This idea is really a new swing thought for me. I guess I was really an arm lifter before. I am really trying to let the tilt cause my arms to lift and swing around my body. feels or ideas to help with this to make it more ingrained.

@ericsc - Here are a couple of suggestions:
1) Indoor Training Program - The 3 Main Golf Swing Movements
2) Chapter 2 of Golf Swing Simplified - Train the Correct Body Motions
@danny can certainly attest to the importance of Chapter 2. I'll also share this regarding navigating the school and the learning process: The chapters, lessons, and drills that comprise the Golf Swing Simplified course curriculum are not randomly ordered; they are designed to be taken sequentially from the beginning. Regardless of a member's skill level, this swing necessitates a complete reboot for someone transitioning from a shift & lift swing (which is typically the case), and therefore it is imperative that one take sufficient time to ensure that the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters are mastered. From the ground up there is nothing superfluous in the Stack & Tilt swing - in other words, everything with a purpose, and a purpose for everything. I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when students jump ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating themselves to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built.
One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use the partially abbreviated swing it provides on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing!

I would say you need 2 things at the beginning. 1. Exaggerate the heck out of everything. Keep those hands at your belt line. 2. Video review like, every swing. You'll realize your exaggerated feel isn't as exaggerated as you think!
