OK, I'll start with a few general, but important, drills.

Get a broom.

Hold it about halfway down, with the top of the handle against your left side. As you first start, it can be helpful to split your hands by a few inches to really allow key feels to sink in.

The 'face' of the broom should be 'square', or alternately you can drill with it 'flat' on plane for a different perspective.

Do hip to hip 'swings', focused on 1) keeping your left arm and the handle in line and 2) keeping the 'face' of the broom 'square to its arc'. This is best done with a feeling and focus on your right hand and forearm, and ELBOW. The tip of your elbow should move straight back, up and in. Your right hand/palm should feel as if it 'faces the ball'.

As you 'swing' through, feel the extension of the right arm, the bend in the right wrist, and keep the handle from hitting your side. When you get to 'both arms straight', allow either rotation or bend/arch of the wrists. You won't get beyond near hip high, but you'll have some great feels.

As you do this, focus on 'bending the bristles' - feel the thrust DOWNWARD. Pose impact, push the bristles downward, and outward.

Do this for a week - hip to hip.

You will notice the broom will show you plane, it will show you if your left wrist is solid, and it will show you a very nice 'both arms straight' follow through. Notice your right forearm and shoulder, and elbow, down, out, and forward.

Close your eyes for a while doing these small swings.

After you have this down, get a basket ball. Practice moving from 'impact fix' to both arms straight by 'pushing the inside corner of the basketball' and notice the 'spin' you can put on the ball. Try spinning the ball first right to left, then no side spin, then left to right. Alternate using a split grip, and your golf grip with each of these.

Do this for at least a week.

Then move to holding the broom with the end touching your belly, a bit to the left of your belly button, split your grip - practice JUST the first few feet of a takeaway, and the first few feet past impact. Do this drill only after you have really understood the feels in the first drills. Don't let the handle move away from its 'connection', and again, limit this to a few feet back and through.

Close your eyes. See what you are trying to do in your minds eye. Have a mirror nearby, look, look, look......
