I'm an big S&T fan and it changed my game last season, decreased my HCP (under the new WHS calculation) by 5 points. Still 27 HCP, but it's consitent now. But somehow I could not get it to work with the driver. Always heavily throwing my trail shoulder down to the ball, which looks severaly over the top when you look on video. This despite keeping elbow connected. I stumbled on this video, https://youtu.be/YVpMQC04ewk and is has bene a great extra tip, think pushing the trail shoulder down, that seems to word much better (still perfectioning it). What are you thoughts Tom, maybe do a consise Tom style trick :)

@richard.peyser - It's still the same swing motion regardless of which club we are hitting; there are just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods, and as demonstrated in the driver video you referenced. So with regard to the forward tilt at the start of the swing, you are actually tilting, turning, and extending. It is the combination of these motions that keeps you centered so your upper body does not tilt towards the target, your relationship with the ball is maintained, and your weight does not shift to the trail side.
