position A, then back, and THIS TIME "catch it" with your pivot and swing to the finish.
Taken from Peter Croker almost word for word the only thing missing is the catch phrase From A to B. and the addition of the 20 inch- 30 inch position from the ball.
The real funny thing is Peter didn't need a team of scientist's to figure it out and he's a TGM'er.

Sorry if you thought that I was aiming it your way that was not my " intention ".
