Remember I said IF you had time to dedicate to your MOTION, most do not have the time. Hand motions count, any motion any swing with or without the ball. You could argue that making 500 swings without a ball might be more of a crash translation vs. Relative. Personally now that I have the right information and I know what to practice the only way for me to groove it is several hundred practice swings a day working on various different things, I just don't see how else to do it.
Forming my correct Grip and Adjusted Address with slight Front Hip opening and slight forward shaft, I turn my Back Hip, feel the weight in PP # 3 and the left thumb and with a Balanced Stationary Head and know I'm on Plane right before I turn my chest and club Down , Out, and Forward watching the blur of the club as it pulls me to the Arrow Finish Swivel with Wedges still intact.

those are great things to practice. The key is working with a mirror or a reflection. Of course I play and hit balls as well but without doubt the at home practice has been the most productive. Make the correct motion and let the ball eventually get in the way.
Youre a good swinger already. Id suggest you do 450 putts on the rug from about 4' while your watching tv. But if you must ...how bout 50 non stop Wild Bill Melhourne type continuous full swings to work on MOTION, balance, lag. Brush the grass or rug in both directions , feel lag in both directions, swing the hands and let the club go in your tension free wrists (but with a firmish grip) the hands are just clamps. Feel the pressure points, all of 'em. Its the grass whip lesson , similar to the MacDonald exercises ....its very old, out of style but believe me it works.
I was starting to loose it the mid am qualifier and did a few of these and blammo it all came back. Made it home without leaking any more oil , qualified . Melhourne gave Hogan lessons so I imagine he did them......well actually I believe he did them for 20 minutes in the locker room prior to heading to the practice tee.
PS The lag and drag you feel when doing this is profound. Theres something about the reverse of directions that removes your ill founded golf intentions. You can hit shots like this, magical shots.......if you tape it I bet you see a slightly later release point too!! More ground/up in the Downswing Sequence. It sort of tricks your golf mind into taking a break. Brushing in both directions is key. Strike the match in both directions so to speak, lag in both directions.
