You're right. I looked at video today and It's pretty smooth going back initially then I definitely see a lifting motion. I actually bought one of those Callaway arm straps that are to keep you connected but have been reluctant to use it. Back when I started my instructor (a chain smoking Lee Marvin lookalike with a Prince Valiant haircut) wanted me to be conscious of completing my back swing with the shoulder turn. I'm thinking that may be a good sensation to try and get back to.
Glad to be of help. It's a problem of mine too. I end up with drives that are short and slicey. Too much turn and a hook comes out.
These days I think about setting my hands to the right on the backswing. The shoulder turn takes care of itself.
