Essentially my drill uses a metronome (have always struggled with tempo) with a right forearm takeaway, over exaggerated hip slide, followed by a hip turn focusing on getting the shoulder as deep down plane as I can.

My biggest faults have always been over acceleration, inside plane takeaway both of which has lead to shoulder spin out in the downswing.

I'm trying to drill out all 3 of those problems at once.

Please feel free to critique.

You are 'bobbing" here, Grant -- downward head motion -- and way too 'position' conscious for what you trying to achieve. Your 'hip bump' and impact alignments are admirable but must be kept in context of a swinging motion.

Stay with half swings for awhile. Equal length in both directions, Right Forearm parallel to the ground in the backstroke, then left forearm parallel into the finish. Point the butt end of the club at the line (again, in both directions). Keep the motion continuous -- back and through and back and through. Let the left wrist roll to plane and recock into the finish. Let the club swing free.

Quoting the late, great Canadian golfer George Knudsen, "To gain control you must give up control".

Quoting Bob Jones, "Freewheel".

Quoting me, "Let'er go at the bottom".
