When you say you have a vague notion of what it should look like- Could you describe what you are doing now that you know is not correct?

It's best to have a link to a video of your swing.
No my shoulder is not roundhousing. Basically, I go to a short backswing then return to almost exactly the same position I started from, then do some sort of funky sweep release. The club is only driving through the ball about 5 or 6 inches, before it runs out of arm and spins up on the other side.

My Vague Notion - Basically, what I think should happen is the clubhead should drive down and though the ball like a sidways axe. Arms push out till they are fully extended.

I reckon my arms are not extending all the way because of A,B,C - A) my shoulder is not travelling downplane before the hands B) shoulder is not travelling downplane far enough C) not swivelling the forearm properly.

I would really like to learn how to do this part of the motion properly, but I am not 100% sure what to practice to achieve it.
