This is another fabulous post one would only find in this forum. Thanks so much. I tried it and it is most helpful.
Now if I could just remember it after the dang snow melts. More coming in a couple days.

+1 - Great post,drewitgolf. From Chuck Evans I learned this tip (I'll try to explain it the best I can):

- At the top of your swing, take a short dowel (or a club) and hold it 'shotgun style' against the right shoulder. The dowel will point back behind you, to the right.
- On the downswing trace the target line with the dowel (and right shoulder) through impact.

Chuck has a video of this drill and explains it a lot better than I did... but it's a great drill.

One by-product of the drill I posted is that students that had trouble keeping their Hips back during the downswing automatically were able to keep them from moving toward the ball and were able for the first time to maintain their Waist Bend from Start Down to Follow Through. Also, if you have trouble with "running out of Right Arm", this will help as well as allows you to comply with 1-L-15.
