1) Do full slo-mo swings (i.e. say to myself I am going to hit this driver 150 yards, with a full swing) and gradually increase the speed to "normal"....
2) Raise the right heel from the top of the backswing....
3) Practice swings using a three-finger overlap...
4) Keep my right elbow behind my right hip for most of the downswing (stops OTT problems)...

Start the club a few feet in front of the ball, use your body to bang the ground on the way back, full turn, finish....rest.
Some clarification please.
So in 'front of the ball' is 'target side'. Hit the ground presumably where the ball would be. Go to the top of the backswing with a full turn. Then down to finish. Rest.
Correct?

Towel drill. Bath towel folded in half, rolled up and punish something infront (just left) of your left foot. Love it and use it on about 75% of my lessons.

As do I, works great. Have to use the pivot or it just flops all over the place.

I'm not bright enough to put up a video. But if u have "Flipper" its just the 'wallop' Brian does with the towel against hios plane board. Just a real representative way to use your pivot to hit some thing with a flexible stick - like a golf club. The towel is so flexible that you just cant do anything while trying to move the tip end with your wrists.

Here is another spin on the towel drill from Michael Jacobs. Brian and Michael also do the towel drill on the 10 things video.

Well....I just went through a complete swing breakdown...
I didn't know what the F was going on...and I was playing very well at the time.
Struggled for 2 weeks....know what fixed it? The logo that Brian has for the player at impact. I worked on getting that look doing impact fixes and hitting every thing from a 5 iron to a PW 30, 50, and 80 yards. ......and my pivot completely changed....so did the path of my hands during the swing. I was positing up much much better of the left side and could just feel everything come together.
Hitting a 5iron 30 yards using the elements of a swing (vs. a chip or swat) is tough but, swinging down to that impact position will get the pivot working automatically if you hit the ball correctly
