Looking for drills for club face rotation at and through and after impact

I am thinking about a practice drill where I would be hitting small, slow, partial shots...thinking "rotate", "extend", "toe", "finish". Where "rotate" would be getting me down to impact, "extend" would be that point after impact where the right elbow straightens, then "toe" would be that point where the toe points down the target line, then "finish" would be that point where my arms are extended out to the target with my left arm still straight like Keegan Bradley and Michelle Wie. Keeping my pivot rotating and my hands raising so the clubhead does not pass the hands. Keeping my sternum back. Keeping my spine inclination down. Maybe "extend" is the club shaft 20 to 30 angular degrees past impact. Maybe "toe" is 50 to 60 degrees past impact. Then "finish" is 90 degrees past impact or parallel to the ground after impact. And I am going to hunt down the teachers who were satisfied with teaching me grip, stance, alignment, and plane.

Fools gold.

Different sequence needed for short shots and long ones and practicing short shots to get some benefit on long ones is VERY dicey—at best.

Yuk.

Just start close-twisting just before parallel, get your left wrist to max arch at the pic's position above, and fling the heck out of it all the way to spiderman left hand.

You mean right side bend moving into back extension, right? ;)

And layback and an no Gamma!
