Years ago, I played regularly with a fellow who had been taught by Paul Runyon in Denver. My friend relayed to me that Runyon taught him to swing his arms straight back and up, in a "U" shape and to let his pivot take the club in. I tried it then, but could never make it work. Now, I think, I pretty much do exactly that. The key for me has been monitoring my alignments while I swing back in that "U" shape, which keeps the club on plane and controls my pivot. This thread reminded me of that conversation many years ago.
