Goal: Shorten the overswing without losing shoulder turn
How to do it
Record face-on and swing back only until your lead arm reads 10:30 on the clock. Check on video that the shaft doesn't go past horizontal. Once you nail 8 out of 10, hit balls at 80% with that stopping point.
At the top the shaft goes clearly past horizontal; the lead arm bends and the grip loosens at the end of the backswing.
