You may want to seek therapy if you are picturing a goat. Supermodels are recommended.
The dreaded hosel fade--always put a ball or headcover about a ball's diameter on the outside of your desired ball in practice.
Use one of those garden sticks with a headcover hanging off the edge and hanging above your hands.."down in the gutter..not up on the curb."
And no more bestiality, either, you sicko.

Swing under the stick. you'll need some assistance and a fiberglass rod or one of those aligment sticks. Home depot, lowes have those driveway reflectors which look like aligment rods. Have some one hold the rod parallel behind the ball almost over the ball about a foot to a foot and a half off the ground make sure the rod is long enough so you dont hit the person who is holding it and then swing under the stick without a ball a few times when you feel confident enough put a ball down and swing away.

Are you across the line at the top?
Not the OP, but I have the same issues (except I tend to hit off the toe), and I'm very much across the line. How does that tie in to the high handle/goat humping?

Inward rotation of the left arm flying wedge, while maintaining some wrist cock without early right side bending, with a hair of late twistaway.

See Brian's answer...all of which are harder to do from across the line.
I believe our TPI brethren would call it "early extension." They define it this way: "Early Extension is defined as any forward movement (thrust) of the lower body towards the golf ball during the downswing."
I don't wish to be judgmental but goat humping, in all its permutations, is almost always a bad thing.

Now thats funny!
Whew! I thought everyone knew what I was talking about. . . ..
I worked at the range today (I'm the OP) on Brian's suggestions, to the extent that I understood them. Definitely better.
I will work tomorrow trying to keep my right heel on the ground longer.
I stil do not know how you intentionally tumble. Basically, terminology is still an issue. Brian's answer may have been more gratifying to someone who understood all of what he said.
