Air,

To hit a proper draw, you need to swing a little inside to out, and you need to create a little axis tilt. By keeping your shoulders back, you are creating that axis tilt, but IMHO, you are robbing yourself of some power. If you look closely at YODA's teaching, you will find he creates the necessary axis tilt by moving his hips forward during the stroke, in fact he sets up with his hips a little forward. One of his biggest keys is keeping his chest over the ball. Not moving the head and shoulders back, maintaining the TRIPOD.

YODA creates a very powerful swing with this method, and when you hear the compression you are sold.

Visuals of his action help me with this Air. I hope this helps. It's the Holy Grail I'm chasing...
