Take a few hard swings left hand only keeping the left arm SOFT. You will feel the "connection" . . . but it is not something that YOU HOLD . . . it is something that is caused by LAG and the pivot blasting the left arm into impact.
There is "Ballard type connection" and then there is G.O.L.F. connection . . . I'll take the latter.
