Air,
Basic motion is like beginning to learn to walk or to swim or to ride a bike. It is probably the single most important drill you can do to arrive at striking a ball in sweet spot and getting to the point that you can count on it. Yoda says 2 feet back and 2 feet forward. 4 feet. No more than that. Anything more will just put off your improvement for a longer time.
Last winter in the basement I would do 5 sets of 20 and be lucky to come up with 10 that felt the way I wanted them to.
BE PATIENT.
Basic motion is the foundation of all things good in golf.

I realize that the basic motion is the stepping stone to the G.O.L.F swing, but I'm unsure how it in itself stops someone from coming OTT. There must be some missing links. I'm afraid that a whole winter only with basic motion in itself doesn't get rid of OTT. But who knows...? (Actually I know who knows..)
Basic Motion alone, in my opinion, will teach you how to deliver the power package through the ball on the intended line. It is a godsend.
After you have become very comfortable with basic motion you can move onto Acquired Motion. I firmly believe you will begin to understand the proper alignments to deliver the power package in such away as to not do that OTT maneuver.

I hope you are right. It would certainly have been easier if I started with golf now, but I have 21 years of OTT demons to overcome...
First, I think the flat left wrist/bent right wrist concept.
Then the confirmation and focus on each of the pressure points in the hands. I found the more downward I pressured the shaft with 1 and 3, the better the compression. Like City says, "straight to China."
Then the concept of the Power Package and dumping it right down through the ball.
I think those for starters and that's without much thought. Others could very well add and of course correct me here.
