Looking through the book, it seems that there are only 5 drills that Mr. Kelley speaks of. These drills are the foundation of what I use to teach.
I have taken the liberty of assigning names where none existed. Please correct or add to this list if there are in errors and/or ommissions of such drills described by Mr. Kelley.
1) Hinge Action Education
Per 2-G: "For a Practice drill, Educate the Left Hand (5-0) to reproduce - with Zero Pivot - the three Hinge Actions, distinct and separate, while swinging continuously back and forth. First without a Club, then with a short Club, then with both Hands. Then with increasing Pivot motion using the Right Forearm per 7-19. Learning only one Action isn't so helpful because you won't know their differences.
2) Cut Shot Therapy
Per 3-F-7-A: "A very successful anti-steering therapy is an exaggerated "inside-out" Cut Shot per 10-5-E...You always Swing along the Plane Line but not always along the Flight Line. So learn dismiss the Flight Line. Depend on Clubface alignment for direction control (2-J). In fact, learn to execute all Plane Line Variations (10-5) to remove all uncertainty from your Computer (14-0)."
This coincides with 3-F-6: "MASTER'S level of execution. That is - with and without Wristcock, with and without #3 Accumulator, with any Hinging, with any Plane Line Combination (10-5) from any Ball Location, Hitting or Swinging, with Right Forearm Takeaway (7-3) and with a motionless Right Wrist."
Ben Doyle told me in Carmel last summer that when I master this, I will be "very difficult to beat".
3) The Release Motions Drill
Per 4-D-0: "Construct an Inclined Plane such as shown in 10-5, or find a low bench, fence rail or anything providing the Clubshaft with a straight edge or flat surface - and swing the Clubshaft back and forth along that edge or surface while executing the above Wrist and Hand Motions until you thoroughly understand their relation to 10-5."
I use this drill to teach the Release Motions as well as teach a proper Follow Through (8-11 and 6-H-C) and a Straight Plane Line per the 3rd Essential (2-0-B-3).
4) The Flat Left Wrist Drill
Per 4-D-1: "Take a very "short" Grip and practice swinging back and forth with the top of the Clubshaft against the inside of the Left Forearm until you can hold the Wrist steady with a normal Grip. So - there must be the Flat Left Wrist. Or its equivalent (10-2-G). Or a compensation (6-D, 7-19, 6-C-2-E).
5) The Rhythm Drill
Rhythm is holding both Lever Assemblies to the same basic RPM throughout the Stroke while overtaking all other Components at a steady, even rate. (because of the Flat Left Wrist) (Glossary)
Per 7-10: "For a very basic drill, practice all Hinge Motions - by moving the Left Arm (only)0 back and forth - on their normal Plane AND on the Inclined Plane, without a Club and with the Wrist Flat and Vertical to learn the Feel of the Rhythmic motion required through Impact per 2-G."
