Build your swing on the solid rock. Focus on your upper body components and know that the lower body will do the subtle things necessary.
Believe that the physics/energy are maximized this way.
I hope I have given you some reason to do that.
As Yoda told me, "...you are trying to hit a golf ball on ice skates!".
Why am I not suprised that's even a better image. It has a palpable connotation of stance balance. Also, I couldn't do, "Don't slide your legs". I could do "Keep your lower body quiet.". For learning motor skills, I fair much better with a "Do!" and not a "Don't!".
Good luck to us all with lower bodies that want to make noise.

Hi Charlie. Welcome aboard!
We've got a video clip we're working to put up called Quiet Knees and Quiet Feet -- apologies to Carlos Antonio Jobim! -- with Yoda as the lead singer (as well as Driver demonstrator). It's purely homespun stuff -- but fun! -- from a student video made on a cold and gray winter's day last December. Stay tuned!
P.S. How's it coming, Bagger and Trigolt? Are we there yet?!
