This video is an expansion of a small piece Clearwater did in the January Golf Digest.
This video explains why the common advice to "get behind the ball" during your backswing can actually shorten your backswing, and how staying centered over the ball can actually give you a better shoulder coil as well as the spine extension you want during your swing.
Ironically, it seems to me that this drill will also cause you to straighten your trailing knee more during your backswing, which was a standard move for many legendary players like Arnold Palmer. I most recently did a post about that move at this link, and you might want to experiment and see if Clearwater's drill also causes you to recreate a similar position.
As Clearwater says, you can do this drill indoors as much as you want... and we're all indoors a lot more lately, aren't we?
