Thanks,

First, I started with address and alignments. We started in 3-F-5, 6-B-3-0-1, and 7-3 with the right forearm alignment. His shoulders began 45 degrees open, but in the end they were square. His relationship to his baseline wouldn't allow him to trace or roll.
Once he got his relationship to the new, straight baseline, we started in 12-5-1 & 2. Basic and Acquired Motions are the keys to the kingdom. If you can't keep a flat left wrist with the smaller strokes, you won't be able to do it with a Total Motion.
He was a true champion of 3-F-7-A (Steering). The changes really came when he understood the feel of a Finish Swivel. I asked him to have the feeling of an exaggerated Swivel (most importantly, not executing impact as a Swivel).
I find Delivery Line
ROLL Prep (12-3-0, #22) to be just as important as Homer stated.
I love what Yoda says about teaching Tour players: "I love teaching fish how to swim." But, it's just as rewarding to turn a gopher into a fish.
