Nice drill. I like it's simplicity. I'm all about keeping things simple these days, and it seems to be working.

I took a lesson a couple years ago, when battling the OTT move big time. I had a "lazy lead shoulder" as the pro put it (left shoulder for me as I am a rightie). Basically my shoulder was open at address.

He had me address the ball in a "square" fashion with my hips, toes, knees etc pointing down the target line, but had me close my left shoulder a bit. Basically just act like you are shrugging your left shoulder, that action raises it a bit and pushes a little forward (forward meaning out in front of you, not forward towards the target). It helps greatly with starting the backswing out on an inside track (towards 7 oclock) and then swinging out (towards 1 oclock). Flattens out your swing plane a little which is what I greatly needed.

Whenever that OTT move comes back, I just concentrate on shrugging and closing that left shoulder a bit, keeps you connected as well.

I think Sergio does this quite noticeably.
