"By the way, there are some world class swing doctors available at our Medical Center in Georgia that can fix you quicker than Texas can beat Oklahoma."
Does that mean it would take SIX yrs(1999-2005) to fix him?
One exercise that Yoda had me doing that when I get what I feel is out of sync is to Go to the Top or End, Hold and shift, then complete the down stroke. This done with what I really thought was strange of keeping the weight on my left side during the entire swing does me good.
The length of pause is very short duringthe drill, it is go IMU to get things in sync.
I think if you practiced what brian talks about in the turning shoulder plane swing in slow full swings you might "sync up" better.
What he has you do is basically drop the clubhead from the top of the swing into the ground. It should hit the ground somewhere around your back foot. Do that about ten times, feel the drop into the ground. THEN "catch the drop" with your pivot and just let the throwout of centrifugal force put the clubhead on the ball.
He goes into more detail in his video short

I will try Brian's idea. I have done something similar in the past, and it seemed to get my hands in a better impact condition. What video short has this? I have Confessions of a former flipper- is that what you are talking about? Thanks for the help guys. Martee- I will try your idea as well.
My legs do the same but a drill on here from Yoda really helped. It entails placing/attaching a dowel across your thighs. If your legs move to fast or incorrrectly you will hit the dowel with your club. I have never attached a dowel but played this weekend imagining the dowel there and dropping the hands/arms first so I don't hit the dowel really helped. It is a great image/drill. One that I will work on all winter. Have to figure out how to attach it however.

This is an excellent drill and likely the cure for you. Slide the dowel through your two front belt loops.
Hitting shots with your feet together, or as a better variation, with your trail foot crossed in front and feet together, are other drills that should help you quiet down your leg drive. Putting a small object (ball, piece of 2/4 etc) under the outside edge of your lead foot will really help you feel the 'post up' move, but use this with caution or you'll hurt your knee.
Often this goes along with being well under plane, so I would also suggest doing some plane line tracing.

bgolfing,
I recommend one of those elastic, thread-covered 'bungie' cords that have a hook at each end. Obviously, I don't know what they're called, but you can buy them at any hardware store. Just put the band behind your legs and hook each end to the dowel on the thighs. You may have to tie a knot or two in the cord to adjust its length.
And now for another application, Extensor Action! Loop the cord around your left shoulder, run it through one of the hooks and snug the loop around your shoulder. Now, with your left arm hanging loosely at your side, stretch out the cord -- now your pseudo-left arm! -- with your right arm. Take the motion to the to the Top and then down and through and into your Finish. Keep that cord stretched at all times.
You can also use Bungie Cord to visualise the Straight Line Delivery Path of the Hands going downplane on the Downstroke.
Just have one end of the cord under your left toe (or better still, tucked under somewhere where the ball would be) and stretch until your hands are Right Shoulder high which is the Top location. Then just take your Hands down that straight line path all the way down! Your Right Shoulder should also go down that exact same line.
You can also put on a windbreaker or sweatshirt. then remove the left arm from the sleeve. Use the sleeve in the same fashion as the rope to feel extensor action.
