Most golfers will make crucial errors while rotating because it feels powerful… but it usually creates the exact problems they’re trying to avoid: loss of posture, a steeper spine angle, and a swing that becomes hard to time.
When the pivot is wrong, the club tends to get thrown off plane, contact becomes inconsistent, and your ball flight starts doing weird things (blocks, pulls, weak fades, random hooks… you name it).

Can you put this into context of the Mike Austin swing? He advocates the feeling of exactly what you point out as a fault. The steeping wouldn’t happen if you “swayed” back to the left and then started to swing, according to Austin. Just my surface level understanding of Austin.
There is a crowd that tends to avoid and discourage technical instruction, and its videos like this that I think they need to see.
If I simply tried to swing in to out, I might do two wrongs to make a “sort of right swing” but other things like my ball striking and low point suffer.
I’m sure they have been burned by poor technical instruction, or maybe had too many technical thoughts at once, but if you can find the actual technical issue, and not the symptoms, you are setting your self up for better golf.
It’s funny no matter what you guys put out I just immediately crush the like button because I want more golfers to see your stuff rather than people teaching outlier golf swings eg.. Milo, Elite golf & Gankas…
