Well I'll state the obvious first - One that allows for a good rotational swing. What are the bad habits that snuck in?

Taking them too far back for one, too high for another.. I need a cue or a drill which will help him get in the right spot.

How dies that help with the load? I've seen it, and actually thought of something like that as a swing aid before seeing it, but does it help loading process?

I'm assuming them is hands/arms. This addresses one of the more important aspects of load.

If you take the variable of the arms and hands out of the equation you will find the torso and lower body issues easier to fix.

Not sure I understand...what torso and lower body issues?
