Hmmm....
Good Grip and decent posture.
Just left of center ball position.
Lift, Drop, and Rotate.
Knees touching at the finish, spun up on the right toe.
Have them PRACTICE just dropping from the top.
Have them make back and forth swings at the same spot, back and forth, forth and back. Put ablls there as they start down. Have them not change the pace. Back and forth....
Pose them through the swing, saying NOTHING. Just feel...feel...

Great minds think...
Brian, you wouldn't believe it! I did every one of those things (except knees touching at finish) before you wrote this! I also tried the credit card trick, sugar trick, throw off the drunk trick, divot train trick. They sure are handy!
I find using imagery and drills the best way to teach these people (as opposed to just telling them to make their left wrist flat at impact, for example).
Few more questions:
Is the purpose of knees touching to avoid an over the top pivot?
Are there any other methods for teaching a flat left wrist and downward impact without getting to 'do it with their arms and hands' so to speak?
How do you teach structural rigidity in the swing (I'm not talking about a dead straight hyperextended left arm ala Els, but just not a floppy 90 deg bent one) without creating unnecessary tension which disrupts the throw-out action induced by the pivot?
