i'm still pretty early on with my instructor. we've only had one full swing lesson, but so far i have enjoyed what he has me working on. of the few different thoughts i have in my head right now, the best one is "stop." as in, get to the top of the backswing, and stop. he said if he has to put a stop sign on the ground to remind me, he will! it helps me complete the backswing, and have a more in-balance transition into the downswing.
