full swing too
Good video. The same principle applies to the full swing. The club head lags behind the hands through impact. Think about an old fashion mop...if you were to swing it like a golf club, the mophead would be lagging behind the stick its mounted on.

EXACTLY.

onebecamefive, it's a "feel."

See how Yoda has the club head lagging behind the hands. SLOWLY...
Please notice the pressure he is putting on the shaft through the line of compression.
Man, that club "feels" heavy!

Draaaaaaaaag the mop...

Make a little more sense? I hope this helps, it is HUGE to our studies...

Take a mob with just your back hand. Drag it along the kitchen tile. Maintain the pressure against the handle with your back index finger.

To help your wife out, maybe add some water to the mob.

The mop works great!
As an alternative, I am wondering if one might take a dowel (approximately the length of a golf club), set it against a stationary vertical object such as a door frame or floor joist (as I do down in the dungeon), then, as one would go into impact position, press the dowel against the vertical object as if in an impact position.
Once you are in a set postion you can lean into it a bit one side at a time. It seems to help in finding a grip position with each hand to take the best advantage of applying some force. It also seems to help isolate extensors.
I just tried it last night and kind of got carried away. With help from Mr. Carter I found it may assist in helping formulate my aiming point a little more clearly. I even tried it with the PBS. I might have to try it with a TALY!

Heck, use everything at once. My Smart Stick will be here soon, we'll add that as well!
