Theres some videos here that touch on this drill. Stick with it till you are dumbstruck by how sweet the ball feels in continuous motion. Then try to build it up to a Total Motion. Thats the ideal. Try to reproduce the feel of the motion when not using continuous motion. It will require a little lag to the backswing most likely if only in feel. Its a great way to warm up prior to a round. When you have it wedge to driver , acquired to total motion you're ready for the first tee for sure. Somedays it won't come easily. Some days it will.
Brush the ground in both directions in continuous motion . "Brush , brush , brush , brush" or "Left , Right , Left , Right" . Thats your intention , that and lag and drag in both directions. The ball just gets in the way. Relax let it swing. Your flubs will suggest throwaway loss of lag pressure , the sweetspot will correspond directly to lag pressure at the #3 pp. Make this connection intellectually. Its important as in the end it will be this feel for lag pressure that you will use to play the game.
Hogan did a similar motion drill in the locker room for 20 minutes , displayed it on the Ed Sullivan show , wrote about it in his book. Its an old thing , largely forgotten but very effective at retraining your motion and intentions.
Lynn starts people off in heavy grass , no balls . Continuous motion back and through. Turn off all your golf thoughts , you're cutting grass now. Back on the short grass the ball will just love this motion .
Its weird how in trying to master this game intellectually we concoct all manner things which take us further from this motion. Or said another way .. how we concoct all manner of things which interrupt the orbit of our circling club head. The orbiting club head seeks out its own delivery line, not the ball. We have to direct this delivery line so it encounters the ball while not disturbing the orbit. As if the ball were not there at all. As if we were swinging at dandelions.
