I like the focus of the action in the "whip drill" and this one (or part of it, anyway)...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_MT7wc_tfY. Am I on the wrong path by using these drills with the focus on top hand swivel and maintaining the "power-V"?
Any time you perform a drill, you need to have the brain actively engaged in what you are attempting to extract.
Virtually any 'drill' can be 'bad' ..... and hence the attitude is to learn from the drill and move on to passing the positive aspect of the drill into your swing. You'll want to perform video confirmation that you were successful ...... and if you are not successful, then the job is not done.
One “potential” plus from this drill is the feel of the barrel turning around the rear forearm during the backwards portion of the swing arc.
One “potential flaw” in this drill is that the rear elbow is always slotted …. So it doesn’t teach how the barrel turning process marries with the slot …. And how the hand action can actually have the feel of controlling the slotting action.
Another “potential flaw” is the lack of extension as the swing passes by the ‘RVP Connection Point Position’ …. And the possible promotion of swinging ‘around’ the body.
It's a drill. Understand what it is you wish to extract from it. Don't perform the drill without actively engaging the brain of the purpose. Don't get to the point where you repeat a drill so often that the brain is NOT actively engaged and that you are instead picking up flaws from the drill. Don't treat "drills" like you would treat "pills" in curing an illness. Don't expect that simply performing drills will cure your swing issues.
