I've seen how hard you hit them. I wouldn't describe that as "bashing"...

Go with your buddies. Four of you can split a medium bucket. :)

Now that this site has ingrained the idea of slow and purposeful practice I really can't go there because I would likely only hit a bucket at most. Almost as expensive as playing golf. But I'm getting a lot better and a lot faster, I can only imagine how awesome it would be if there were any decent instructors around here.
Yeah... If you pay by the hour, you're better off doing the SSSSS work at home, with a mirror or something.

I have started hinging (and folding my trail elbow) sooner than I ever have in the past and like the results. More compact and repeatable, seems to have less wild and wooly variables when I keep it all compact and I feel like I have more time if you know what I mean.
I tend to roll my arms a bit, get under at 2, and not let my right elbow fold and be soft early on, so my right shoulder would get high. Effectively I'd have a steep shoulder turn and a shallow shaft, and be stuck compensating (granted I could compensate pretty well) the rest of the time. I'm trying to hinge faster as hinging helps counter rolling and also stops my shoulders from getting quite so steep.
As I said before the feeling is Arms (to A2.3), Torso (feel like I only turn to get to the top from A2), Arms (arms get down fast, now while the hips go forward and my foot banks), and Torso (to finish the rotation on the downswing and get the clubhead out of the ground).
Arms, Torso, Arms*, Torso.
* That's the same as the "SLAM" feeling I had for awhile a few pages ago.
